While most Americans who braved the annual Running of the Sheep celebration were stocking up on discounted veggie steamers and last year’s flat screen TV models, those who understand the threats to liberty and personal safety chose to spend their hard earned wages on personal protection.
According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation sales of firearms on Black Friday broke a new record. The agency processed 185,345 background checks, or roughly two per second. The previous record was set shortly after the Sandy Hook shooting in 2012 when President Obama and numerous anti-gun Senators proposed widespread bans and restrictions on “weapons of war,” prompting literal lines out the door from Americans fearing government driven confiscation initiatives.
Black Friday shoppers sought to buy a record number of guns on the nation’s biggest retail holiday — about two every second — eclipsing a previous record set in the days after the Sandy Hook massacre.
The FBI processed a terrifying 185,345 firearms background checks — the most ever on a single day — on Black Friday, the agency said Tuesday.
While a background check does not mean a gun was purchased, the mandatory National Instant Criminal Background Check System checks are seen as the best measure for U.S. gun sales. (NY Daily News)
Mainline news outlets like USA Today, the New York Daily, and the Huffington Post made it a point to note that on the very day 185,345 Americans across the country were purchasing firearms a crazed individual killed three people and injured nine at a Planned Parenthood abortion clinic.
President Obama, who saw over 10,000,000 guns sold ahead of the 2012 Presidential election, weighed in after the shooting.
“Enough is enough,” Obama said in a statement on Saturday. He said the Planned Parenthood shootings showed the need to “to do something about the easy accessibility of weapons of war” for “people who have no business wielding them.” (Huff Post)
We assume he is referring to the millions of Americans who wield these weapons of war after being subjected to unconstitutional background check violations, attending multi-hour safety courses, studying their legal responsibilities in safe defense situations, and spending hundreds of hours at the shooting range ensuring they don’t kill innocent bystanders should they ever be forced to draw their weapons.
He couldn’t possibly be referring to people in positions of power who have initiated drone strikes that kill 90% civilians and control our nuclear strike codes, though they have never served in the United States Armed Forces, never held a private sector job, served as a state Senator for just two years with the only accomplishment to their name being a Harvard education for which no official records exist before becoming the highest elected official in the land.

Wonder how many of the sales are new gun owners and how many just people adding another gun to their collection?
Might be valid stats somewhere, but I don’t know where to look for them.

Assuming that data exists then its in violation of Federal Law (and many states) as it would require keeping background check records beyond the time allowed by law. Obviously its not only quite possible but highly probable that it is being done.
Um… Background check records are forever. The fact is required to keep the 4473 indefinitely, and to produce it on request to the BATF who can “inspect” them. The records revert to the BATF on the loss off the federal license, retailer closing, etc.
Not true. Dealers are only required to save form 4473 for 20 years.
Link to BATF&E stating how long form 4473 must be kept.
https://www.atf.gov/firearms/qa/how-long-are-licensees-required-maintain-atf-forms-4473
I stand corrected, I just checked. Thanks!
IIRC, if a dealer goes out of business for some reason -no longer is an FFL holder- he is required to turn the records over to the ATF.
I doubt they destroy them at the 20 year point.
So if you’ve bought one from a dealer in the last 20 years and he is no longer around the ATF most likely has your form and name on file.
I don’t think the rule has changed, but if it has and someone knows about it tell me.
The 4473 records are kept on paper. The NIX check has 30 days. Once in the land of electrons it is forever regardless what the law states because, “The Law” is notorious for not following the law.
On top of that, I doubt they go back and delete it from the automatic backup files as well after 30 days.
How often when you delete something from your computer do you also hunt it down on your backup files (server, etc.) and delete it there as well? I’m not even sure it is fully legal to scrub information from government back up files, no matter what Hillary may say.

Democracy Sold Out To Greed
Paul Craig Roberts
– 20 hours ago
While the “free Western media” cheers, the Western “democratic” governments sell out the peoples of the Western world to corporate tyranny …
Guns sales may very well set a new record in the coming days also. According to AOL news, some guy shot 20 people in California– which means Obummer and team will come out again, trying to steal our self defense.
i did MY part on black friday…and they ALREADY got our names, so why worry about it….keep stackin’ and packin’!….and BTW,….any IDIOT could see that with what’s happening, we need MORE guns, not LESS!…america(ns) will HAVE to wake up to this fact, sooner or,later………………
“and they ALREADY got our names, so why worry about it”
EXACTLY. If I’m not on someone’s list by now, I’m doing something wrong….
