Black Friday gun sales with background checks a record

Black Friday broke the one-day U.S. record for the number of gun purchase with background checks: 185,000 citizens had background checks done!

In my opinion, this a sign that Americans feel a high degree of insecurity in the current lame pathetic White House leadership that we have. Americans can and should prepare for their own protection.

In my opinion, our gutless president wants to expose us to harm by sneaking in every unchecked terrorist he can. Since our current POTUS in so many ways does not seem to want to protect "We the people," does it not make perfect sense then that we can defend ourselves, that the government should actually issue a gun and ammo to every legal citizen who can pass a background check?

The Pilgrims and our forefathers defended themselves and gave us the same opportunity.
