Black Friday was the Biggest Single Day Record for Gun Checks

Posted on November 25, 2017

The FBI  received more than 200,000 background check requests on Black Friday which set a new single day record, the bureau reported Saturday.

How much exactly?  203,086 requests on Friday 11/24,  that passed the previous Black Friday record of 185,713  in 2016.  Gun checks, required for purchases at federally licensed firearm dealers, are not a measure of actual gun sales.  The surge could be because of the recent events and the church tragedy of Nov 5th.   MORE at WFAA 

In all, the FBI fielded 203,086 requests on Black Friday, up from the previous single-day highs of 185,713 last year and 185,345 in 2015. The two previous records also were recorded on Black Friday.
