haha Arizona(my state) along with other republican states are commonly referred to in terms of "gun access". It's not difficult to see why.
ahh the Red states.

I wonder how many Granola-eating liberals that live in Vermont are really aware that their state allows open or concealed carry of handguns with no "permit" required - only the passing of a background check. I bet they'd crap granola clusters.
A guy named Kevin Baker has a great gun blog called The Smallest Minority. He's an Arizonan, and it's clear to me that AZ is a great place for shooters. -

Amen, to AZ.

I agree that the gun store owner would not let a man like that loiter, and his random presence would be reallly coincidental for real life, but I get approached to buy illegal things on the streets of NY ALL THE TIME. Drugs, bootleg DVDs, sex, stolen electronics, etc. Never a gun but I'm sure it's possible. I am a large white male and could easily be a cop, but that doesn't seem to stop anyone. Chances will always be greater than someone isn't a cop than they are, and why would a cop be trying to get a gun at a gun shop in an illegal time frame without a permit in the first place? They would have a permit, would already have a gun, would know the laws already and wouldn't be wasting their time doing that on the off chance that someone in the shop will try to illegally sell them a gun once they leave.

No I still enjoyed it, but I felt the scene was a case of just plain lazy writing As I mentioned before, it would have been both more realistic and more within the confines of her character's past if she simply got back in touch with someone she did a radio piece on and had them help her obtain the weapon.

Really? I thought it emphasised that she was on a one woman mission of retribution. It wouldn't have worked for me, if she had gone about it in a way that indicated she was totally in control of her actions.

I assumed that the gun shop owner let the Chinese guy hang around so that he could take part of the cut of the illegal gun sales.
LOL, that's probably far more sensible than the screenwriters were.
NY state is probably not as bad for guns as NYC, but it gets perverted more towards Victim Disarmament than it would be as a result of the two-ton Gorilla that is NYC and its dominance over state politics.
Says a lot that the citizens of the state itself (outside NYC) pretty much said "beep You" in the recent demand for gun registration. Mass refusal to comply, in one of the biggest single acts of civil disobedience in recent history. Connecticut, too.
