I bought three in one month in May last year. As far as I know, the only flag is buying two handguns on a single transaction.

Are law is that you are approved for a hand gun you can buy as many as you want that day and time. New day new paper work. and they need a lawful reason to pull your paper work including a warrant from the courts, to see your info. they do not know if you purchased one that day or twenty. with out a warrant. and any true gunshop owner would never show it without one. unless justified. but in are state theres no law stopping you from sellin me a hand gun at a gunshow I just have to register it, to carry it with my lifetime permit.

This was an interesting exercise. I opened my Deal Sheet spreadsheet and looked for the dates. I have a spreadsheet with my gun buys and sells going back 10 years, with detailed recorded. I'm only going to count back five years, though. The reason is that for a while before that I was [strike]incarcerated in[/strike] a resident of NYC, and that slowed me down quite a bit temporarily.
Looks like it breaks down to, since 2005:
Months with four guns: One (January this year, actually)
Months with three guns: Four
Months with two guns: Three
Months with one gun: Most all the others. And I am picking up this month's gun tomorrow.
Tomorrow's lucky victim: A pre-Series 80 Colt Combat Commander in 9mm. All original and high condition. Already google-mapped a range 10 miles from the FTF meet-up to put that puppy to the test. This may set some people back a bit, but in 35+ years of steady gun-love, this will be my first 9mm I personally owned. Have shot others owned by friends, family, and lovers, but this one is the first I felt like buying with my own money. I'm traditional; I wait to see if something is really going to hang around a while. It looks like 9mm has finally convinced me.
Now .327 Federal?; well, I have it penciled in to check back on that cartridge about the year 2120.

I think the state of AR has a limit of 12 buying/selling and then they count you as a dealer requiring an FFL. But I have dreamed weird things and this could be one of them

Looking back through my records, I see that I bought four guns in a single month three times in 2009 and three guns in a single month twice. Apparently I'll have to step up the pace a bit.
One month the opportunities to round out my collection just kept popping up and I ended up buying 6.

Holy hell, is there a 'cable repair' truck permanently parked cross the street?

I can't even keep track anymore
Over the past 12 months I would say I averaged two per month. However I do recall a month or two when I bought at least four.

It's the same here in Kentucky. My CCP allows me to fill out the form, pay, and take my gun/s with me sans NICS call. It's a real perk.
In the past 7 years, my biggest month would have had 20-24 guns in one month. That was when Centerfire Systems was running clearance prices on the 8mm Turkish Mausers. I bought 20 of them (They were $35 each for the long-barreled versions). I scrubbed, cleaned, de-greased, sporterized, refinished stocks, turned bolt handles, cut and re-crowned barrels, buffed, re-blued, and installed scope mounts for three months.
When Christmas rolled around, I gave every shooting/hunting family member and friend one of the Mausers - sporterized and scope-ready - and a box of cartridges for Christmas.
That's still some of the best money I ever spent. At least 10 of the old Turks have since bagged deer, and one of them has claimed two Elk. Three of my nephews learned to shoot center-fire rifles with the Turks. I accidentally converted one uncle to a Mauser cartridge fan for life (He has since bought two or three more 8x57s, three 7x57s and two 6.5 Swedes).
I remember my wife referring to my garage/workshop as "Santa's Little Armory" for years after that.

I've purchaed 29 firearms, both handgun and longgun/shotgun in the past 14 months.
Half of them were in 1 transaction last April otherwise 1 or 2 per month is about right.
Ive sold and/or traded 17 in the same time frame, along with roughly $6K in ammo sales.

in a month, hmm id vote just under 30 like 26-27 something around there
A rough estimate of the most firearms I ever purchased in a single month would be 38. That included rifles, shotguns and handguns. I purchased about 13 in a single store visit, and no one blinked an eye. Of course that was all pre 9-11. Because of the quantity and quality of firearms that I was purchasing, I managed a 20% discount on the firearms and 30% discount on the ammo.

I've done 3 in one day. I'm pretty sure the cloaked black chopper is above my roof.

Looks like my "1" doesn't make the ante at this table.
