  1. Tommy Carmichael Michael balsamo Dennis no harsh and fake casino chips………………………………..

  2. This guy is a clown that is looking for attention. I'd bet money his business was failing and that's the real reason why he is closing it. This is like closing down a liquor store or car dealership to combat drunk driving. Attention seeking idiocy at its finest.

  3. wow! so many bots in this comment section saying the same thing a slightly different way. the question is are they employed by nbc or the government.

  4. Fun fact, every community bout large numbers of guns during the pandemic & riots. Thhe thing is child deaths from Hispanics have remained flat, as have white child deaths. The child deaths that have exploaded are intirly black, & those "children " are mostly between the ages of 14 & 18. The reason only black deaths went up was because the black community did the defund the police stuff in their neighborhoods & now the gangs have taken over. That's why it's mostly teenagers dying. Mass shootings haven't gone up. Their counting gang members shooting each other as "mass shootings ". The media uses statistics from a hoax web sight called gun violence archives which stated that there were over 200 mass shootings in 2019 when the FBI says their was 30

  5. people will still get shot btw

  6. Weak and pathetic!!! Same as a car dealership saying " we aren't going to sell cars anymore because people get hurt and killed everyday by these nasty machines" take some responsibility and also realize that if someone wants to cause harm to someone, it doesn't matter if it's a rock,hammer, car, gun, or any other object. It's the person that makes it happen.

  7. Virtue signaling. He profitted off the panic buying but now he's reconsidering? Maybe he should buy those guns and ammo back if feels so bad.

  8. I don't sell writing utensils, because they might spell bad wards. Thanks, Google, Android and Apple! for S***ing out the bad words so you can't see them. making it less likely to be offensive.

  9. God bless this man.
    Provide for him, and his family in all ways.

  10. Hey…I'll buy your shop…😃

  11. id rather have the accessibility to a gun and not need it then to need one and not have it. just saying

  12. Doesn't he understand that people are using ghost guns? Plus, if they don't get guns from him, they'll get them someplace else, mainly from the street.

  13. this is completely fake. the weapon he is referring to IS NOT belt fed weapon. and its chamber would likely not handle armor piercing rounds.
    so i just googled how long "georgia ballistics" has been in business. since 2021. total glowie operation.

  14. What are you going to do when millions of Chinese invade and no army left to fight them?
    You do as the corrupt government says and you will die from Chinese bullets.
    Yes its sad when people are killed needlessly but there are uses for these arms.

  15. Closing his store will have zero impact on crime.

  16. Why would you OPEN a gun store in the FIRST PLACE, then? Sounds like he just wasn't turning a profit… I call B.S. on his story, because it's not like no children were killed BEFORE he opened the store in 2021!

  17. Good, decent, conscientious Americans like this man will have to step up to resolve a problem no politician is willing to face.

  18. He has his rights, don't mess with others rights.

  19. When I was growing up people had a revolver to protect their home and property. Because there's s*** like this gun he's showing out there I'm moving to Russia citizens don't need guns. They're content they're happy their government is consistent it's not like a tennis match enact laws removed laws and Act laws removed laws they know what to expect they build their lives step by step and their Pleasant complete Christian Society. America is totally ruined

  20. Now if we could just get people to stop selling trucks and gas cans. Because:

    "On the evening of 14 July 2016, a 19-tonne cargo truck was deliberately driven into crowds of people celebrating Bastille Day on the Promenade des Anglais in Nice, France, resulting in the deaths of 86 people and the injury of 434 others."

    AND

    "The Kyoto Animation arson attack occurred at Kyoto Animation's Studio 1 building in the Fushimi ward of Kyoto, Kyoto Prefecture, Japan, on the morning of 18 July 2019. The arson killed thirty-six (36) people, injured an additional thirty-four (34) (including the suspect), and destroyed most of the materials and computers in Studio 1. It is one of the deadliest massacres in Japan since the end of World War II… "

  21. 00:45 what kind of gun is that?

  22. If the government can have these guns, the people should be able to have the same. The People are the boss not the other way around. Why in heck would you allow a government to have them if the citizens cannot, when government runs a muck and constantly violates rights and laws ruining life after life. No matter what you do criminal murderers will not follow law. Write them until your head falls of criminals do not care period. That should not affect the lawful citizen.

  23. There's a good man!! Hats off to you, brother!!!

  24. Years from now, college campuses will be arguing the taking down of Anthony Cumia statues. What 🏀🏀🏀🏀!!!

  25. There are more gun stores in America than Mcdonalds'.

  26. lol I see the meadi is pushing an agenda again.
