DENVER (CBS4) – The day after the shooting in Connecticut a lot of people in Colorado tried to buy a gun.
The Colorado Bureau of Investigation says it received 4,154 requests for background checks from potential buyers on Saturday. That was so many the CBI couldn’t process them all and the backlog grew to nearly 18 hours. The Unit could only process 3,001 checks on Saturday.
Extra staff was brought in over the weekend and workers are still trying to clear the backlog.
“CBI’s InstaCheck employees are dedicated professionals who take tremendous pride in providing exceptional customer service while balancing the critical public safety role they perform in the background check process,†CBI Director Ronald Sloan said in a statement. “The team routinely works well past operating hours of the unit to reduce numbers in the queue and subsequent wait times. I’m extremely proud of their efforts this weekend, and throughout the year.â€
The record for background checks processed in one day is still from Black Friday of this year as 4,028 background checks were processed for firearms purchases.
According to Susan Medina with the CBI, the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) is experiencing similar volume to CBI’s InstaCheck numbers.
Citizens are asked to remain patient as CBI’s InstaCheck Unit works to process the background checks.

Did not take a rocket scientist to figure out this was going to happen. And that dufus in the White House is really going to make things worse as I always have said he would. By the time he leaves office this country is going to be in shambles!
Re: Gun Sales Soar!
I remember when Obama was first elected there was a big time ammo shortage, people hoarding it up over rumors about what Obama was going to do, and it was all for nothing, but this time might be different I'm afraid.

This could be the fuel that begins the fire that destroys the world.
The world has been shying away from aggressive behavior since Fascism was destroyed in the 1940s.
It won't be Fascism, but individual rights is about to go bye-bye in this country.

Ask a black man in Mississippi if his individual rights are greater or less than they were in 1940.

Since Obama came out in favor of gay marriage, a majority of African Americans have supported it in polling. So statistically, yes, there is a strong possibility he would support gay marriage.
As for abortion, no man should tell a woman what to do with her own body. So his say on that doesn't matter too much to me.

Concerning abortion, I guess it is ok for a woman to murder her unborn child and get away with it???

Re: Gun Sales Soar!
One of the biggest reasons that we have legal abortion and the left powerbrokers are such large supporters is because it helps kill off black people.NYBuckeye96 wrote:Kentucky Trojan wrote:...instead ask a black man in Mississippi if abortion and same-sex marriage are acceptable in our society...NYBuckeye96 wrote:Ask a black man in Mississippi if his individual rights are greater or less than they were in 1940.

Sad! (if you know what you're talking about) that black people would follow the man Obama and turn their backs on what they know is right...
