Bloomberg:
With Hopkins's approval, I spend three days observing from behind the counter at Westside Armory, on the condition I won't risk driving away customers by interrupting to ask to quote them by name. On the floor, I listen to the sales patter and consumer comments. I observe diligence, for the most part, about following the rules. And yet I also witness some troubling slip-ups, including one that leads to a visit to the store by two agents from the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. "We're not perfect," Hopkins says.
Yea, that's right. A Bloomberg hack was allowed in the building to write his propaganda. One thing that struck me was the nexus of memes.

I’ve known no more than 2 gun dealers who did NOT hold the same position. Anytime they can get in the middle of a gun transfer, it’s a profitable service and they will support, almost without exception, private sale checks. The profit on new guns is little to nothing. All the money is made on used guns and services. Most of them are not your friend and they aren’t there to support the second Amendment. They are in business. Now, I don’t see anything at all wrong with that, but we need to stop including them as friends of the 2A... most of them are not.
As in the blog article... the FFL dealer, who leans mostly to the hunting trade business, has no clue where the reality of ownership and 2nd Amendment (rejects it). The NRA and the NSSF organizations being dragged kicking and screaming into the reality that it is the Progressive libs trying to remove a RIGHT, beyond “for hunting— I’m OK” BS the libs and elites foist over on people.
Quote in the article: “Like many FFL holders, Hopkins (the store owner) would have no objection to universal background checks for all gun transactions.
Anyone in the business who’s not leading in the fight against universal registration, especially now in the time of great need, and actually telling that to a Bloomberg reporter, deserves to have his business go belly-up as far as I’m concerned. And the FFLs who look forward to it as a new business opportunity are no better than damn kapos”
FReepers— that’s “kapos” as in “sonderkommandos” as in the Jews who collaborated with the Nazis in the deathcamps, to run the extermination business, in trade for their being allowed to live... for a while. Eventually KAPOS were killed and new ones recruited to ensure.... COMPLIANCE.
Deo Vindice.
Explains the idiotic Jeb tweet photo of “his” .45 ACP engraved with his name— not quite as bad as John Kerry putting on an Southern accent and asking “kin ah get a gun license around here?” and obmamaomou “shooting them skeets” photo op lie.
‘“You Brits don’t have our traditions,†Hopkins says. “To Americans, owning a gun is a connection back to the settling of the Western frontier: cowboys and Indians and all that.‒
Thats false. The English had a long tradition of going armed (centuries long). We inherited that tradition and eventually codified it or rather enumerated it as a right. It has nothing to do with cowboys & indians or the ‘wild west’. Hopkins isnt that sharp a guy.
the antis accuse me of fear. if they could see or appreciate the contents of my gun safe they would understand, I have no fear of them.
All the guys behind the counter at the gun shop I got my most recent gun through were totally opposed to the universal background check.
Sure, they are out there, but they are the exception, not the rule.
