American Experience with Guns

Yeah, everything's accounted for. Midwest shipments are going out now.
Thanks to the FBI, it should be our best quarter yet. I'll see you in the morning.

Who are you?
What do you want?

I want you to come have a seat.
You know, for my entire professional life, I've been a fervent and faithful support of gun manufacturers. These people take great pride in their history and exquisite craftsmanship.

The guns they make are the tools of my trade. In the right hand, that's exactly what they are. A proper tool. For sport. Protection. Order.

In the wrong hands...the hands you put your guns in...They subvert order, tearing communities apart, ruining lives... resulting in tragedy.

You're Raymond Reddington.

I've lost...so many friends to gun violence. Dear friends.

Not because of me, not because of anything I did.

Yes, yes, of course. You dot the I's, cross the T's, and, in your world, those rules protect you.

But in my world, there are no laws to hide behind. You can act in bad faith, as long as you're willing to face the consequences.

What consequences?

The wrath of men like me!

I object to what you're doing, and I don't need to convince any court to agree with me. In my world, if I think you're guilty...I just execute sentence.

Please. Please, don't do this.

I heard... heard someone else beg at the point of one of your guns.
She said please, too. And then she was murdered.

Now, I understand it can be hard to see tragedy for what it is until that tragedy befalls you or a loved one.

Well, I'm here to tell you that's happening to you.

About an hour ago, a violent criminal bought one of your FineCal 9s on the street for $100, and now that criminal is going to shoot you with it.

Tragic!
