And the people who have bought from me welcome the bill of sale, and the copy I give them.
But back to Costas and his gun culture, sure there is a gun culture and it seems to be even more present in professional athletics. But I wouldn't prevent them from buying guns if they were legally able to do it.
Do you do a background check and require a FFL?
I don't sell to people I know can't legally own guns. Turned down a couple coworkers numerous times. And when I sell guns at a gun show, I sell only to other FFL's.

Sure....except the part about often selling guns to those without an FFL, averages less than one a year. Sold three guns last year, 2 were on consignment at a gunshop and went through full background checks. And an AR-15 was sold to a fomer Marine and outstanding family man.

Yes, I've heard of some of those "former Marines" and "outstanding family men" that used their AR-15's to massacre their families and then either commit suicide, or set it up to do a "suicide by cop."
So, you have it in stone-tablets somewhere that this "outstanding family-man"/"former marine" will NEVER flip out and use the weapon to harm anyone or anything...
Funny, I don't remember saying anything about Bush... What I said was, "Yes, I've heard of some of those "former Marines" and "outstanding family men" that used their AR-15's to massacre their families and then either commit suicide, or set it up to do a "suicide by cop.""
So, your b.s. about "outstanding family man" has about as much relevance as "Christine O'Donnell: 'I am not a witch.'"
That's why Costas called it a "culture of guns".... And he was right.
