Reply #187: I can't even make sense of this.

"Gun makers had to know which dealers were selling far too many weapons for the local market, yet they kept supplying them."

Is there some fixed number of guns that should be sold per geographic location? How does one determine this number?

As far as I know, when your distributer places an order, you fill it (if you want to stay in business and make a profit). You don't say "Well, they've sold too many guns this month, I will refuse their order". Insanity.

I am a legal resident of Vermont, stationed on Arizona, and occasionaly buy guns in Utah on visits to family. Who's sales am I throwing out of whack, and how should the firearm manufacturing industry respond?

At this point I think you are grasping at straws.