Barrels in the wrong place berry……..needs to be in your mouth.
Matthew,
This has to be THE BEST comment of the year!
Think you……all be here all week……don’t forget to tip your Waitress
Matthew, that’s right. Barrel needs to be in his mouth and his finger on the trigger.
Yup, his lips are already familiar with the dimensions….long, black and round.
hell, he done PULLED the trigger, when he told america he’s going to allow all those muzzies in here….probly more like gutshot hisself, so it’s going to TAKE A WHILE.
At least in his eyeball,,,,
But from the rumors he is adept at mouthing hard stuff
Winning post!!
Now that’s Something I’d love to watch…..splat…yeah that’s not going wash out….damn….this was my good Shirt…
I hope the current Administration knows that all these people are not spending their hard earned money on guns to just turn them in during an illegal gun confiscation.
Well put!
I’m not tuning jack shit in…..if you want it come and get.
Matthew, well said. I’m the same way. MOLON LABE
He has eclipsed Bill Clinton but a serious competitor is in the wings, Hillary Clinton.
Part of it is all the manufacturers are trying to get rid of inventory before Jan(tax time) and are having rebates and incentives to move out products. What we don’t know is that one background check might cover 1,2,5 or more weapons at one check. there might be 300,000 guns covered under those checks. The more the merrier. Throw Christmas in the mix and things are looking good!
Jim, I still plan on replacing my 2 favorite pistols that were stolen in the burglary last week; a week ago today. Gun show in my area Dec. 12-13. That time can’t get here soon enough for me.
Brave, check the palmetto state armory website. They usually have good deals for the holidays.
SR, appreciate the thought but I’m in TN. I doubt if SC would let me get anything in their state since I’m not a resident there.
Not to mention, it’s just one day of the weekend. Lots of folks are staying home or at the mall, instead of the gun shop. Wait for the sales tabulations at the end of December, it’s going to eclipse all prior records.
This is just the people who have to go through the instant background check before purchasing a firearm. As a CHL holder, I’m “Pre Checked” and don’t have to wait on the Instant Background Check to approve me each time I purchase a firearm. I just fill out the paperwork, give them my money and walk out with my firearm. I know there are lots of people in this nation with CHL’s or CCW Permits that are in the same boat as me.
There are well over 500,000 active CHL holders in Texas and about 6 million CCW holders in the U.S., none of which must wait on an federal instant background check.
OH YEAH!!! The people scare the crap out of The Powers That Shouldn’t Be….and that’s a good thing!
Delaware avoided the State NIX check for a CC permit holder but not the Federal check. They did two.
Locally, I’ve furnished either my CCW permit or my Curio & Relic FFL03 when buying anything at a shop, seems to satisfy the dealers about 1/3 of the time, the rest of them just keep on requiring the 4473 and NICS call.
The law says one thing, but some dealers are just not up on the law or want to play it safe. “Yes, your Honor, I did the background check on the purchaser.”
two per second…….that’s fuc@ing Marvelous……. Marvelous darling………. Keep on buying America….. they cant get them all!
Law enforcement officials in Chicago are incensed that three men charged with having millions of dollars in heroin and cash were released by a Cook County judge. Now, those men have now disappeared.
BTW,, these werent US citizens …
they came across the border , and anyone who thinks this Judge didnt take a bribe i have a bridge to sell
this Cook County Judge needs to be investigated , but not by any entity in Chicago ..by the people would be a step in the right direction, and he should be held in prison until the investigation of him is over , all his guns taken and he needs to be beat up by his own officers too while they are at it
why shouldnt he be treated like you and I would be?
Cook County Judge Maria Kuriakis Ciesel
In addition – You do NOT have enough ammo! You do NOT have enough ammo! You do NOT have enough ammo! You ALWAYS need more of the other sundry items. There is no such thing as too much practicing (dry fire or range time). And yes, they do want to take away YOUR guns. No, they can NOT be reasoned with, they are insane, rabid, murderous fanatics.
