Wonderful Picture of your Great Grandfather Cripple.
My Great Grandfather was also born in Germany (as well has his son and his son)
But mine is slightly younger than yours, he was born in 1902.

Only 3% of the populace during the American Revolution actually got off their asses and fought against the British. You sir... are a THREE PERCENTER!

He’s an idiot.
Still it’s his store and his choice although saying, “I know this will probably put me out of business”, when he has a family to feed and support seems less than compassionate.
Maybe someone should also point out to him guns are used about 2 million times a year by private citizens to STOP crime.

I spoke with someone yesterday that lives right where this all happened... he said that even today... the media is constantly changing the story. Believe nothing until proved... this case is being used by obama and the media as a political sledge hammer and NOTHING can be taken on face value. Did the medical examiner vote for obama... are they a public service union member? See what I mean?

I wonder what is the ratio between those that sell their guns back to the government and those that have bought another gun over the last three months? Obviously, ABC uses these outlier anecdotes to distort reality.
We do really need to start compiling a database of addresses and other ID info for all Leftist journalists. The hour draws nigh.

That one was my great grandmother's father. My great grandfather had the presence of mind to recognize the significance of a man born in 1872 flying on a plane and took this photo of GGGF.
I think that might be my great grandmother (his daughter) waiting at the bottom of the steps.

I know this sounds like tin foil talk, but I would not be surprised to learn that there are subliminal messages in TV and radio broadcasts and in movies.

Go back in time an tell your great grandfather to keep his finger out of the banghole until he needs it to be in there.
Sorry, bugs me.
To: algernon_garnock
I’ll bet you a million dollars that as a leftist he mismanaged his store so that it was going to go out of business anyways. He’s trying to look like he’s going out of business on principle rather then incompetence.
To: algernon_garnock
I suspect there is more to this. Think about it, pawn store owners are like a factor lower than used car salesmen for being cutthroat and unethical. About the only thing that would ever bring a tear to their eye would be the discovery that they sold something for much less than its actual value.
In this case, I suspect that his FFL has some serious problems, and he had better get out of the gun business before that grand jury meets.

Okay, let me get this straight... He's okay fencing stolen merchandise and personal belongings to fund his customer's drug and alcohol habits - which ultimately will kill most of them and destroy their families - but guns are off limits. How the hell long did ABC have to troll for this guy? A PAWNSHOP owner? How gives a crap about that? They might as well have dug up a McDonald's worker who doesn't want to sell his guns anymore. They obviously couldn't find a gun shop owner who would do this.
To: algernon_garnock
Translation: I made so much money off the guns and ammo I sold that I can retire in comfort and don’t need to put up with all the attacks - I’m just saying I had a change of heart to get the moonbats off my back.

I agree on the NRA, if I remember correctly they were in favor of and went along with the last AWB, an have back stabbed gun owners numerous times. I would not piss down the NRA’s throat if it’s guts were on fire. I have put them in the same file as the Republicrat party
My membership money goes to GOA. http://gunowners.org/

Look, he gets great publicity from this story. Two weeks from now, he sells all the guns online at a great markup because of demand. No one ever checks to see what happened.
To: algernon_garnock
Wow! With the help of the press, there’s no stopping this guy. What’s your guess? Time Man of the Year? Nobel Peace Prize? Among gun grabbers, this is their newborn savior. Watch this guy. He’ll be everywhere soon.

So how did ABCNews find out that Frank had had a change of heart and was no longer going to sell guns? Did he call them or did they call him?

Good for him for making his own business decision. He will suffer the consequences of that decision but at least he will gp out of business through his own choice and not because the government forced him to cease firearms sales.
