The United States is a country where private individuals can legally own guns, which fully reflects the advanced nature of their democracy and freedom.

In this country, it has always been easier to buy a gun than a burger -

Because there are more gun shops than McDonald's, there are more than 50,000 licensed gun shops or sellers in the United States, including physical stores and online stores, and more than 8,000 pawn shops licensed to sell guns.

The number of McDonald's stores in the United States is only about 15,000, so you can imagine what this disparity represents.

Colonel Owen, dressed in his coat, walked into a gun shop that was filled with guns of all kinds and designed to look like a supermarket, and glanced at the many well-made, varied, and inexpensive firearms on the shelves.

"Huh? Owen, it's you...... What are you doing here? ”

The owner of the gun shop, who has a slightly horizontal development and is also plagued by the middle-aged baldness crisis, is humming an unknown rap and wiping a pistol, and when he looks up after hearing the footsteps, he is stunned.

"What's the matter, can't I come? Or are you not welcoming me? ”

Colonel Owen casually replied to the old fellow's words as he looked around at the familiar gun shop.

That's right, this gun shop is designed to be like a supermarket, so customers can buy guns and ammunition as if they were grocery shopping. I have to say, though, that Colonel Owen really likes this gun shop-

Bright lighting environment, spacious layout, walk in it surrounded by a variety of firearms, rich variety, all kinds of firearms...... He picked up a rifle and raised it in front of him to try to aim...... Of course there were no bullets, even the trigger was locked.

After all, although the gun shop is one of the powerful promoters of the frequent shootings and the indelible pain of American society, they are not stupid, they don't want similar shootings to happen in their stores at all, and they don't want some stupid guys to rush in and pick up a gun and shoot directly.

It was an absolute nightmare.

"Oh, of course not, I'm glad to see you, my friend......" The owner of the gun shop shook his head again and again, putting down what he was doing, he stared at Colonel Owen tightly, his expression with a hint of uncertainty, "It's just that I heard that you seem to have been having a little trouble lately, I mean family problems?" ”

Damn it! How everybody knows about this!

Don't you have a family of your own, why do you care so much about my affairs?

The man had a feeling of impatience, to be honest, he didn't think it was a big deal, after all, it was more than five years ago for him, and he had already seen through it and come out of the impact of this incident on himself.

But after returning to this time period, he has to bear the impact of this incident again, mainly because he feels annoyed, how can he not pay attention to the things he doesn't care about, but he pays more attention to them one by one than himself!

Please, don't you just pretend you don't know? If you really care about me so much, don't ask, what's the difference between this and revealing someone's scar!

"Okay, I don't think it's a big deal...... Please, Abel, don't worry about this, I'll take care of it myself, don't bother you. ”

Colonel Owen replied with some annoyance.

Don't think that's a big deal? The night before yesterday, I was drunk, crying in a mess, emotionally sensitive and unrestrained, and after coming out, I was stunned to talk to a garbage bin on the street, who was the person who told me about my regrets and grievances?

The owner of the gun shop, Abel, narrowed his eyes slightly, keenly feeling that something seemed to be wrong.

Shouldn't this good friend of mine be overstimulated and insane? Or is it because you are completely desperate, so you are ready to go to extremes...... Otherwise, what should he have been anxious about at this time, what is he doing in his own gun shop?

Gun shops can only buy some guns and ammunition, right? It's not an emotional counseling hotline, so I can't provide support for emotional problems, and I can't help him......

Wait a minute? Because of emotional problems and family disputes, why come to the gun shop? Buying guns and ammunition?

Inexplicably, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and somehow, Abel strangely connected these factors together, and then thought about it and deduced a terrible and bloody conclusion.

Just like the school shootings that took revenge on society, the way he looked at Colonel Owen suddenly became wrong.

Abel, the owner of the gun shop, has now discovered a big secret, his good friend Owen seems to be about to become famous, and the name Owen may soon be known to the whole United States and even the world.

- The kind with blood and tears stained on the back of the name.

"Abel, I want to buy a gun."

In the next moment, Colonel Owen, who was looking around, walked briskly to a shelf, carefully examined the goods on it, then nodded with satisfaction, and turned his head to his old friend.

Don't! I'm afraid you'll say that!

Abel's heart seemed to tremble, and he secretly complained, he was really afraid of something. He really feels that something is wrong with Owen now, look at the way it is taken for granted, look at the resolute and decisive eyes, how can he look at it and feel murderous!

