The Amateur Message Boards of the World Famous VoyeurWeb

From USA Today:

More Americans had their backgrounds checked purchasing guns on Black Friday than any day on record, according to data released by the FBI this week.

The National Instant Criminal Background Check System processed 185,345 requests on Nov. 27, one of the largest retail sales days in the country.

"This was an approximate 5% increase over the 175,754 received on Black Friday 2014," wrote Stephen Fischer, the FBI's chief of multimedia productions. "The previous high for receipts were the 177,170 received on 12/21/2012."

If its true, i read somewhere that those checks can account for the purchase of multiple weapons. And CCW's don't need to have a check. So it's possible those numbers may be higher.

The majority of firearms were purchased by whites.......and the main reason given was...Ferguson.

"..and the main reason given was...Ferguson."-sillydaddy

^^^^More made up stupid shit. :lol:

Clown....I didn't think you were going to believe that, although that is what one gun shop owner said..

actually this article said the real reason for gun purchases was.....Obama.

It was nice of you to provide a profile of your typical panic buyer in your article, sillydaddy. :lol:

"You’re a scared white person, almost certainly male. You do not live in a major city, or near a university or intellectual hub of any note, nor have you ever traveled very far from your home town, much less out of state or anywhere further than, say, Mexico. Once. And that was enough.

You do not read complicated books. You do not like new or weird things. You watch lots of TV, mostly Fox News, which rejoices in showing you endless images of angry foreigners and minorities in pain: tear gas explosions, fights in the streets, looting, this time involving sad, small-town black people in Ferguson, all of them protesting the acquittal of that murderous white cop.

While some part of you heard that the vast majority of protests were, of course, peaceful, and the injustice was, of course, heinous, that’s not what you see. You see only the nervous (and white, and male, like you) Missouri governor, Jay Nixon, do something really weird: declare a state of emergency – not because of a hurricane, or a flood. But because of… an imminent jury verdict.

Whoa! Even the possibility of black people protesting a brutal injustice is, you quickly surmise, worse than a deadly act of God. Who needs a tornado? Underserved minorities are despondent! Better get the tanks ready.
Which is more dangerous: a paranoid, under-educated, middle-aged white guy with a gun, or an unarmed black teen?

Which is more dangerous: a paranoid, under-educated, middle-aged white guy with a gun, or an unarmed black teen?

And so you think, “Well, now I have two reasons to buy a new gun: scary black people protesting within 200 miles of my home, and a dangerously out-of-control police force who might someday storm my house and confiscate my illegal taxidermy collection.” Ah, the perfect collusion.

Wait, make that three reasons: Toss in a Black Friday mega-sale at the local Gun Barn (30% off the AR-15, AKA “America’s gun,” the same semi-automatic rifle used in lots of massacres, and that killed a couple kids in Oregon just last year) and it’s off to the exhausted feds with your application.

We know guns do not make you safer. They do not prevent crime. They do not protect families. The NRA cannot trot out a single stat that proves guns improve society in any conceivable or measurable way; in fact, it’s just the opposite. Every piece of data we have proves guns are spiritual, moral and social poison."

^^^^^This is all from the source of your "Ferguson" excuse for buying guns.

You didn't bother to read it, did you? :lol:
Or are you going to say that the only true thing in the article is the part you want to be true?

"Ferguson" :lol: Honestly....

Clown, It's not my article.......hate the message...that's fine.

But don't shoot the messenger.

Clown...what did you think about the sentence:

The scary black president! He’s part of the problem, no? He’s one of them, the real reason so many people bought a gun this holiday.

No made up shit, Clown. Right?

Clownslacker believes a university town is an "intellectual hub"?

Yeah, socialist professors, drunken frat boys, and basketball players scoring drugs.
