Really, it's not that hard to comply, unless you are hiring idiot employees.

How in the HELL is the average small business (gun store) owner going to be able to afford to get the best employees, if all he can afford to pay is seven or eight dollars an hour?

I'm sure most of them are conscientious enough to try an hire the best people they can, but they are limited.

They should NOT be held accountable, especially to the point of LOSING their business, for mere TECHNICAL infractions, of highly convoluted government-mandated red-tape, committed by their employees.

The BATF's tactics are unconstitutional and UN-AMERICAN.

The employees ARE the business. Your logic is odd, to say the least. That's like saying "Publix" should not be fined for OSHA violations because the employees committed the violations or that "Mike's Bar" shouldn't lose its liquor license because Sam the bartender or Sally the waitress served underage patrons.

Also, I don't find throwing away denied applications and not performing background checks to be technical infractions caused by "highly convoluted government- mandated red tape". These two regulations are pretty much the the most important ones.
