The number of background checks on gun purchases for Black Friday reached the second-highest total in history, indicating that gun sales on Black Friday reached their second-highest total for any day in history. On Black Friday, the FBI ran 202,465 checks. As AP noted, the numbers of background checks “remain the most reliable method of tracking the industry.”
AP added, “By the end of November, more than 25.4 million background checks – generally seen as a strong indicator of gun sales – had been conducted by the FBI, putting 2019 on pace to break the record of 27.5 million set in 2016, the last full year President Barack Obama was in the White House.”
Politico constantly reminds us that Biden wants to take our guns away and ban the sale and manufacturing to assault weapons and high capacity magazines. Those types of weapons already owned by the public would then be regulated under the National Firearms Act, similar to the one for machine guns and silencers. Biden also wants to launch a federal buyback program for those tho choose not to register their weapons with the National Firearms Act and all online sales of guns would be banned.
