Reuters<\/a> reports that the there were more than 200,000 background checks requests to the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) on Black Friday, ostensibly for Christmas shoppers hoping to buy firearms;<\/p>\n

The bureau said that it received 203,086 requests for background checks on Friday, smashing the previous all-time single day record of 185,713 in 2016 and 185,345 in 2015.<\/p>\n

Those records were also set on Black Friday, according to USA Today.<\/p>\n

Background checks are required for anyone seeking to purchase a gun at a federally licensed dealer.<\/p>\n

While the number of requests for background checks is high, the number of guns sold is likely even higher since one customer often seeks to buy more than one weapon.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

But, I thought that there were no background checks – why else would we be reading that 95% of Americans want background checks for all gun purchases.<\/p>\n

Of course, the reason people are buying guns this holiday season is because of Democrat law makers who are threatening to tighten ownership rules for lawful gun owners – not criminals – hoping to make some lawful gun owners criminals. They keep threatening “grandfather clauses” which encourage binge buying before the laws are effective, which is why there guns enough to arm every American in the hands of only a few.<\/p>\n

Democrat lawmakers support gun makers’ bottomline more than anything the NRA can do for manufacturers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
