Americans Bought Enough Guns on Black Friday to Arm the Marine Corps – Yet Again!
According to the FBI, over 200,000 background check requests associated with the purchase of a firearm were submitted to the agency on Black Friday, marking the second highest gun sales day ever. The previous record was set on the day after Thanksgiving in 2016. In both 2017 and 2016, enough guns were potentially purchased on Black Friday to arm every active duty United States Marine.

These numbers also do not take into account firearms which were purchased online. Those firearms will then be shipped to a license seller in the purchaser’s area and a background check will be done when they pick up the firearm, so those checks could be spread out over the following weeks

Just left Runnings in Rome. Looks like they've sold a large amount of firearms, noticeably thin inventory especially long guns.

Only 6? Jeezum dude you need to catch up. I have filled one caliber card (front and back)this year. That doesn't include the long guns that have showed up in the house this year. I think my wife already knows or at least suspects I added a few more this year. However I don’t need you guys to tell her, Just in case!
