The ATF once published a study that said something like 50% of the guns used by crooks to commit crimes in NYC were purchased from three or four gun stores in Georgia. They were obviously purchased legally,over the counter, in Georgia by straw purchasers, sold to third parties who transported them to other States, and then retailed them.

It appears to be quite the racket, considering that THIS guy was selling them for around four to five times what he bought them for. I suppose the GOP would like that, given that he's a successful business man? Seriously, what have you SOCIALISTS got against a guy making a buck?
