The latest figures from the FBI show that July 2016 was the 15th consecutive month of record background checks for gun sales.
The previous July record was set in 2015, when there were 1,600,832 background checks. But the FBI reports that July 2016 there were 2,197,169–an increase of nearly 600,000 checks.

And that only counts the sales that actually have to go through a background check because of a purchase thru an FFL dealer, or thru a private party request.
It does not cover any private sales from guns brought into the US via a plethora of different avenues. Or, sales of guns that have been in private hands, since the US became a country.
I was just shown one last w/e, that had been in a family heirloom collection since the Civil War. And a beautiful specimen it was.
