Related: About this forumGun Store Owner Supports Improved Background Check System
President Obama recently outlined a series of executive actions he said will help reduce gun violence, including improving the background check system. We talked with a Columbus gun store owner who thinks improving the system is a step in the right direction.
Delbert opened the gun store with his dad, three years ago. Theyre former police officers.
Our main focus has always been training, and the safe, responsible ownership of firearms. So everything that we do has that as an underlying message," he said.
So when Delbert heard President Obama say he wants to improve the background check system as part of his plan to curb gun violence, Delbert did what many might consider an odd step for a gun store owner, he agreed.

        But to Delbert, the Presidents other executive actions wont do much. Delbert said smart gun technology will be expensive and leaves room for potential electronic malfunction and criminal hacking.
He added requiring every gun seller at gun shows to have a license and conduct background checks goes after the wrong people.
The overwhelming majority of firearms that end up in the hands of the criminal, and are ultimately used in crimes, are coming from 1. Stolen guns and from 2. What is called a straw purchase. Having somebody who is legally able to buy it, buy the gun and give it to person whos not," he said.
