In business and especially with the gubmint you do not, I repeat, NOT - "DEMAND" - anything. You 'respectfully request' and use phrases like 'with all due respect'.
In my past as a Construction Project Manager and a Chief Estimator (30+ years combined) I've written more than my fair share of 'strong letters' and if I would have used 'demand' in any, I'd have been out the door in a heartbeat when the owner found out.
BTW, as a holder of a Class 03 C&R License I've had communication with the BATF and they've all been positive. Then again, I was respectful and polite. Len Savage can be right as rain here but he's acting like an ignorant knuckle dragging ass by "demanding".
(again, just my opinion.)

We do not know what communication preceded this “demand”. I believe that in certain legal situations, if you on “request” instead of “demand”, you can be refused.
I suspect that “demand” here has a required legal meaning.
My, you are a good little comrade aren't you?
