Our transaction took nearly an hour because we chatted.
Mike used to read newspapers but doesnt anymore because of opinion writers like me. He knew whether it was legal to bring the gun to Chicago its not. He was friendly, candid, so I asked difficult questions. Did he ever feel guilty about the people killed by the guns he sells? No, he said, thats like asking a car dealer if he felt guilty if someone gets drunk and kills somebody in a car he sold. It seemed a fair answer. I asked him if I could quote him in the newspaper, and he said no, I couldnt, so Im not quoting him. These fricking people are full of more lying, colluding, conniving and contrived shit than a Christmas Turkey.
