Richmond Times Dispatch:

 Sales record: Virginia gun sales set a new high for
Black Friday as the number of firearms sold statewide continues to soar
and is just days away from setting an annual record.
Gun transactions in Virginia totaled 3,902 on Black Friday, a 1.2
percent increase over the previous record of 3,856 transactions on the
same day in 2012, according to the latest Virginia State Police figures
of mandatory criminal-background checks of gun buyers.

What is causing this rush to buy a gun?  Is there something happening I don’t know about?

Everyone needs to help break Virginia’s record.  Go out and buy a gun. Make sure you get a trigger lock while you are at it., especially if you have children in the home.
