Below is a chart illustrating NICS background checks. Of note, November and December 2012 as well as January 2013.

And those numbers may in fact be a lot higher. Here in Arizona if you have a concealed carry permit (like me) you can walk into any gun store and purchase a pistol, rifle etc. with no background checks.
I don't know how many other states do this. Food for thought.
