The Herald Tribune reports, in amazement, about a Florida businessman that sells legal products to qualified customers. The store owner has even decided to catch up to the 1990s by setting up a web site and using scantily clad women to hawk his wares. (Note: I checked thoroughly and could not find any scantily clad women on the site.)

Of course, the media is so completely shocked that they even print "The site is perfectly legal." in bold letters. At issue is the fact that Andrew Bigelow sells NFA transferable firearms and munitions. The practice that has been heavily regulated since 1934, yet for some reason it is just now making the news in Florida. They also take issue with Bigelow's previous businesses, a porn site and a "legitimate" internet search engine, as if porn and machine guns are in some way illegitimate.

Naturally the media cannot resist letting irrational GFWs further their agenda.

The store naturally raises the hackles of gun opponents in Southwest Florida who question why anyone would need such firepower.

"It's frightening to see how much weaponry they have for sale," said Susannah Michalson, a Sarasota resident and gun-control proponent. "For people concerned about the safety of children and human life it's a shock."

I find it frightening that people that are unnaturally afraid of inanimate objects are permitted to roam around with the rest of society. If Ms. Michalson lays awake at night, fretting over how Mr. Bigelow makes his living, she needs to seek professional help. If she has children, they should probably be taken away and made wards of the state. She doesn't seem grounded enough to walk around free with the rest of us.