After all, he has been friends for many years, and he really doesn't want to see his friend go astray, and he doesn't want to get up tomorrow morning and hear about the other party's news...... For example, the murderer broke into Las Vegas, Orlando, Virginia Tech and other places, and suddenly opened fire on the crowd, creating a situation of N dead and N injured, and the murderer has been killed.

"What's wrong? Any questions? ”

Without hearing an answer, Colonel Owen looked at his old friend Abel, and found that the other party seemed to be distracted and motionless at the counter, so he couldn't help frowning and asked again.

"Huh? No, no problem......" Abel was startled, came back to his senses and hurriedly said, "It's just that what gun do you want to buy?" ”

He didn't choose to refuse outright, because he was afraid of further irritating his friend's emotions, and now he was just suspicious, he had to try as much as possible to determine the situation before formulating a plan to deal with it.

"No specific requirements......" Immediately afterward, he noticed that his old friend looked around for a moment, and then spread his hands and said.

"No specific requirements? Don't you even know what gun you want to buy? Abel said a little depressedly, and then asked as if unintentionally, "Are you going to go hunting?" If it's hunting, then I can recommend ......"

He named several firearms in one breath and introduced their advantages, including size, rate of fire, recoil, adaptability in different environments, and so on.

"No, it's not hunting......," Colonel Owen shook his head, pondered for a moment, and then said earnestly, "I need the kind of weapon that can handle the big scene, the kind that can kill as many targets as possible." ”

That's right, since it's a battlefield, it is estimated that there should not be much chance of a one-on-one fair duel, and even if there is, there should be few such scenes.

Most of the time, he may not be able to deal with a large number of enemies, so he feels that he needs a targeted weapon...... That's right, more is good, big is beautiful, and the stronger the firepower, the more righteous it is!

However, he obviously didn't find out that because the thinking frequency of the two sides was not on the same channel from the beginning, his old friend Abel obviously thought about it.

The kind that deals with big scenes?

The kind that kills as many targets as possible?

Oh my God, is this guy really crazy? What does he want to do!?

Abel can basically be sure now, Owen seems to be really ready to go to the dark side of life, his mouth is bitter, I don't know what to do?

Or, stabilize the other party first, and then wait for the opportunity to call the police?

No, no, no, you can't do that, there's definitely a better way! After all, Owen's situation is not right now, he will definitely not accept the advice easily, and the American police have never been good at negotiating, and if they find that something is wrong, they will decisively shoot people and send them back to the West!

Owen is a friend of his own, and he has saved his son's life before...... In any case, I can't let him get to such a point!

Thinking so, Abel coughed, tried to maintain the expression and eyes on his face, as if he hadn't noticed anything, and said:

"Why do you need such a powerful firearm? I think you don't have a mission right now, and you're still at home on vacation, right? And automatic rifles are strictly prohibited by law, and it is impossible for me to sell them to you. ”

"This ...... I'm useful. "Of course, Colonel Owen can't tell the other party the truth, so he can only be vague." Also, don't come with me, the law is indeed prohibited, but I know that your sales channels are difficult to be effectively monitored and legally enforced. ”

And as if he had thought of something, he clapped his palms and added, "By the way, I don't want one, I want to buy a lot!" ”

“…… A lot? "Abel's face will be green.

He seemed to find an excuse, and hurriedly said, "This is hard, Owen. You know, you can't buy a second gun in a row within five business days. ”

"Less...... It's not that I don't know what's going on in your industry, if your industry was really willing to abide by the law instead of being guided by interests, the United States would have completed gun control a long time ago, how can so many presidents who want gun control die from shooting? ”

The man frowned, and looked at the gun shop owner dissatisfiedly and suspiciously: "Abel, this is not like you, you have money to make and still push back...... You don't want to increase the price, do you? ”

"No, I'm just ......"

Abel didn't know how to explain it, and stammered.

After a few seconds, he finally came up with a solution, and quickly made an excuse: "I just need time to prepare, you know, I can't always stock these things in my store." ”

"How long are you ready?"

"Soon, about two days." Abel hesitated for a moment to give such a time.

"Well, the delivery location is in that chapel, remember?" Colonel Owen didn't pay much attention to it, and directly finalized the friend deal this time.
