This dealer can't account for how 200+ guns got out of the store. If I was Bushmaster, I think I'd be slamming the dealer and ATF for not catching it sooner. I don't think I'd be saying the dealer is a "good customer" and I'm still happy to sell to them.

There is a couple of points I'd like to make about this rifle. The characteristics that define this rifle as an assault weapon, had no bearing on how it was actually used. Even though it has pistol grip, a detatchable magazine and is semi-auto, it was actually used as if it were a single-shot hunting rifle. I have no doubt these idiots would have sued even if the shooters used a hunting rifle. The fact that it is a so-called assault weapon helps hype their case.

10-4. I can't imagine Bushmaster wants to take the position that a dealer who can't keep track of its own inventory is a "good customer." That comment is surprising, but it also may have been "interpreted" by the reporter. The article has an anti-gun slant to it IMO.

I agree.If Bulls-Eye's paper work is that sloppy,then it was up to "The Jack-Booted Thugs At The ATF"(not my words,John Dingle's words,D.MI)to revoke the license.Bushmaster didn't issue the license and must,therefor,sell to federally-licensed dealers.We know why The Grabbers are after Bushmaster,don't we???

Do they make special sights for lawyers?

The suit contends Bushmaster acted irresponsibly by selling its rifles to Bull's Eye Shooter Supply of Tacoma despite prior government audits that showed the store could not account for hundreds of guns.

ATF is at fault...why did they not yank this guy's license when they found he could not account for weapons in his possession?

"This dealer can't account for how 200+ guns got out of the store."

Perhaps you'd like for some independent agency to keep track of gun sales?
BATF, for example?

Why isn't the "Nation of Islam" being sued?

"The suit contends Bushmaster acted irresponsibly by selling its rifles to Bull's Eye Shooter Supply of Tacoma despite prior government audits that showed the store could not account for hundreds of guns."

Then blame the bleedin' government, not an innocent seller who reasonably relies on the government jackboots to deal with violations of the law.
