There's a study from UC Davis that suggests the number is a bit higher but really points out how difficult it is to determine given that unlicensed dealers will be selling along side licensed dealers at gun shows.
We should have background checks and registration for all sales. That would be reasonable. Sorry my negativity is just running high today between the rhetoric from some of my republican friends rants on proposed gun regulations and the whole debt ceiling/sequestration drama.
