It does appear the increase in gun sales in America is owing to an ever smaller number of buyers.
Why are so many guns being bought and sold - and stolen, each year?

Just 3 percent of Americans own almost half of the country’s guns, study says

The study, released before publication to the Trace and the Guardian, estimates that nearly half of the 265 million guns now owned privately belong to just 3 percent of Americans. Though most of the country’s 55 million gun owners possess one to three guns, about 7.7 million owners have eight or more.
