We’re from the government and we’re not going to help
A gun store was shut down by the BATF:
“I have been doing business as a Class 1 Gunsmith/Firearms Dealer for nearly 15 years. During this time I have requested that the ATF send out a Compliance Officer 4 different times. Their response was ‘we have no funding for training, just enforcement’.”
“In English: we would rather you make mistakes, so we can bust you, as that’s why we’re here.” …
“I have been conducting my business the same way since I started. Somewhere, along the line, my actions became ‘criminal’. I didn’t change my operating basis, the ATF changed theirs.”
The ATF has, apparently, decided that firearms dealers can’t cross state lines to conduct business.
