Denied a Gun Purchase

I'm sure he's a good guy, his statement came off sounding wrong to me... He didn't say anything about skin color, but he did say he is "Scandinavian"... which does infer...

Also the other comment regarding coming here for decades by the millions... surely you're joking right? Cause, if my US History class from Middle school serves my memory correct, the people native to this country weren't from Europe, and I believe early on, Europeans came here en masse without an invitation by the people native to this continent...

Anyways, just pointing out something I thought to be interesting or ironic... But I knew by posting my response it wasn't going to be popular... oh well, I know where this going...

As a European LEGAL immigrant and a US CITIZEN, I feel I should point out two things:

There are no natives:
If my history studies serve me correct, the first humans on this continent came across the Bering Strait, from Asia.
You see, as a lot of people like to point out, we are ALL immigrants, including the so-called natives.
I guess the poor buffaloes could bring the same argument: "We were here first, then this weird people on two legs came out of nowhere, UNINVITED, and started killing us by the millions".
So, the "natives" were invaded by a population that was technologically more advanced, with less "rules of engagement" , and since they were unable to unite against a common enemy until it was too late, they lost the war and their land and got slaughtered.
Guess what, it happened to every population on Earth at some time of another, get over it.

Like it or not we live in a European modeled Country:
I am assuming we all love the way the USA turned out (or at least until recently).
Guess what, it was modeled by Europeans, after ideals of Democracy that were originally postulated in Europe.
Had it stayed the way the Natives had it, we would still be chasing Buffaloes in the plains trying to put a meal on the table (did nobody realized that fencing in a Buffalo and a few females would result in more Buffaloes? No more chasing them around, they are right there in the backyard?).
So, next time you see one, hug a European!

Agreed, and depending on your choice of how we as the human species came to be, one could say we originated from the Middle East (just one version) or we evolved from some African species...

So basically, you were in a shop run by someone who has not learned the regs for an FFL.

This seems to be the case.

Im sorry The Belly, I wouldnt sell to you either. Officer are not to be trusted, I dont know if its the commission, the college degree or the shifty little eyes. But Military Officers are a sneaky lot. You can tell, just by looking at them. Im sure this guy had alot of experience with Army Officers and thats why you were denied.

Whoa whoa whoa! Lots of distrust for officers eh?

No idea where you are trying to go with this...