War. War never changes.
A good prep for anyone, even if they don’t reload, is a brick of rifle or pistol primers, costs $35 and fits in a shoebox, lasts forever. Pound of reloading powder, $25, also lasts forever. Keep your brass if you reload or not. 500 bullets, $50, keeps forever.
When SHTF, there will be at least one reloader in your community. Just one pound of powder will reload 300 .223 rounds or 600 pistol rounds. Your brass, once-fired, is generally good for between 4 and 10 reloads, depending on how much you work the necks.
Just picked up another “evil” black rifle yesterday. War is coming. Race war, Civil War, WWIII, maybe all of them.
I’m a Cold War Vet, but I will NEVER support a Government run by the Saudis/Muslim Brotherhood/Soros.

Excellent VIDEO at Paul Craig Roberts website about the NWO. According to him and others the “Trans Atlantic Trade Agreement” is the LAST STEP the bastards at the top have for their dream of NWO to come true.
IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT FOR EVERYONE TO LISTEN TO IT!!!

Its interesting that a MSM program like ABC World News Tonight has time for some puppy dog gets saved special interest story but not a second of information in the video you posted. Its even more amazing that people actually believe the news. I have said things to people and have got the reply, “I didn’t see that on the news”.
In the end control is easily facilitated with , “Food and Circus”. Its obvious that the food, genetically altered may pose some problems and if thats avoided the chemicals in it will get you. Circus is going to get real interesting. I suspect what we will witness in the next two decades will be shocking even by the very low bar of todays standards. You can bank on sex and dope to placate the masses. If you want to peer into the future look back at the past. They’re not reinventing the wheel but rather duplicating Rome with an Orwellian technological twist.

Anonymous and many other posters will enjoy/agree with this quote I found on the internet:
“A warning to the bankers and their sycophants:
There is a God in heaven which you have spurned and ignored and HE HAS ALLOWED YOU, IN HIS PLAN, to pull this Federal Reserve scam on the stupid and indolent American people. There is coming a day and very soon in which all of you will stand before Christ and be cast into eternal hell.
Every secret deal you made, every war which killed innocent children and young men and women, you will give account for. You will have no power nor excuse. Many of your colleagues are awaiting judgment right now and they will weep, as you will, realizing that for a few years of luxurious living, an eternal hell is awaiting.
THAT IS THE INTEREST ‘YOU’ WILL PAY!”
Amos Moses.
You have a fine name.
I like it.
Oh crap now with all the new gun sales AMMO will start to get in short supply! (Sarcasm)
I think this is great. People waking up or just up grading their fire power.
It is never too late but I hope they get a chance to practice. You really don’t want a $500.00 club.
Sgt.
I did my part, buying 2 handguns on Friday. But I’m not in those stats as I have a CWP and don’t go through the check. I wonder how many other CWP holders bought on Friday? Could bump that sales number up to over 200,000.
Gr8shot, I’m building my bank account back up to make the 2 purchases I mentioned earlier. 2 of my 5 handguns that were stolen were my favorites so they’re the only ones I’m replacing.
i bought 4 on black eye day!
Cowards arming themselves with more guns they are going to turn in as soon as their criminal fascist government tells them too. Hello coward Zombies, if you are arming yourself in case you are overrun by a tyrannical Corporatist Fascist NWO government controlled by psychopathic monsters….I hate to tell you this, but it is too late, the criminal psychopaths now have full control of our brain dead dumbed down society of coward pussy Zombies, and there is no waking the cowards up to stop the psychopathic monsters…THE ENEMY IS INSIDE THE GATES, AND THERE ARE NO REAL HUMANS LEFT IN COLLAPSING AMERICA TO STOP THE NWO PSYCHOPATHS, INCLUDING THE COWARD PUSSY ZOMBIES IN THE US MILITARY AND POLICE FORCES OF DUMBED DOWN BOOT LICKING ROBOTS, SO ARMING YOURSELF WITH MORE WEAPONS NOW IS JUST A PSYCHOLOGICAL HEAD GAME TO MAKE YOU FEEL BETTER.
