>>>One through Rule Ten in the business, and anyone who doesn't can't be trusted to have a dealer's license, plain and simple.<<<
The ones who cannot be trusted are politicians who pass laws that require gun registration.
I agree 100%. However, a dealer who cannot or will not comply with the BATF laws should not be trusted with a license. The rougue dealers that knowingly sell to gangstas out of state, or off the books, poison the well for all the rest. Since the rougues do exist, they provide the MSM and the BATF with all the ammo they need to persecute honest dealers who are lazy and careless with their books. In the minds of the MSM and the BATF there's not much difference, if any at all, with a careless, lazy dealer and a rogue dealer - it's a gun dealer in violation of the law. A dealer in violation can't be trusted, and shouldn't be. So, ......... don't be in violation of the law, no matter what you feel about those laws. There are much better avenues for changing gun laws that trying to mount a successful defense after getting caught with 900+ violations.
