We fight, We win, Am Yisrael Chai
He said he reached the point of worrying that any weapon he sells, even to someone who will never commit a crime, could end up in the wrong hands.
“I’m not against the Second Amendment. But just with my conscience, I can’t sell it, because I don’t know who it’s going to affect and hurt," he said.
"That’s what eats at me," he said. "If it can happen, it’s only a matter of time until it does happen."
Waldman said that if he hadn't already decided to close his shop, another reason presented itself six weeks ago when a customer wanted to buy 4,000 rounds.
Even 1,000 would have been reasonable, but four times that amount, Waldman said, made him question his field.
"If you had ordered 200 to 1,000 rounds, that's fine. Anyone who shoots regularly, you're going through a thousand rounds in a month," he said.
"But when you order 4,000 rounds, the kind of stuff that goes through engine blocks, refrigerators and vests that police officers wear, I just can't sell that," he said.
Waldman insisted he's not pushing for greater restrictions on firearm ownership but is only advocating for more gun safety.
"I am more of a training and learning advocate," he said. "I am more about training and safety than I am 'everybody should just have one.' You should be able to safely have one."
He said too many gun owners don't pay the same attention to their firearms as to their cellphones.
