Then clerk tells him they are not selling him the rifle because he was looking at his phone (our text thread) during the process. They suspected a straw purchase. Denied.
Wow, that is some BS

While I understand the attitude of "f'em" and let them sweat...I'd much rather those new to firearm ownership receive proper safety and handling instructions and how to shoot...whether for defense or target shooting. There's no need for newbies...whatever their political affiliation and motivation to own a gun...to be unsafe and potentially cause a tragedy within their own homes or elsewhere. Some may find it's not for them...some may find it's an enjoyable pastime and discipline...and hopefully realize that the rest of legitimate gun owners are not the slack-jawed inbreds and nuts they've always been told we are.
This might be a good occasion to teach and convert. I see no point in rejecting potential allies.
There's a flip side.
There's no need to teach your enemy how to kill you either.
And make no mistake sir. These bastards are enemies.
He goes to Walmart on Monday to purchase. There was a line at the sporting goods counter like everywhere now. He went through the paperwork and background check.

I helped a buddy decide on a gun for him and his wife. He’s liberal but very middle of the road, could vote either way in any election.
Take this as a good opportunity to actually try to put on your smiley face and change some hearts and minds.
I realize that there is temptation to stick it to people, but this is not a useful instinct long term. Its counterproductive.
Take the opportunity to walk them through the paperwork, help them as much as possible, then help them get an MSI membership. Help them understand that Moms are only Demanding more counterproductive paperwork that criminals are not following. A lot of people I know have turned into full blown preppers at this point. Take full advantage to persuade people and resist your normal instincts.

This!
Take this opportunity to show gun haters how wrong they are about "how easy it is to get guns"
Use it as a way to get them interested in shooting
Take them to the range (as soon as ammo is affordable) and get them to enjoy it
Turn their hearts and minds

However in private....it's okay to enjoy the eff out of how confused these people are and how much they are doubting their tightly held dogma
Nobody who has waited until this point to suddenly decide they need a gun, has any business getting one.
There are far too many morons and clowns out there who, without someone to teach them properly, will
most likely injure or shoot themselves, or a loved one.
After this is over there may well be a lot of guns being sold cheap by the Liberals in a panic right now.
I am hearing the same assholes that vote for gun grabbing idiots, don't like the hoops they are having to jump through now during a crisis, when they want to purchase a gun for home defense...
Oh the irony...
That makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.

Potential allies? Really?
These are the same assholes who are actively attempting to legislate your way of life out of existence, using force of law, in favor of their utopian fantasy. And now that they've encountered the honeybadger of the viral world, they're all "OMG I have to protect my fams!"
Fvck them, and the unicorn they rode in on.

And if they could get their guns and still take ours from us, that'd be OK by them.
I guess the Virus has finally closed the “Gun Show Loophole”
