Americans were big spenders on Black Friday–especially on guns.
Numbers from the Federal Bureau of Investigation show an all-time one-day high for background check requests from gun buyers last Friday. There were 129,166 requests to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS)–a third more than the previous record of 97,848 on Black Friday 2008, FBI spokesman Stephen Fischer said. On Black Friday last year, there were 87,061 requests.
Sure, but as you read the rest of the article ABC does it's usual hack job and does it's best to undermine the statistics and demonize the NRA.
