Is Mass Death Even an Option?

Quark has had some business setbacks and has mortgage his bar, three times! When his cousin, a gun runner for an evil man, makes him an offer, he falls in line. What he doesn't realize is how dangerous this guy is and what a monumental horror he represents. These guys arm whole societies and planets. They have no consciences and no respect for any lives but their own. Quark must make some decisions that are counter to his ingrained cultural being. This is a pretty decent episode.
