Are there really 5 million new gun owners or 5 million background checks were performed. I honestly would be tickled evil black gun (oh shit I'm racist) color if the former. 5 million more Pro 2A sure would not hurt.
Almost 40 million NICS checks. Which can be for more than one firearm on a single check.
Over 7 million NICS checks on people with no previous NICS check.
So likely first time buyers. Or someone who has not bought a new firearm in a long time (November 30, 1998)
