Earlier this month, Mark Kelly, the husband of Gabrielle Giffords who runs a gun control-themed political action organization, publicly tried to demonstrate how easy it is to buy a scary black gun – well, it turns out that it’s not so easy. Doug MacKinlay, owner of Diamondback Police Supply, the store where Kelly tried to make the purchase, has cancelled the sale, according to the Arizona Daily Star<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI determined that it was in my company\u2019s best interest to terminate this transaction prior to his returning to my store to complete the Federal Form 4473 and NICS (National Instant Criminal Background Check System) required of Mr. Kelly before he could take possession of this firearm,\u201d MacKinlay said in the statement.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Kelly said at the time that it was “scary” to think that it is so easy to purchase without a background check, but as this episode illustrates, the seller can control the sale and ineligible buyers are prevented at the point of sale from walking away with a gun they don’t have the credentials to own. <\/p>\n

Of course, Kelly didn’t get to walk out of the store with gun because MacKinlay had bought the gun from a seller off the street and had to hold it for twenty days so law enforcement could determine whether it had been used in a crime or not. So Kelly’s point was pretty blunt anyway.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
