Taken from the article;
"In one instance, a sales clerk told an investigator that “it’s the nature of the beast” but that he couldn’t provide a receipt because the magazines held “more than ten rounds.” The sales clerk then crumpled up the sales receipt that was automatically generated from the cash register and threw it in the garbage."
Another statement said the owner sold a 30-round magazine to an investigator and then crumpled up the receipt, so the owner knows perfectly and is intentionally disobeying the law.
In my opinion, they need to shut the business down and take away his business license for a period of time, (5 years would be a good start), because he has no business integrity and who knows what else he is selling illegally?
I know liberals are good at this, but where do we draw the line as to which laws we enforce and which laws do we ignore? Liberals only enforce the law if it benefits them. Other than that, they believe they are above the law.
Just my opinion though, but the proof is in the puddin'.

CPO David R. D. I get that part. I heard the owner on a radio talk show yesterday and he didn't explain himself very well. But he said he's prepared for whats coming.

CPO David R. D. - I'm in the camp that supports enforcement. Laws are useless unless they are enforced. The only thing that prevents anarchy, imo, is rule of law which is what the Republic part of our government is about when laws are actually enforced.
We are empowered to democratically decide by collective votes what laws work for our state, nation, city, county. When laws are arbitrarily enforced selectively, or not at all then we have a huge problem. Lack of enforcement seems to be an increasing problem nearly universally . . .
Our choice is to change the laws not stop enforcing them.
(That not enough of us are participatory citizens advising our folks in government - Federal and State, and our City Council, County Commissioners, of how we want them to vote on issues, and that nepotism and/or lobbies have more power when we don't, is a problem and a different topic though totally related.)

SGT Mary G. - Completely agree. Your comment rings true, and I specifically appreciate your comment, "Our choice is to change the laws, not stop enforcing them." AMEN!
My dad is a retired Navy Chief (22yrs) and a retired Police Officer (20yrs). When he shares stories with me, I realize, he was a HARD CORE cop. Seldom gave anyone a break, because he believed he was employed and served to enforce the established laws of the county he served. I believe, he felt like if he let people get away with something, then he was letting the law abiding citizens and his boss, the Sheriff, down.

CPO David R. D. - Thank you!
On the other end you mention, are those doing the actual enforcing.
Who can ever know how much autonomy officers are given by whomever they answer to, to choose to enforce or warn in circumstances that might allow a choice? When it is violating damaging crime it is scary to imagine police giving the culprits a break.
