Gun laws are a joke, the ATF powers to regulate "legal" gun dealers is a joke, and the NRA and gun dealers laugh their way to the bank. Hell, the NRA even opposes laws requiring you report your gun was stolen. Maybe the NRA wrote a law that the prevents public disclosure of why a dealer has his license revoked. Wouldn't surprise me a bit. Maybe the ATF found that if they did inspections this Sandy Hook dealer would have been shut down years ago, so they are covering their own asses as to their ineffectiveness. Might take a FOIA action to get the reason. Any time you hear somebody say "just enforce existing laws" regarding guns, laugh. Because you were told a joke. This covers some of it. http://www.motherjones.com/politics/...f-gun-laws-nra Nice rant and I agree the ATF is poorly staffed but they have plenty of power over a dealer. They can pretty much yank a license on a whim and it is up to the dealer to demonstrate why they should give it back. All it really takes is any kind of small error, omission or typo in the 4473s or the bound book. Maybe you should talk to a dealer or two before you pop off. Maybe you should quit bull****ting about what you know little, and provide cites. You have not disproved a single point I made in what you call a "rant." http://www.atf.gov/publications/fact...factsheet-ffl- compliance.html "There were approximately 69,000 FFLs engaged in business in fiscal year 2012 (excluding persons holding collector licenses). During that time, ATF conducted more than 13,100 firearms compliance. About 50 percent of the licensees inspected were determined to be in full compliance with the law and regulations and no violations were cited. Approximately 67 federal firearms licenses were revoked or were denied renewal due to willful violations of the GCA. This figure is approximately 0.5 percent of the number of licensees inspected." 13,100 inspections in 2012. Only 50% of dealers in full compliance. That's 6,550 inspections finding violations. 67 license revocations or renewal denials. Those are the facts, gun nut. Some "whim." Read the entire ATF FAQ to see how ATF plays nicey-nicey with dealers. Here's how "whims" work in the appeals process. Also easy to look up. http://www.atf.gov/publications/fact...fl-revocation- process.html "Of those cases where FFLs filed a petition for de novo review with the U.S. District Court from 2001 to 2012, 85 out of 89 final decisions in District Court supported ATF?s decision to revoke. Twenty-four of the District Court Decisions were appealed to the Circuit Court of Appeals; all 24 of the Circuit Court decisions upheld ATF?s actions. Finally, two of the Court of Appeals decisions were appealed to the United States Supreme Court. The Supreme Court ?denied cert? on both of those cases." Some "whim" gun nut. It really appears just don't want ANY regulation - because you're a crazy libertarian with no sense of scale or proportion. Everything revolves around you and your wants. Bottom line, YOU "popped off" without thinking or researching. But if anybody is going to pop off like that, it's a gun nut. Shame on you. Nice puff piece but ATF managed to transit that whole circuitous route in 6 days and 2 of them were Saturday and Sunday. It certainly appears that if they want you, they can get you. The official "revocation" may take 60+ days if you can afford a lawyer capable of arguing with the government but they can suspend your license, pretty much on the spot. I have already agreed that ATF is understaffed and they don't have the manpower to do more than a cursory inspection of dealer records, but just like IRS, OSHA or any other federal regulatory agency, if they really take the time to tear your business apart, they will find violations. It seems like they were sent in there to shut this guy down and they did. Well ****head, if the ATF finds violations, we're not talking about cheating on your taxes. They need to shut down the company. We're talking about 20 little kids getting murdered. Your ****ing libertarian nonsense is insulting to anyone with even a half way understanding of how this country works. Why do federal prosecutors use firearms violations as bargining chips when pressuring the alleged criminals to please guilty. Shouldn't a law be enforced regardless of prosecutorial discrestion. |

"F.O.A.D." wrote in message m... How many people in the U.S.A. died on 9/11 as a result of Bush's incompetency? ------------------------------------------------------- The number that died as a result of Bill Clinton's incompetency, if you insist on using that description. The Clinton years were full of evidence of a major terrorist attack but officials in his administration debated, argued and misread the Intel. Support for action was also affected by the Lewinski affair with the "Wag the Dog" movie in 1997 causing many in the public to believe an artificial crisis was being created to distract attention from his Oval Office activities. This also had to be considered: " In addition, the Clinton administration was facing the possibility of major combat operations against Iraq. Since 1996, the UN inspections regime had been increasingly obstructed by Saddam Hussein. The United States was threatening to attack unless unfettered inspections could resume. The Clinton administration eventually launched a large-scale set of air strikes against Iraq, Operation Desert Fox, in December 1998. These military commitments became the context in which the Clinton administration had to consider opening another front of military engagement against a new terrorist threat based in Afghanistan." http://govinfo.library.unt.edu/911/r...Report_Ch4.htm |

It's pretty common practice for prosecuters to use discrestion when bringing something to trial. They're suppose to look at the whole story, not just the letter of the law. |

This has little to do with Bush's failures to protect US citizens. He was told "Bin Laden is going to attack" or some such. Condi and Bush ignored it. |

Well ****head, if the ATF finds violations, we're not talking about cheating on your taxes. They need to shut down the company. We're talking about 20 little kids getting murdered. Nobody has ever claimed that any of those guns were bought illegally or that this dealer violated any law selling them. The violations were totally unrelated but the pressure to "find something" on this guy seems pretty certain. "ATF officials said federal firearms license holders receive a copy of the violations report before a revocation is initiated and are made aware of the violations again during the hearing process. They have 60 days to appeal and in this case they chose not to do so, officials said." So, they had to find something and they had to tell him. Why don't you give him a call and enlighten us about their trivial pursuit. If you are actually willing to look you would find the problem started with one gun stolen by an employee and after the "raid" they found irregularities in 20 transactions but when they tracked the guns down, they found all of them. And, they just as easily might not have. That's why we have rules and they need to be enforced. Just like Madoff.. well, he might have been able to replace all the money, but he didn't. He got caught. Are you claiming that the gun shop owner should be let off, because his sloppyness didn't cause people to die? Seems like sloppy thinking to me, but I'm just a foul mouth little punk. |
