That is absolutely ignorant. Let me ask you, who knows you better, your neighbor or the guy who sold you your car?
The people who come out of the woodwork saying that they knew he was crazy should have said something sooner. Or they were just trying to get on camera. The gun seller doesn't spend more than an hour with the person buying the gun. You want them to give you a psychiatric profile based on what the customer says at the counter? That is stupid.
As far as the 75% goes, most buy their guns on the street. Those who make straw purchases should be prosecuted, not the gun seller who follows the rules. Plus, many of the guns on the street are either stolen or are smuggled in. Neither of those will be stopped by your great ideas.
I think you miss my point. WHen I throw a gun seller in prison because his gun was used to slaughter a bunch of school kids, I could REALLY CARE LESS if he had an inkling or not.
I'm making an example out of him for the sake of making an example out of him.
So the NEXT guy who sees the guy in the Joker Costume come into his store, he won't sell to that guy. He'll take the extra time to do the background check. He'll maybe call down to the police station and see if this guy is on anyone's radar.
