Crashed government website halts lawful commerce
A crashed California Department of Justice (DOJ) website during the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday prevented the shipment of thousands of firearms to retailers in California, and cost legitimate businesses tens of thousands of dollars in delayed or lost sales.
California has some of the most restrictive firearm laws in the country. One of those laws creates the California Firearms Licensee Check Program (CFLC). It was the inability to comply with the CFLC, due to the DOJ website crashing, that caused the whole problem here.

Funny how someone in the Gooberment didn’t want to work on a Federal Holiday, isn’t it?

Not only was CFLC down, but the Firearm Dealer Acquisition System (FDAS) was down. This prevented us from buying/trading/consigning guns from customers as well.
