NICS Firearm Background Check numbers for 2016

https://www.fbi.gov/file-repository/nic ... h_year.pdf

2016 Total: 27,538,673

Obama's tenure 2009-2016: 157,233,157

Since Nov 1998 the NICS system has done 253,217,165 background checks.

Not included are how many background checks were approved for purchase, which would be a good number to publish. Although that still wouldn't give a 1 to 1 correlation of actual purchases considering multiple firearms purchased at one time and purchases made in states like Texas that do not require an NICS check for LTC holders.