Ron, speak for yourself. I’m not “playing any psychological head game to make myself feel better.” I’m replacing 2 weapons that were stolen from me since I’ll need them in the war that’s coming. Also, I’m not a coward. I will stand up and fight.
Yeah, right, we’re all out there spending hundreds of dollars on expensive guns just so we can turn them in later.
You just keep on thinking, Ron, you’re good at it.
The psychopathic genocidal monsters have taken over our food supply, and they are NOW putting the American coward Zombies under chemical attack with poisonous toxic GMO fake food, Big Pharma poison, and every other chemical they can pump into the Zombies to destroy their immune systems and ability to critically think. The psychopathic monsters have robbed the American Zombies blind in the greatest heist of middle class wealth in history through the derivative driven 2008 housing crash. The psychopathic criminal monsters controlling collapsing fascist America send thousands of young men and women to their death and maiming over the insane WMD lie, all for their NWO agenda and OIL. The Stasi Fascists in the NSA record everything we write and do in our Orwellian Fascist Police State nightmare, including this TRUTH about the psychopathic NWO criminal monsters…I could go on, and on, and on about the crimes of these criminal psychopathic monsters controlling the fascist shithole of collapsing America, but it would take me weeks…THEIR CRIMES ARE LEGION….SO PLEASE TELL ME EXACTLY WHEN AND WHAT MORE DO THESE PSYCHOPATHIC GENOCIDAL CRIMINAL CORPORATIST FASCIST MONSTERS HAVE TO DO FOR SO-CALLED BRAVE MEN AND WOMEN TO STEP UP AND ARREST THEM FOR TREASON, GENOCIDE, AND CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY????? ALL THESE CRIMES OF THESE PSYCHOPATHIC FASCIST GENOCIDAL MONSTERS CONTROLLING COLLAPSING BOOT LICKING AMERICA HAS NOT CAUSED AN UPRISING…THEN WHY WOULD ANY GUN CONFISCATION CAUSE THE COWARDS ZOMBIES TO DO ANYTHING DIFFERENTLY???????????????
Barry has his picture up in half of the gun shops across the nation with some notation of being gun salesman of the year
That’s probably one of the main reasons for the graying hair (kind of funny)
Fuck Obama and everything he stands for. Enough is enough.
***Breaking News***
Police are responding to reports of an active shooter in San Bernardino, Calif., where as many as 20 people have been injured, officials say
From police radio: Bomb technicians say the suspicious device is “out of the norm.” Officers evacuating the building now. Will use a robot to remove the possible explosive
Witnesses now telling police at the scene that there were three gunmen. “They said without a doubt there were three with long rifles,” officer says over police radio.
also told of wearing ski masks
confirmed an active shooter in the area of Orange Show Rd/ Waterman Ave near Park center.
Interestingly gun shops have more guns per square foot than any other civilian establishment and I have never heard of a mass shooting in one.
Coincidence.
I haven’t kept records but it looks like mass shootings have a predominating characteristic in that they occur in a gun free (or highly unlikely) zone.
Coincidence.
Should robots have rights?
Another fake shooting…as always a “drill” just happened to be going on nearby http://www.rawstory.com/2015/12/at-least-20-shot-just-blocks-from-san-bernadino-planned-parenthood/…….yawn.
Slight mention today on cspan of electric grid safety concerns, about time they get around to
Consider doing something about it. Probably the most important subject matter in US now
That we may have criminals being shipped in with immigrants and of course illegally running across
Both US and of course europes overrun boarders. And they immediately get free housing, everything in that housing, food, and money when they get here. And the taxpayer gets to
Foot the bill for this while our own citizens are out of work unemployed, homeless, suffer
Food insecurity,go without medicine etc. As this keeps happening more and more people
Are seeing this becoming aware and starting to share information and prepare.
Shooters possibly wearing Body Armor
Pretty soon we all will need Body Armor, that is, if that time hasent already passed
Better get it soon if you don’t already have it. There has been/continues to be talk of outlawing body armor for public purchase.
When I take their scalp, I’ll take their armor too.
More guns sold is great news. But guys… don’t forget to buy enough ammo too.
Another disconnected unhappy Democrat on psych drugs
It’s three of whoever this time, so look for some real news in a day or two.
