“It seemed like you were saying the guy behind the counter could delay the gun purchase by looking up someone’s info on a laptop.”
If it’s his store, it should be his decision.
Not if he is sexist or racist or denying someone their 2nd Amendment rights on a false pretense.
How would you like being denied a gun purchase if you lived in a small town with one gun shop hours away from a big city and really needed a firearm for protection?
