Your story is what this guy is really a crybaby about. He is fencing stolen property and his conscience is bugging him. It isn’t about the guns or he would be sawing off barrells and hammering the crap out of them till they aren’t usable. Yeah, go cry in the corner with the weak ones, the men will handle it.
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.
