Interesting Article. There seems to be a rash of shut downs and shop closures in the area lately

As of December, the ATF had recommended eight license revocations in the past three years in a region that includes about 6,800 gun dealers in Washington, Idaho, Alaska, Oregon, Hawaii and Guam. It also issued 31 warning letters, held 17 warning conferences and recommended that 50 license applicants be turned down. Twenty-eight licensees voluntarily surrendered their licenses after ATF investigations.

Remember, the gun shop that sold the Bushmaster to the Beltway Sniper is in Washington state.

This seems to me to be "too little too late and cover your butt" stuff to make it appear that they are on the job.
