Regulated out
Denise says something oughta be done:
As Lott and Bane point out, we can no longer buy guns in Wal-Mart or other stores. I remember when a trip to Sears involved a good look at their guns. That’s a thing of the past.
Now, I’m not saying that Wal-Mart or Sears are the best places to buy guns. They’re not–Support your local gun shop and all. But we’ve lost a time when guns were common, ordinary tools to where they’ve become mythologized and demonized.
Michael Bane has more. It is hard to be in the gun business (believe me, I’ve thought about it – too much hassle). Regulations get in the way and, until recently, the threat of being financially ruined through litigation was a major concern.
