The article itself doesn't bother to make a claim to notability, but this shop was once in the news. It was formally called "Badger Guns." In 2010, the Brady Center center named it the No. 1 shop in the U.S. that sold guns to criminals.[1] It no longer sells guns. I think this is covered under WP:NOTNEWS and WP:ONEEVENT. 2NewEvolution1 (talk) 03:05, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- strong/speedy keep A local gun store, mentioned by the brady campaign, the wall street journal, MSNBC, and multiple books [2] [3] and multiple scholarly articles [4] [5] Not sure what version of WP:GNG the nominator is thinking of here... At a minimum a WP:BEFORE failure, including not reading the multiple refs already in the article. Gaijin42 (talk) 03:21, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep It's pretty rare for one gun shop in a community to be called out for selling crime guns in a city, but this is definitely one and a source of tension in Milwaukee. Subject has been in the news multiple times based on just gun traces, and for their many name changes and ownership shuffles to stay in business. Sourcing is not an issue, and nominator stunted nomination by adding another source in their nom. Nate • (chatter) 03:57, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- comment As all !votes have been keep, and Nominator has now been blocked as a sockpuppet who was wikihounding me, which makes this eligible for speedy close as bad faith, if someone cares to do so. Gaijin42 (talk) 23:06, 8 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Endorse per this blanking edit; user clearly made non-controversial edits solely to get auto-confirmed status and then start on this. Not closing this myself though. Nate • (chatter) 02:37, 9 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
