- In this Intelligence Report: Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, is traditionally one of the biggest shopping days of the year, but this year Illinois residents weren't just looking for deals on TVs and toys.
On Black Friday, guns appear to have been popular gift purchases. According to Illinois State Police records, there was a giant jump in gun owner background checks on Black Friday. And, if all those gift guns are used on Christmas, it may be anything but a silent night.
What an asinine comment to make. Everyone knows the ranges are closed on Christmas.
