Another record for background checks

• 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 checks, but last month there were 2,197,169.
• Each person may buy multiple firearms once passing a background check, so the amount of guns sold at retail may be even higher than then number of background checks performed.
