* Sales-adjusted figures serve as a proxy for firearms sales but do not represent actual numbers of guns sold. Figures are calculated by excluding background checks for permits and other administrative purposes. In some cases, sales-adjusted figures may be greater than total background checks due to sales of multiple items. Figures may include sales of non-firearms items.