Don’t have to wait a day or two, they were muslims. One of them worked there. Today was a holiday party for the staff, so this guy attends, perfectly normal, then gets up and leaves, returns a while later with two others in body armor and weapons, they start shooting.
“The FBI processed a terrifying 185,345 firearms background checks”
Why is that “terrifying”?
Because to them it’s terrifying that some of those are probably first time buyers who just maybe are “getting” whats going to go down.
Latest news is that police detonated a suspicious device. My heart is breaking. I know it should not be any different than any other active shooter incident. It is just that I think of my own son with cerebral palsy. I wish I could get my hands on the shooters for about an hour.
I have wondered for years why terrorist have not hit schools or a place like this. The backlash from things like this will be horrendous.
My heart, thoughts, and prayers, go out to the victim’s and there families.
Obama and the anti gun crowd are chopping at the bit to start passing more gun control.
They’re already out in force, this is workplace terror, gun laws need changed, blah, blah, blah, everything except calling it what is is, a terror cell that planned an attack on a soft target, the Christmas party at a large office site.
This is going to backfire on the left, no doubt about it.
Three people.
Semi auto rifles.
Wearing ski masks.
Tactical vests.
Possible body armor.
Targeted One room.
Left building almost unnoticed.
Slow dive off in tinted window SUV vehicle.
Sounds like a well coordinated attack. Not your average jerkoff.
Stinks all to hell….
Slingshot, can anyone say FALSE FLAG? Last count I heard is 14 dead, 14 wounded, the 3 shooters still at large. Another false flag courtesy of the antigun lobby.
BH, let’s see who did this before spouting off the usual suspects, eh? No difference between the left blaming the NRA and others blaming any convenient villain that vindicates their personal world view.
Smokey, I understand it remains to be seen, but a police drill was ‘conveniently’ taking place nearby when this broke out? It smells. There was also a drill on the day of Sandy Hook. HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.
Neither of which mean a thing. Police forces have active shooter drills a lot more, lately. They have reason to do them, you know.
As of right now, the shooters are 3 muslims, so looks like a terror cell activated itself and attacked a soft target.
It’s important that we keep our heads clear in the face of this kind of evil. What we may or may not believe or want to believe has to yield to the truth, or we lose the fight.
The thing about this latest gunning down innocent civilians by these evil trash is now they are
Being hunted!Try to get away but you will be hunted down,the hounds of hell are at your heals
A gun behind every blade of grass,and you will not be able to flee.Citizens in the vicinity will
Be on the lookout for the lowest scum on earth . GOOD HUNTING………
Well said brother, well said……but the judicial and congress are waaaay too corrupt to lift a finger to stop this OTHER criminal in office… The PEOPLE have to march on D.C..and unload both big white buildings…and find ethical people to fill those spots..IF we need govt. at all..which I don’t think we ever did…
Give up your guns and give up your country and your freedom.
Before all the victims were admitted into the hospital in San Bernardino, CA, Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders and, Barack Obama were calling for more gun control. Whether or not the politicians and bureaucrats are willing to admit it OR NOT the American people know this was a radical Islamic terrorist attack. Police officers at the scene identified this as Islamic terror within an hour. Americans are under attack from Islamic terrorists and Democrat politicians are trying to disarm us.
Why?
The politicians know very well that disarming law abiding American people will not stop such actions. So again why does the left wing Democrat party want to disarm the American people? They won’t say what they really want or that their true end goal is in fact total people control.
The goal of the left has always been the total elimination of gun possession by American civilians. The reason this is the left’s goal is they want a revolution, and they don’t care if it is a peaceful one or not. The goal is to make America a socialist/communist nation where they, the elitists, and politicians have total control, and they want to do this yesterday.
What the left cannot afford to risk is a counter-revolution by all of those troublesome gun toting civilians; because the people involved in the revolutionary attempt might get ventilated. Consequently, before the revolution they’ll come up with all these righteous sounding “common sense” gun-safety arguments to rationalize taking your weapons away incrementally one tiny law at a time. It may perhaps even be bold as Hillary Clinton has recently suggested, and make owning a weapon banned by law. Know this, whatever they say; though a sprinkling of truth may be in their words, it is propaganda pure and simple.
