“Pedo Peter” and his whole administration suck.
Why?
How many are there and why do you think that is too few or sarc too many? /sarc
What are the reasons being given for gun dealers having their licenses pulled?
Is there an appeal process or a way to have their license restored?
Is this public record so you can look up the names of dealers that have lost their license?
Brothers In Arms, dealer in Cedar Creek, TX closed in 2022. They told me the ATF just hassled them to death over paper work to the point they gave up before the ATF did. I didn’t get the whole story, but I gathered at some point the cost of lawyers, accountants, and bookkeepers was no longer profitable.
Yes, the number of FFL licenses “revoked” by the ATF is probably small compared to the number of FFL businesses forced out of business by harassment.
On a large local radio station yesterday was the weekly visit of "The Gun Guy", a 2A Attorney. I don't know if he was referencing this article, but he and the hosts were discussing the same numbers in the article. The attorney shared the story of a TSA agent who wants to quit. Why? Because the job used to be about helping and educating shop owners in doing it the right way. Today he says the job is all about finding any little reason they can to shut a shop down.
regardless, I stand by my implication that this article is lazy slipshod journalism. The author was too lazy to go find the real story so he tossed together a few numbers and made some claims. Again, I agree with the claims; the problem is that the drivel he wrote doesn't support the truth.
Those of us who understand that the government, driven by the left, is "progressively" eroding our gun rights are already aboard. The brainwashed pearl clutching leftists are a lost cause. The battle for hearts and minds is with those undecided and mildly convinced people in the middle who are open to the truth. Unfortunately, articles like this do a great disservice to winning them over. Essentially this article is a false flag because it is so easily torn apart.
Let's hope the author does better next time.
