It seems that even the sellers of guns are having a change of heart about that business..........

"Frank James, owner of Loanstar Jewelry and Pawn, said that as he watched the news of the Newtown shootings, “I basically broke into tears and looked up on the wall, seeing the types of firearms I am selling,” and decided that he could no longer continue to sell the kinds of weapons that were used to kill first-graders."

It's great to be where we have the choices. I'd rather him decide then the US Govt take away his right.

Exactly!

This store owner followed his right NOT to sell guns anymore for reasons that were important to him.

A point often lost in all the hysteria about gun rights.

Absolutely he does....but so does anyone else.

Frankly, because of the idiocy of the general non-shooting public, there'll likely be others. Then again, 5 NEW gun shops have opened in our little town in the past few months - so there'll be plenty more to take his place, I'm sure!

Wonder what he did with his inventory. I'm guessing he sold it.

If he wants to get out of the business, fine. There are others that buyers can go to.

I wonder if he will be a tightwad with his money as well and not pay his Taxes.

Because we all know how taxes are the ingredient that supports Obama's Drone Murders on innocent civilians in the Middle East. Obama has committed more Murders with Drones this year than all the mass shootings combined. I wonder if that Pawn shop owner has tears about that when he looks at his daughter?

I suspect this pawn shop owner is one of the few people that had a change of heart as far as their business goes. I doubt that politicians will ever get to doing something about what is really behind these mass killings. They want to blame it on guns, as do other people that have their head in the sand. What will be banned after guns, golf clubs, baseball bats, knives, cars, ball point pens, and the list goes on.

You know darn well he doesn't. Those people have effectively been declared to be less than human and killing them The government has worked very hard to make Americans feel this way. Josef Stalin once said that one death was a tragedy but a million a statistic. Sadly, he was right.

Former president Herbert Hoover stated that had the US lost the war the people resposible for using nuclear weapons on Hiroshima and Nagasaki would have been tries as war criminals. They don't make presidents like Hoover anymore.

This country has gone into the business of killing innocent civilians. It stinks.
