Black Friday was a big day for gun sales.

Gun sellers did brisk business on the biggest shopping day of the year, providing a respite from a year-long slump.

Black Friday was the biggest day on record for FBI background checks, which loosely track nationwide gun sales. The FBI reported 203,000 background checks for gun sales on Friday.

Black Friday is typically the biggest day of the year for gun purchases and therefore background checks, fueled by holiday shopping and the fall hunting season.

CNN reports, gun sales have slumped since the presidential election.
