There was a piece in Tackle and Guns, the trade magazine, discussing the morality of mail order sales, so he may have got the wrong end of the stick.
As it is, most internet search engines won't allow gun related sites to advertise. When I had a google ad up I was turning over £5000 a week with 4 months of starting up. Since Google and everyone else pulled my ads I don't think I've taken that much in 9 months.
Instead, I've spent 9 months on the BBS!
