| 词条 | Don Davis (gun retailer) |
| 释义 |
For a while, he operated multiple 24-hour stores in the Indianapolis area. On October 8, 1997, Davis' Greenwood, Indiana store was robbed, and an employee shot and killed.[3] Soon after the incident, he closed all except for the Lafayette Road flagship store, which reduced its business hours. On September 17, 2012, a customer visiting the store to utilize its indoor shooting range intentionally shot a store employee twice. The employee immediately returned fire, killing his attacker.[4] Davis was named among the top five dealers who sell guns to criminals by the U.S. Department of Justice, ranked at #4.[5] He said that the problem is not with his selling the guns, which requires FBI screening, but with those who purchase them and privately resell them, which he describes as a major loophole in the gun control laws. Some area residents feel that Davis catered to a less-than-upstanding clientele, largely profiting from inflated prices for people that have been described as dubious.[6] Davis was a vocal proponent of the Brady Bill, He later called the bill largely ineffective, because of its wording, which does not ban guns by type or firing capacity, but rather by specific technical attributes.[7] Davis was locally known for his late night television commercials. Indianapolis Magazine voted them as the worst Indianapolis-based commercials in 1984 and 1985. He traditionally ended them with his slogan, "I don't want to make any money. I just love to sell guns, heh-heh-heh."[8] Davis was interviewed by NPR's Michele Norris on All Things Considered[9] to discuss the sunset of the Brady Bill. He had previously been interviewed by Paula Zahn on CNN's Paula Zahn Now.[10] He died at an Indianapolis hospital on February 4, 2016, aged 82.[11] References1. ^"As Expiration Looms, Gun Ban's Effect Is Debated", The New York Times, 10 September 2004. 2. ^"To protest killings, owner of gun shop burns assault rifles", Post Tribune (IN), 31 October 1993. 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://articles.chicagotribune.com/1997-10-08/news/9710080030_1_weapons-pistols-gun-store |title=Murder Suspect Eludes Cops |website=Articles.chicagotribune.com |date=1997-10-08 |accessdate=2016-02-06}} 4. ^{{cite web|author=Steve Jefferson |url=http://www.wthr.com/story/19562707/two-shot-at-dons-guns |title=Two shot at Don's Guns; one dead - 13 WTHR Indianapolis |website=Wthr.com |date= |accessdate=2016-02-06}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.wthr.com/Global/story.asp?S=4942752 |title=Don's Guns named among top five dealers selling guns to criminals - 13 WTHR Indianapolis |website=Wthr.com |date=2006-05-24 |accessdate=2016-02-06}} 6. ^{{cite web|author= |url=http://www.gunnuts.net/2008/01/28/indy-gun-shop-series-dons-guns/ |title=Indy Gun Shop Series: Don’s Guns – Gun Nuts Media |website=Gunnuts.net |date=2008-01-28 |accessdate=2016-02-06}} 7. ^"High Demand for Assault Weapons", Indianapolis Star, 19 August 2004. 8. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lgACjBJ4JJc |title=Don's Guns Garage band commercial |publisher=YouTube |date=2008-05-24 |accessdate=2016-02-06}} 9. ^{{cite episode| title = Gun Dealer Sees Changes in Weapons Law| url = https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=3905028| series = All things considered| network = National Public Radio| airdate = 8 September 2008| minutes = 3:57| transcript = NPR's Michele Norris talks with Don Davis, owner of Don's Guns in Indianapolis, Ind., about the upcoming expiration of the 10-year-old federal ban on assault weapons.
