National Instant Crime Background Check System

The FBI maintains statistical reports on firearm background checks via the National Instant Crime Background Check System.  These statistics do no represent every weapon purchased in the United States during each respective year as referenced. The reports do show a steady and significant rise in the number of weapons purchased – in 2015 the number was 23, 141, 970 (this is for one year only).
