U.S. Sees Highest Black Friday Gun Sales in Recorded History

Though Black Friday turnout dramatically dropped this year, gun sales were higher than ever.

According to the FBI, there were more than 175,000 background checks on Friday, making it the busiest Black Friday in recorded history. But even at a rate of almost three background checks a second, November 28 was beat out by December 21, 2012, which saw more than 177,000 background checks.

Check out the sentences in bold - WTH?  I didn't know about a three business day rule and find it absolutely STUPID and so would most gun owners.

The number of background checks filed on Friday represents almost three times the daily average. Since law requires background reviews be completed within three business days, 600 FBI employees worked around the clock this weekend. If the government fails to complete a background check on time, a buyer is allowed to make their intended gun purchase anyway.

And there's this:

But the system these few employees rush to work within is flawed. Last year, 186,000 background checks, or 512 a day, fell through the FBI’s review system because states failed to hand over complete criminal and mental histories of their residents or did not provide the information in time. This has been an issue in roughly 2 percent of cases the FBI has handled.

There should be NO gun sales without the requisite criminal/mental histories PERIOD.  No info, no gun - go complain to your non-representative.

Full disclosure.  I fully support the right of gun ownership and have NO problem with background checks.

The prices went down.

[mroped]

Maybe people decided to "refresh" their weaponry?
Or or maybe it had become a trend to gift your child/spouse/significant other a pistol/revolver or rifle/shotgun for Christmas?
Or or just simply people thought that being Black Friday maybe they can get a good deal on the weapon that they wanted for so long

As to the OP- that is a strange and stupid rule- I wonder how that language got into the law, NRA?  Have to look into that one.

[jkapp]

Sounds about right for government...heck, the president has been saying that if you sneak into the country illegally and avoid being discovered for several years, then you can get citizenship.  Government is fucked...

[AgeOfEnlightenmentSCP]

Prices are WAY down.  I bought, er um, I mean Santa picked up another AR-15 for the boy and I paid HALF for a better gun than I did my own three years ago.

What the hell for?  That stupid shit is exactly the kind of hardware that needs to be outlawed for civilian sale- no legitimate purpose.

Like the teeth on the front of it though- would look good on a gun rack in a beat-up pickup with truck nuts.

I am assuming the people that would buy this are the same people who buy tuner chips for their diesels so they can smoke on a Prius

People that would need weapons like that while living in the US are either hard core criminals and they belong in jail, psychologically disturbed and they belong in a facility or sexialy and socially impotent and in their own world handling a gun like that makes them feel in charge. 
What would one want to use this weapon for? You can't hunt with it and is not a good home defense weapon.
i see how it could be used by the military but nothing else. Not even the law enforcement people don't need that!
but I bet there are already people waiting to get their hands on!

I don't think anyone NEEDS a double barreled AR-15... but it does look cool as hell. Might be good to have in the upcoming Zombie Apocalypse though...

[ՏՇԾԵԵʅՏɧ_LԹՏՏʅҼ]

Why on earth would your average law-abiding citizen want a weapon such as that?

It sure isn't for target practice - or hunting. (Unless you're hunting as @richardintn stated, Zombies.)

And if you were thinking of hunting zombies with that thing, I'd seriously hope the men in white coats would get you into a nice padded room before someone got hurt - or blown to smithereens.

I think they got short dicked by the Lord.

But- just as the open carry losers- and I think this is nothing more than otherwise (to use the PBP term) pussies acting out.  In fact open carry for the most part these days is used by little men showing to the world they are armed and dangerous.  If you are not a police officer and walk around in the city with your gun hanging out you are the   Might as well drop your pants and show the world your tiny dick

[mroped]

I bet is cool to shoot such a thing or maybe kill a zombie or two  but to spend I'm guessing over 1k or more for that just for the few seconds of thrill...nah! I'd rather give that money away say to Wounded Warior Project?! At least somebody will take full benefit of that.
ofcourse I wouldn't tell anybody "don't buy it!" After all each for his own! This is still a free country  (do I hear whispers saying otherwise? )

Wait, they have such an item? 

[AgeOfEnlightenmentSCP]

But seriously- the Prius runs on coal- to say nothing of the Sudbury Nickel mine.  Fucking geniuses are kind of dumping shit all over everyone.

The Toyota Prius is among the greenest cars to operate. But manufacturing the famous gasoline-electric hybrid can be a dirty business.
Toyota studied the car's total environmental impact from factory to junkyard.

Not surprisingly, the fuel-efficient Prius was better than average in its class of vehicles in lifetime emissions of carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxide and sulfur oxide, according to Toyota.

But it was slightly worse than average in emissions of nonmethane hydrocarbons and particulate matter. Toyota says this is because producing hybrid-only parts such as motors, inverters and nickel-metal hydride batteries consumes more energy and creates more emissions.

In fact, when looking at the "materials manufacturing" phase of the car's life cycle, the Prius was worse than the class average across all five emissions categories.

People bothered by open-carry just need more information.  I'm personally opposed to open-carry, but not for the reasons hysterical anti-gun NAZIs are.  I feel that open carry loses the benefits of concealed carry.  In other words, I'm a fan of the free-ridership created by concealed carry.  When the criminals have to guess, my guess is there's a greater deterrent.  I like the not knowing part for the bad actors.  I like them wondering, if I jump this lady, is she going to shoot me? Will someone else shoot me? It's a healthy thought I'd like them to have to keep mulling over as part of their "job".

My dear, dear sweet Lassie- you wouldn't need a gun like that for target practice or hunting, but the 2nd Amendment ain't about target practice and hunting.  The Second Amendment is our Constitution's Doomsday Clause.  It's the shoot back provision, just in case we have to.

[ktunes]

just look at the tax stamps that thing might require...shorten the barrels a bit, silencers, full auto...would that be six stamps before you even got it damn gubment...

wonder if it comes in 7.62 x 51

[mroped]

Oh, Paul! That gun would be useless against the Government comming after u anyways since they'll send in drones and all.  Did you know that the very people that would come if they come are in fact US citizens that pledged to defend the Constitution and the people against all enemies foreign and domestic? What makes you think that they will discard the second amendment?
ktunes: shortening the barrels on that would make it a bear to handle. The recoil would be unbearable and make it very difficult to shoot at anything. No precision and no speed on the flying round. Making it a 7.62x54(never heard of a 51) would make it more of a problem since increasing the powder load would create more recoil. It has been experimented with with a slightly longer barrel on 7.62 caliber and it proved inefficient.
A two barrel sub-machine gun is not a novel idea at all.

Even unarmed- talking sticks and stones, and non-compliance- it only takes three percent (3%) of a population to throw off a tyrannical government.  More than 3% are wide awake right now, and there's probably still half the population that if ever aroused (viagra pun intended    would stick it to this corrupt government-- and it probably wouldn't take but about four hours.
