More U.S. residents applied to purchase handguns, rifles and other firearms from licensed dealers on Black Friday than any other day on record, according to Federal Bureau of Investigation data released this week.

Black Friday, the day after the U.S. Thanksgiving Day holiday, is the traditional start of the U.S. holiday shopping season, with sharp retail discounts on merchandise.

On Nov. 27, a total of 185,345 applicants were processed through the FBI's National Instant Criminal Background Check System, which determines whether a person is eligible to purchase guns from a licensed dealership, the FBI said in a statement...

It just keeps getting better!

The Dem/libs have been engaging in a steady push to infringe on our right
to keep and bear arms for decades. And this is how it has been working out
for them in the last two decades...

• The percentage of Americans who own guns has increased.
• The percentage of Americans who believe we have a right to own guns has increased.
• The number of guns owned per gun owner has increased.
• The amount of ammunition possessed per gun owner has increased.
• Concealed carry laws have spread from state to state like wildfire.
• Castle Doctrine laws have been passed in numerous states.
• Stand Your Ground laws have been passed in many states.
• Gun rights lobbying groups have become a cottage industry unto themselves sprouting up like mushrooms after a rainstorm.
• In the worst economy since the Great Depression the firearms industry can't keep up with orders or expand fast enough.
• 65.4 Million Guns Bought Since Obama Took Office, 91% More Than Bush's First-Term Total
• 46,455 Background Checks For Gun Purchases Each Day Under Obama

And in the last two months... (Nov. 2012 and Dec. 2012)

• Americans Buy Enough Guns in Last Two Months to Outfit the Entire Chinese and Indian Armies
• NRA membership has increased by 250,000. (Jan. 2013)

And it continues...

• NRA Surges to Record 5 Million Members (May 4, 2013)

And there is more...

And more...

• FBI: March 2014 Was Biggest March in Gun Background Check History
  ...the raw data shows "2,488,842 total background checks
  were performed in March 2014."

And yet more...

• Gun sales spike in June (highest June sales since 1999) July 7, 2015
  Background checks for gun sales spiked 11% in June compared to last year, making it the busiest June ever,...

And more and more and...

• FBI data shows record number of September gun sales October 10, 2015

[Cobra64]

Bought another 1911. Yippee!

[wright2bear]

I bet the sales continue to skyrocket, especially now terrorism has arrived on our shores.

[RandallFlagg]

And what the hoplophobic morons don’t realize is that one can put multiple firearms on a single 4473.
So, those are very likely LOW numbers compared to actual sales.

HO HO HO MFers.

That is one merry BLM (Black Longarms Matter) Christmas! The young lady in the red shirt appears to have a DD M4V9, which beats the hell out of getting a toaster or box of chocolates in these trying days.

FWIW, yet another acquaintance of mine armed himself this week. He has figured the "antis" out and acted accordingly.

[ichabod1]

So we DO have universal background checks. So what, therefore, does that man in the hut plan to do with more?

[ichabod1]

Check the records of who own’s most of the firearms industry. Probably big talkin’ democrats.

[Duckdog]

Bet they go up on 3 dec.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

Probably gonna be bigger sales today!

[TigersEye]

I didn’t realize that. I’ve only bought one firearm through an FFL seller. Sold it a couple of years later. (regret regret regret)

I know plenty of people who have bought multiple firearms at one time though. Who could even guess the number of private sales in the last 100 years? Guns wear pretty well after all.

[TigersEye]

That’s a thought! Liberal hypocrisy would be no surprise at all.
