May NICS checks set new record.

1,435,917 NICS checks for May. 10,164,590 for the year - also a record as each month of this year has set a new record for NICS checks for that month.

That is lots of folks buying guns.

I may decide to buy an AR-15 if I move to a more rural area in the future if I have feral hogs on my property.
