The FBI processed a record background checks in October. It was the sixth straight month in a row that gun sale went up.

News 2 reported:

The Federal Bureau of Investigation processed a record number of background checks in the month of October. That’s the 6th month in a row indicating that gun sales are up nationally.

The FBI processed nearly 18 million background checks so far this year, and 2 million in October.

Those with the FBI say the number of background checks is an accurate way to determine gun sales because a check needs to be conducted in order to purchase, but does not account for those guns sold through private vendors.
