Enough said!

There are various guidelines and laws controlling such sales, And they include federal (and maybe state) background checks..


Also, see PLCAA.

If you don't want gun dealers to sell AR15s to nonprohibited people, then you need to make the case for a law banning them. Suing them is not the answer.

And you're OP is a good example of what PLCAA is designed to prevent -- lawsuits based on emotionality and intended to put lawful gun dealers out of business.

It's (in part) the fact that the list of things that can cause a background check to come back negative is too narrow. I strongly advocate expanding the scope of disqualifying conditions to include a broader range of mental health diagnoses, things like domestic violence indictments and related court orders, etc. The signals were in place to deny this murderer his weapon purchase.* Those signals need to be in the system.

* Okay, sure: he might still have armed himself via private transfer...but at least that transfer could have been made illegal (universal background checks...), and the person making an illegal sale prosecuted.

The gun shop doesn't call up a private eye and send them off in pursuit of the customers past. They call into the nics system and the FBI let's the shop know whether or not they are authorized. A governmental agency dropped the ball, not the store.

They'd have a line three miles long of greasy creeps waiting to buy AR-15's from them.

Ok, make it less selectively, we can boycott any gun shop that sells assault weapons

This DU cares so much about corporations and bad capitalism. Why, all of sudden, are you so protective or timid with gun control??

Why, why, why??

I am originally from Japan and I cannot relate to your lack of disgust.

Just in Florida.

Well that's how you do it. The funnies from all over that state would stand in solidarity with the owner and he/she would be a cause cleb. It would be like Chik-Fla for guns.

Seems like they did everything by the book.
