    The FBI processed 185,345 gun background checks on Black Friday, setting a new record. The 2015 number was about 5 percent higher than the number performed on Black Friday in 2014. The checks are required for permits and purchases from federally licensed dealers. On the same day, three people were murdered by a gunman at a Planned Parenthood office in Colorado.
