 This isn't minority report. You don't get to try to predict who is going to cause a crime. Quote, the intent of the gun merchant code is to spot suspicious patterns. Like a person with little history of gun purchases who suddenly spends large amounts on multiple gun stores in a short period of time. Okay, hold on a second. What if that's an up and coming gun nut? How do you differentiate that from the criminal? Buying a bunch of guns after not buying a bunch of guns isn't a crime.
