US firearms sales hit all-time high on Black Friday
WASHINGTON — US firearms sales reached a record 129,166 during last week's Black Friday that kicked off the holiday shopping season, a 32 percent increase from the previous all-time high, officials said.
The FBI confirmed the jump from the last peak of 97,848 weapons sold during Black Friday of 2008, telling AFP that "we do not have an explanation for the increase."
The figures, first reported by USA Today, are based on the number of background check requests for prospective buyers sent by gun dealers to the FBI.
Part of the increase was attributed to a growing number of first-time buyers who are purchasing firearms for protection, while more women are engaging in sport shooting and hunting.
"There also is a burgeoning awakening of the American public that they do have a constitutional right to own guns," National Shooting Sports Foundation spokesman Larry Keane told the newspaper.
He said 25 percent of the purchases are usually made by first-time buyers, including many women.x

You see in this world there's two kinds of people my friend. Those with loaded guns, and those who dig. You dig?

Agreed. I've had several friends that have never before shown any interest in owning guns ask help in picking one or two out. I think people are starting to realize the world we live in, and want to be ready.

Finally more people are learning to enjoy the sport of shooting. I guarantee, "Once you shoot back, Youll never go back!"
Is that more what you were looking for MP?
Of course I am compensating for something.... If I could kill something at 300 meters with my c*ck I would not need a gun!
