Recently, while at my local range (they are also a firearms seller), i saw a young man purchase a used NAA .380..... the dealer was explaining to the kid that he'd have to wait thirty days after the last purchase. I assumed he'd recently purchased a handgun and by Calif law could not buy another within 30 days. I had a 'gut feeling' that the kid was a gang banger, but without a rap sheet he is as qualified as i am to buy a gun........ gave me an uneasy feeling. Any comments?

You're right: unless he's disqualified by law for some reason, he's as entitled to buy a gun as you are. I've shared the same concern, seeing some folks buying guns whose behavior and clothing screamed "Gangbanger!" at me - but like you, I couldn't do anything about it.

I also have to remember the old adage about not judging a book by its cover. Heaven knows, with the disastrous fashion industry helping our young folks look like gangbangers all the time, it's hard to judge! :D

...without a rap sheet he is as qualified as i am to buy a gun...

Only the select few are allowed to keep and bear arms in most countries.

And even with a rap sheet, he would still be able to buy a gun. All the gun control in the world can never prevent that.
