(Worthy News) – Background checks on gun purchases in the U.S. are climbing toward a record high this year, reflecting what the industry says is a rush by people to buy weapons in reaction to the Democratic presidential candidates’ calls for tighter restrictions.

On Black Friday alone, the FBI ran 202,465 checks. [ Source: VOA News (Read More…) ]
