They report that it&#8217;s three times the number of any given day over the last year;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The actual number of guns sold was likely even higher. The FBI only tracks background checks, not sales \u2014 and weapons buyers can purchase more than one weapon at a time.<\/p>\n<p>In the first ten months of this year, the FBI performed 17,238,102 background checks, which gun dealers say is actually a slower market, The Huffington Post reported. The panic-buys of 2012, fueled by President Obama\u2019s vow to crack down on gun violence via more Second Amendment regulations, has cooled off slightly, they say. So they\u2019ve ratcheted their marketing for this year\u2019s holiday season, with Black Friday price-cuts abound.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I&#8217;ve noticed that the guns I&#8217;ve been looking for over the last year are appearing more often on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/\">Guns America<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gunbroker.com\/\">Gun Broker<\/a>. I even picked up ammo for my .338 Lapua Mag for about half of what I paid for it seven months ago. Prices haven&#8217;t come down to the level they were in the Spring of 2012, but they&#8217;re getting there.<\/p>\n<p>But I got an mail ad for a Black Friday sale from one of the ammo dealers and when I went to their website, most of the ammo I was looking at was out of stock still. So, I guess it&#8217;s not over yet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Washington Times says that the FBI performed 154,873 background checks yesterday as the long drought &hellip; <a title=\"Black Friday gun deals abound\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=38672\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Black Friday gun deals abound<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[156],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-38672","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-guns"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38672","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=38672"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38672\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=38672"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=38672"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=38672"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