I’m certain that the first thing they’ll try is to eliminate semiauto guns of all types. And it’s going to be coming quickly. Don’t give them up! I don’t care what the now politicized Supreme Court says. Even if Justice Ginsburg climbs the bench hikes up her robe and dances a jig and shouts, “It’s the law.” Don’t give up ANY of your weapons. They’ll try semi auto’s first, then will come pump guns, then revolvers over five shots, then lever actions. Following that it’ll be as Senator Diane Feinstein once said, “Mr. and Mrs. America turn them all in.”
It’s coming. You can bet on it, but it should be a call to action for every American. It should be a call to get rid of every politician who agrees with such action. It may be a call to do more, but every legal avenue
The very fact that the Federal Government is considering banning weapons of any kind is the reason the Second Amendment to the Constitution was included in the Bill of Rights. Once the left has eliminated personal possession of weapons, the dictatorial nature of the left will raise its ugly head, and then they will do whatever, whenever they like.
So Ladies and Gents, who are citizens and own weapons, let me repeat with slight modification the words of Winston Churchill, “Never, never, never give up (your guns)!
And last James Madison and Thomas Jefferson, who had more brains than the entire left wing of this country, included the Second Amendment to the Constitution in the Bill of Rights specifically with the left wing, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and George Soros in mind; not for hunting, not even for personal protection, but to protect the nation from the “tyrants to be” on the left!
So regardless of what the propaganda line coming from the left wing politicians, the left controlled media, or the uninformed low information voters may be, don’t give up your guns, your ammunition, or your desire for freedom.
you’re a fucking idiot. you hear gun laws and equate them w/the boogie man coming for your guns.
1. The US Government Will Come Door to Door and Take My Guns. My Rights Will Be Violated.
No, they won’t. Think for a moment about what would be required for this to happen. You’d need to have a House, Senate, President *and* Supreme Court that were all extreme left liberal and who had zero cares about ever getting elected again. Or you’d need to have a dictator take over of the US. Or the alien benevolent overlords would need to appear. None of that is going to happen – though I pray to the alien gods every day to come save me from this stupidity.
2. Even If the Government Comes for Your Guns, You Will Be Find
Because they will do it with the efficiency of the IRS or the Post Office. You’ll have decades.
3. Seriously, When Our Crazy Muslim President Takes Over and Comes for My Guns, I’ll Need My Guns to Defend Myself
Hush up, no you won’t. Why won’t you? Because I can say with 99% certainty that you are also a person who votes regularly to put as much budget money as possible into the military. And hey, I’m with you on that. I want to live behind the big dick and balls of the world’s most formidable military, and I think most people who bitch about military spending would change their tune the first time they didn’t have the luxury of the protection of that military and the comfort it affords most US citizens. But here’s a fact: Putting every dollar we have into the world’s biggest, baddest military means that there is no arsenal you will every build up in your house that will give you a fighting chance if our crazy Muslim, African-born president goes dictator on you. So stop talking crazy.
4. I Need My Guns To Defend Myself Against the Terrorist Muslim Refugees Who Are Going To Take Over
No, you don’t. Because refugees are not going to kill you. But terrorist will. They are probably going to come at some point. And I think it’s fucking adorable that you think that when they do they’re going to fire some kind of warning shot so that you can go get your assault rifle. You’ll be dead before you even realize they’re there.
5. Only a Good Guy With a Gun Can Defeat a Bad Guy With a Gun
On principle, I don’t disagree with you. And I enjoyed Deadwood, too. Statistically though, you’re not as likely to save a damsel in distress with your gun as you are to have a toddler shoot you. I mean, those are just the numbers.
6. But Responsible Gun Owners …
Yes, and if you fit that category, you seriously won’t have a problem getting a reasonable gun.
7. I Need a Gun to Combat Violence From Illegal Guns
Most of those illegal guns start as legally transacted guns. It’s not like huge gun cartels smuggling stuff in. It’s legal guns getting stolen or just being bought legally and then resold illegally. Control the legal guns, you’ll vastly improve controlling the illegal ones.
the second amendment was added just for the government we have NOW.
I respect law enforcement and our laws..to a point. But unless a cop can stand in front of my house or be at my side 24/7, I will carry a gun. Hmmm this kinda sounds like what politician s have.
