Bellevue gun shop owner urges changes to AR-15 sales here after Florida shooting
BELLEVUE, Wash. -- Jason Cazes has been selling guns at LowPriceGuns.com for the past 15 years in Bellevue.He's always been quick to fight off gun control.But the 17 deaths that happened at the Parkland, Florida, high school on Wednesday is forcing him to budge on one thing.“The kids, the senselessness of it, the evil, what’s in this world,” Cazes said.A world now where he worries about sending his 7-year-old daughter to school.“This morning I woke up with this in my heart and I have the answers,” Cazes said.For the first time, this gun shop owner wants some rules to change.Currently in Washington state, you need to be only 18 to buy a long gun like an AR-15 but 21 to buy a handgun.“It makes sense to me to bump it to 21 like handguns,” Cazes said.That's because Cazes says the Florida shooter was 19 and he also points to Allen Ivanov, who was also 19 at the time, when the Mukilteo teenager shot and killed three high school students in a jealous rage over his ex-girlfriend.“They are not emotionally mature enough to handle it, they have to be 21 to get an AR-15, I am sorry,” Cazes said.Cazes also says the background check to get a handgun is more rigorous than to purchase a long gun.For a handgun, you have to fill out two forms to undergo an FBI check and a state background check but long guns you only need to fill out the federal form to pass the FBI check.
