Red's manager, Ryan Horsley, admits when the business sold guns it sometimes left blank required parts of a gun purchase form, omitted a background check on a special order, failed to log multiple handgun sales to the same customer in five working days, did not keep track of guns returned to manufacturers, threw away denied applications dealers are required to keep for 20 years and failed to post a gun safety sign and pamphlets. Sounds to me like this guy needed to lose his dealer's license if he in fact violated all of these federal regulations and laws.

What part of the word "infringed" is so difficult for bureaucrats to understand?

What part of the word "infringed" do you find confusing?

If the Feds have five years of violations, Reds is no victim.

I see maybe six errors out of 10,000 sales, most of them paperwork errors.
Remember the BATFE has admitted their own database of NFA weapons is nowhere near this accurate.

I agree, but if the guy wanted to be in the business he needs to follow the rules. We can try to change the rules, and should, but he still has to follow them.
No sympathy from me on this one.

I caught this news at TheHighRoad last night. Bummer it is. Only been out to his shop once several years ago on the way to a hunting trip. He was one of Idaho's oldest gun shops.

Sounds like Ryan Effed up The BATFE has run 90% of gun dealers out of business in the past 15 years, just as they planned.
They know they can never outlaw guns, but if they make the paperwork so onerous and demand zero-defects (a practical impossibility), they can make it so there is no place to buy guns.
What part of the word "infringed" in the Second Amendment do you find to be unclear?

Sounds to me like this guy needed to lose his dealer's license if he in fact violated all of these federal regulations and laws. Really, it's not that hard to comply, unless you are hiring idiot employees. Around here, every gun shop I patronize is absolutely fanatical about sticking to the regs. I was once turned down for a purchase because the Post Office changed my zip code. The address was the same, just a different zip, and the shop told me to go get a new driver's license with the proper zip code before they'd sell me any guns.

Somebody needs to revoke the ATF's license.

The BATFE has a blueprint to drive as many gun dealers out of business as possible, a back-door way of outlawing guns.
They have eliminated 90% of gun dealers in the past fifteen years.

Really, it's not that hard to comply... What part of the phrase "shall not be infringed" confuses you?

The second amendment deals with ownership, not the transfer or brokering of ownership. Not saying I'm a big fan of the BATF or their paperwork -- by and large I'm not, and think most of this crap is unnecessary. However, the second amendment doesn't apply here.

You have any proof for your claim that there has been a 90% reduction in gun dealers in the past 15 years?
To: E. Pluribus Unum
Nobody's infringing anything in this case. This guy openly admits to poor record keeping and administrative practices as required by federal law and supported by the National Rifle Association. He didn't abide by the rules and got his license yanked. No sympathy here.

That's why the NRA receives no money or support from me.

The more the ATF does the more I pray to see the total destruction of this Jack booted THUG organization.
