Wouldn't that be the same as saying Bass Pro Shop is also guilty if someone shoots someone using a Gun they just Bought from them the day before?
Not a all!
Now, perhaps if they chose to sell "Saturday-Night-Specials" for multitudes of their true market value, say 'on line' ('FREE' freight to L.A. or Chicago!
), with the illusion, but not the statement, that they are going to fail to process, or just loose the paperwork (ATF Form 4473), making the weapon untraceable,..............well, who do you think they would be attempting to do business with?
It's not just the act of having sold the product that may at some point in the unforeseen future be involved in an illegal act, but rather the perceived intent of the practice in the act, and the fact of the change this may have in the business relationship and with whom. This does prove to be somewhat of a difficult subject to define, but 'REASONABLE' interpretation is what is required, this from an educated, moral and just society, which we may be suffering from the loss of at this point.
I think, and I'm willing to bet as do many others, that the only reason someone is willing to pay something far greater than the normally anticipated value for, and that for what purpose the seller has placed the auction reserve of, is not the "scrap", but rather the added value of the............ paper-work,............ which this value is capitalized upon by doing what illegal act?!
Scott.
