“I can’t sell them (the weapons), because I don’t know who it’s going to affect or hurt.” Those were the words of Jon Waldman, owner of a gun store in Atlanta who decided to close his store, because he had a troubled conscience, especially after several shootings in a row. This was reported by the news portal NBC News.
Waldman, 43 years old, opened his store, Georgia Balistics, in the city of Duluth, located, worth the redundancy, in the state of Georgia in March 2021.
According to information from NBC News, Waldman’s business was not bad. In fact, he remained as robust as ever, despite the post-pandemic era.
However, two recent shootings removed Waldman’s conscience.
The first, an attack on the Nashville Christian school, which occurred on March 27 and resulted in the death of three 9-year-old children and three adults, as well as the death of the shooter at the hands of Department officers. Metropolitan Nashville Police.
The second, an attack at a hospital in Atlanta in early May.
Two drops that broke the camel’s back for Waldman, who told NBC News that his business has already closed and that he expects all weapons to be evacuated by June 15.
And Waldman isn’t exactly against the Second Amendment, which guarantees the right of Americans to keep and bear arms.
“I am not against the Second Amendment. But, out of conscience, I can’t sell them because I don’t know who it’s going to affect or hurt. That’s what eats me up. If it can happen, it’s only a matter of time before it does happen,” he told NBC News.
In fact, Waldman insisted that he is not advocating further restrictions. “I’m more of the idea of tightening up training and security than the ‘Everyone should have a gun’ kind of thing. You should have a gun, but safely,” he told NBC News.
