23. And some ATF Inspector has to drive to the middle of nowhere to inspect a guy who sells 1 gun

gun in 2 years WHY??? And you call that a legitimate business? Meanwhile, that Inspector could have driven 20 miles the other way, and found a REAL dealer whose books were so messed up (purposely) that there's no telling who bought firearms from him. And that dealer could be the one who's been getting a lot of weapons into the wrong hands.

All that first guy wants is to buy a gun or two cheaply for himself, he sells 1 gun every 2 years, wastes the Federal government's (and taxpayers') money by hanging onto that license and making ATF inspect him as IF he actually has a business. And he keeps ATF tied up on fucking penny ante bullshit when they could be making this a safer place for all of us to live.

A business has a premises. A STORE. It has actual HOURS. It has CUSTOMERS. It SELLS STUFF. It has INVENTORY. It keeps RECORDS. If an inspector goes there to the STORE during the HOURS it will be OPEN. And there will be SALES and RECORDS to inspect and INVENTORY to count and compare to what should be there according to the RECORDS.

This isn't a goddamned Avon business. All the fucking NRA did with this is ensure ATF will miss something big because they have to go see the cheapskates who get FFLs just to buy guns for themselves at wholesale prices instead of to run a legitimate business.
