Gun World salesman Alfred Ozga, right, talks with a customer at the sparse display of handguns available at the store on Wednesday, Jan. 16, 2013 in Harrisville, Pa.

Ozga said he didn't think the ban on assault guns would work and that although the idea of a universal background check appears to be a good idea, he would not support it, seeing that as another infringement on constitutional rights.
