(In fact, the store I shop at regularly would not have been counted in that list).
Was a similar limit put on the gun dealers? Or did that number also include all of the independent, individual people who own “dealer” licenses because they have a small business or do repair work?
Instead of twisting statistics to paint a particular picture, why not showcase the real problem in a way that allows people across political boundaries to all work together to find a solution? This type of reporting merely polarizes people, to the detriment of those who need help.
