I wonder how much latitude an FFL holder has in denying a sale that would pass on the merits of passing a background check. One of my dealers once said, to the individual conducting the background check, that he never sold to anyone not born in the USA.
I wasn’t 100% serious about that, gundog, but asking reason for purchase is not an ideological question. But there are some pretty dumb people out there that might actually out themselves answering that question.
