5. One thing to note

Gun manufacturers dont sell guns to gun stores. Distributors do. Maybe the distributor knows that a certain area is buying a lot of guns, but that doesn't mean they are bought for illegal purposes.

Plus unless they get data from every distributor out there, they really dont even know if their sales in that area are higher. And even if it is higher is that illegal? What if that are just buys more guns? Should we then refuse to sell all guns?

If budweiser is drank in the most DUIs do we sue budweiser as well?
