FBI Predicts Black Friday Gun Sales Will Break Record
Breitbart ^

Posted on 11/27/2015 1:46:31 PM PST by Red in Blue PA

On the heels of six consecutive record-breaking months of gun sales, the FBI predicts Black Friday gun sales will break records as well.

Breitbart News previously reported that Black Friday sales–as estimated based on background checks–hovered around 98,000 in 2008 and 2009 then took off in 2010. In 2011 Black Friday background checks totaled 129,166. They rose to 154,873 in 2012, before falling back back to 144,758 in 2013 after Senator Joe Manchin’s (D-WV) gun control bill was defeated.

But in 2014 the number of Black Friday background checks came in at a record setting 175,000, and the FBI predicts Black Friday 2015 will surpass that.

According to The Trace, FBI spokesman Stephen Fischer believes Black Friday 2015 will see “190,000 background checks.” This is “slightly more than two background checks every second” during a 24-hour period.

Is this just the gun count from Hussein, H-> and McCain to ISIS?

I thought in light of the Paris attacks and ISIS on the loose, people would be demanding more gun control and turn to politicians with proven experience, like Yeb or Marco.

Shocked(!) to find otherwise.

I couldn’t get near our local gun store today. And it is a big store & we are a little town.

Made me feel all warm and fuzzy.

Cool. Looks like people are waking up and/or stocking up. Gives me a warm fuzzy feeling inside to know more are arming against the sh*tters of the country. Too bad France, Belgium, England, and others haven't figured it out.

Just a handful of OFWG’s adding to their already bulging arsenals, that’s all. According to Rachel Madcow & others.

Google “more guns fewer owners” and read the liberals’ madness.

Also google “gun owners lying to pollsters” where libs say it’s wrong to do so.

Then for dessert try, “gun owners mentally disturbed” and see what pops up.

I can guarantee Black Friday sales at gun stores will be polite and orderly. There may be a line...but there won’t be any line-breaking.

Probably hear quite a few “please and thank you’s”.

President 0bama earlier had "encouraged Americans to discuss the topic of firearms" around the Thanksgiving table this year.

We apparently did and America-loving patriots decided which model they wished as their next purchase. I know I opted to buy another red dot scope. Woo-hoo!

I question those numbers. I bought a carbine this morning at Sportsman Warehouse. Because I have a concealed weapons permit, no check was necessary. It was paid for and I left the store with it.
