That being said, this article is deliberately slanted.
There are only 6 weeks out of 52 left in the fiscal year, so why the emphasis of "122 in this fiscal year alone"? Going from 90 to 122 is not a massive jump.
I am also curious as to why the author only cites numbers from the last 3 years, and also why he deliberately omits the total number of FFL holders. I looked it up. According to the folks at Silencer Shop, as of Jan. 3, 2023 there were over 130,000 FFL dealers in the 50 US states. Wow. Those 0.03% are experiencing quite the crackdown.
Just a thought, but is it possible that the overwhelming majority of those 122 FFL holders were "ridin' dirty"? And if they were, wouldn't law abiding FFLs and gun owners want them dropped?
The ATF is clearly involved in heavy handed restrictions of our constitutional rights, but this (gotta meet a deadline) article by Richard Moorhead offers nothing to support that this is one of those situations.
We obviously need more ATF agents.
