A buddy and me were sitting around our local gun shop today, and noticed a strange trend.
This shop does high volume sales with an average on Friday & Saturday of 5 to 10 sales an hour. The prices are cheaper than Bud's Guns, and everyone seems to flock to it on the weekends.
After about 30 minutes he brought up the fact that the 4th person had been 'Delayed' at NICS in a little over an hour. That got me curious, so I asked the owner how many had been delayed in the past 2 days.
He didn't say anything, but held up a stack of 30 or more 4473 forms that were on 'Hold' due to a delay at NICS.
He said that there wasn't any rhyme or reason that he could figure out. However, he did notice that regular guys that buy often from him were getting put on 'Delay' who had NEVER been delayed as long as he had known them.
What's the deal? Is this something that we should be worried about? My buddy, who is a conspiracy nut, said it's 'Obama's Gun Control'.
Delay enough people, and that slows down the sale of guns. Then, 1/3 of those people get frustrated with the '3 day rule' and either change their mind, or spend their money on something other than guns.
What are your thoughts?
