    Tempting at times, but its management and sales that need to watch out.

    I kinda sit on the fence on the background check thing. Lets face it, there are people that should not be allowed to own a gun and in this age of modern technology it would not be difficult at all to do instant background check on anyone purchasing a gun - even at a gun show. Call in to an 800 number and punch in the driver's license number - the computer can do the rest in about 3 seconds.

    Of course they can get a gun anyway but we shouldn't just give them one, and the fact that they didn't get it legally can be used to keep them locked away from the public for a few more years. (if we can get rid of the wussy judges)

        Thank You, that is the way I really feel. If it is a law, then enforce it. Nobody forced any gun seller, with "heavy handed tactics" to sell anything. They got stone cold busted!

            Totally agree.
