Fort Lauderdale gun shop owners statement to the local press.
" Chris Lapella, who owns Orlando-based Diavolo Arms, said he background checks every customer but feels the checks aren’t enough.“I personally think these things are under-regulated. These are extremely deadly weapons,” he said. “They make you take a test to drive a vehicle, but there’s no test for people to buy a gun or shoot a gun.”Lapella said that in many counties, the so-called “gun show loophole” permitting private sales without background checks doesn’t exist because local ordinances, like Broward’s, require background checks and a waiting period.But that doesn’t stop people from selling guns, or trying to buy them, illegally in their homes or in the parking lot outside gun shows.
Some of Lapella’s would-be customers who failed background checks had offered him “wads of cash big enough to choke a horse” to buy a gun without one, he said.Most customers are responsible and law-abiding people, said Lapella, but he says he’s ripped up background check forms from potential buyers who made him suspicious, including one who mumbled something about wanting to kill his wife."
Yet this idiot never called the police on any of them? He should be shutdown.
