behind the person in that shop COULDN'T have been a 'thug' as the background check when she got the 'permit to purchase' would have told the police all about him, wouldn't it?

now, she spent the time, all by herself, to sit in the 'cop shop' and fill out the permit to purchase. she had every opportunity to tell the nice officer there and then that 'some thug wants me to buy a gun for him, and i'm scared.'.

i'm sure that if the 'thug' really WAS a 'thug', then he is allergic to 'cop shops'.

then, at the gun shop, she could have told the nice guy behind the counter that the 'thug' was bothering her, and i'm sure the nice guy could have found some way to 'convince' him to stop.

now, if all this effort to stop what obviously ISN'T a big deal is being expended, why not put that effort into STOPPING CRIMINALS FROM STEALING GUNS. let's say... keeping them locked up, without benefit of pardon or parole, another ten or twenty years if they use a gun in a crime?

that should get their attention, shouldn't it?
