"FBI: April Was Twelfth Consecutive Month of Record Background Checks

The string of record-setting months began in May 2015 — when that month saw more background checks than any May on record. June 2015 set the all-time record for June, July set the all-time record for July, August the all-time record for August, and so on, all the way through April 2016.

According to the FBI, the number of background checks performed in April was 2,145,865. That beats the previous April record of 1,742,946, which was set in 2014.

This means the 2,145,865 checks performed in April 2016 could easily translate into 4,291,730 guns sold in April alone, if everyone who passed a check bought two guns."
