11. 95% of gun dealers do the right thing when something doesn't feel right about a sale.

That's a pretty damn good ratio doncha think? They pay attention to behavior, body language and circumstances. They train employees to do the same. They refuse sales just on gut feel. They do the right thing.

However a few don't care either because they feel so fervently that guns are the solution to everything and shouldn't be denied to anyone or because they want to make another sale and damn the cost to society.

Gun manufacturers are in a unique position to look at their distribution system and make a difference in gun violence by simply doing the right thing.

Your hard line stance regarding the application of market solutions to gun violence aligns you perfectly with that 5% of gun dealers.

No sales outlet is required by law to sell anything to anyone. They all have the option to do the right thing.
