‘MURICA: August Gun Sales Climb Back Over the 1 Million Mark. “NSSF is encouraged to see the adjusted NICS background checks top 1 million in the month August once again. We know there is a strong and continued interest in lawful firearm ownership and these figures bear out the truth that Second Amendment rights are valued. These figures are more than data points. They represent Americans from all walks of life who are, quite literally, investing in their safety, security and freedom.”

Well, estimated sales, to be fair.
