I would be willing to bet that the remaining 23,372 FFLs are C&Rs, manufactures and Class III to name a few.
You are incorrect in your statement about FFLs have nothing to do with possession, etc. You must have a Class III FFL if you own/possess/etc. one of the few citizen ownable machine guns.

Incorrect. A Class III FFL DEALER is required to complete an out of state transaction for a NFA weapon, but I legally, (tax stamps, etc) own 3 NFA weapons (CAR-15 in two calibers, Micro-Uzi and a H&K) and I am not a FFL.
