2017 Black Friday results in record gun sale background checks

[Puffnstuff]

According to this USA Today story 200k background checks were performed yesterday. IDK but I keep getting in stock alerts from slidefire. Folks must be stocking up before certain items are taken off the market.

Nothing celebrates the season of the birth of Christ like buying a weapon to kill things with.

Gun violence is good for gun business. Everyone gets whipped into a frenzy buying with the belief that the government will outlaw stuff but they never do and most Americans' attention spans are short.

yay? I guess we need to ask did they shop at the big box gun-o-rama or did they shop the local markets, you know, to be more responsible for helping the local economy rather than getting their death machines from a faceless corporation.

Love to see 2A related business thrive. That's the way it should be in our country.

This just in: MORE of something than usual got sold on Black Friday- a day when every manufacturer of *****everything***** advertises and discount their products.....

Really?? Time to get all outraged over this ONE product type being the same as a million others on Black Friday!


And so funny how those who pretend that background checks are enough, get all pissy about this- revealing their hand. So basically the "I'm okay with background checks! No one is calling for bans!" is bullshit and really... you just like to get pissy whenever ANYONE buys guns.

(Don't worry... WE KNEW!)

Christ was born in the summer.

What most of you heathens are celebrating is actually a pagan holiday.

Yeh, maybe slidefire will put out a Stephen Paddock commemorative edition, huh?

You know I signed up after the shooting just to see when they were coming back in stock which has happened twice so far so people are buying them to beat a ban. They are a product with a customer base and if people are willing to buy them they will produce them. Since the atf declared them to be legal there's nothing stopping them from manufacturing or selling them. Stephen Paddock killed those people not the slidefire.

Yep. Just as soon as such a cool firearms accessory is used for mass murder then every true blue gun nut in America is dying to have one of their own. Go figure.

Pagans celebrated consumerism? Next you'll tell us Jesus wasn't white.

I've got my eye on a heavy barrel Savage Mark II .22lr bolt action rifle that is marked down to $143.07 OTD at a local North 40 Outfitters. It's the synthetic stock and I like wood but for the money it will make a nice, accurate plinker. Scope bases are already installed and I've got a 6-20x scope that would go well with it. The sale ends tomorrow, and I really don't need it, but if it's still there after work I might make the instant background check tally +1.

He was Jewish.

Yes. But you hypocrites don't care if it doesn't help push your political agenda, and second hand smoke deaths do nothing for you.

Bringing up issues does not make someone a hypocrite.
Stop straw-manning people!

but that the alpha and omega of his 'debate'
how will he ever explain it otherwise?

 

[sdifox]

Thoughts and prayers are enough.

Sadly, that is 100% true.

You are truly a one hit wonder, all you seem to be able to do is make the same old hapless argument for your bang sticks. Guess what tinkerbell for the vast majority of americans not everything in life revolves around the second amendment.
