    Maybe. I haven’t poured over your history and will give you the benefit of the doubt. If you’re for bringing sanity to a hyper emotional issue I applaud you. Even more so as someone inside an industry that has seemingly been institutionally organized against that. My comment was narrowly in response to your comment on waiting periods - and apparent aversion thereto. 
     

    But the last thing I want is for my observation about the gun industry to be true. I wish it wasn’t a bunch of 2A absolutists (including state and federally elected officials) using assault weapons as props in Christmas cards and whose only solution to gun violence is more guns. I really wish that wasn’t the case. But the proof points are few and far between

    I know. My nephew went to get a pack of cigs last week and he had to fill out a 4474 and he is on a two week wait. He should be able to pick them up the second week of April.

     

    I sell [product name], let me share my opinions on regulating the sale of [product name]. 
     

    Rinse and repeat.

    Also I’ve never understood the “I need a gun and I need it fucking now” logic. Do you rise up against blue laws that close liquor stores on Sunday’s because you can’t plan a day ahead? Honestly if you can’t think a few days ahead maybe you shouldn’t be trusted with a deadly weapon. 

  4. I’m no expert here. Just seems it’s pretty easy to get around common sense precautions in the purchasing process.  Quick search and I see a 4473 not 4474.  So are talking about the “lie and try” form and potential gun show exceptions?  Just send him to the tobacco convention and he can bypass the inconvenience.

    Can we stop with the popularity equals merit bullshit. Hootie has a top 10 all time sales album. The Force Awakens is #5 all time box office gross. The fact that (a likely overstated) number of simpletons passionately show up at rallies is about as compelling as New Kids on the Block poster sales in the late 80s

  6. No. And I’ll happily sign on to laws that make it harder for others to have unfettered access too. I’m tired of watching news about school shootings or other mass shootings because we make guns easier to buy than cigarettes.  I wish the proponents of gun rights did more police their own. By analogy they’re like weed should be legal so let’s open it up to crack and meth as well.
