The guy behind the counter comes back and says, "Legally, I can't sell you the gun. And, I should be calling the cops right now. But if you just walk away, and leave, there's nothing I can do."
Assuming this is truly what happened- which we can only assume- I surmise that the clerk was trying to avoid a confrontation with the buyer by implying that police would be called if he did not leave quietly.

I don't think it had anything to do with what the NICS operator said.
