Don't believe for one minute that they won't be selling these again as soon as the heat dies down. This may also be a CYA thing. Where did mama purchase these guns she had?

Whatever the motivation, their response should be encouraged. I truly believe that those of us wanting action on this issue are the "silent majority" and we need to make our position known at every opportunity.

that seems like a small one, but multiplied many times can be a significant response to the gun lobby. I'm done with silently accepting the prevailing attitude that nothing can be done to change the culture of gun violence in our communities.
