(BREITBART) — A record number of gun-buyers flooded into retail stores on Black Friday, according to federal data, which showed that background checks surged to an unprecedented 185,345.
The previous Black Friday record, set last year, was just over 175,000 background checks. The previous single-day record, set December 21, 2012, was approximately 177,000.
FBI spokesman Stephen Fischer said “Black Friday [2015] shattered the single-day record with 185,345 background checks processed in a 24-hour period — or slightly more than two background-checks every second,” according to The Trace, a group of journalists who tend to favor gun-control.
That makes Black Friday 2015 the highest single day for background checks ever.
