Back in 1987 or 1988 I had a Pennsylvania State Trooper tell me that if he followed any car for 5 minutes the driver would commit a traffic violation that he could pull the car over for and legitimately write a traffic citation. He didn’t do that because it was ridiculous, but the traffic laws at the time were strict enough that it was impossible for anyone to follow them perfectly. Reasonable cops do not pull over every single car that they see, even though none of us is a good enough driver to follow every traffic law perfectly. It sounds like the ATF has been a bully cop doing everything in its power to cite everyone they can for the last 4 years instead of a good cop focusing on keeping people safe.

@@isaacikaika It seems taboo in the online firearms community to admit that some people absolutely should be barred from owning firearms.

The problem is that's a slippery slope and would absolutely be abused by the government to go after people who don't deserve it, just like this willful violation nonsense. It's also my opinion that the spirit of "shall not be infringed" has room for interpretation to include "unless you're a proven skid mark on the underpants of civilization".

I've heard for most of my adult life that ATF relies upon the "Interstate Commerce Clause" of the Constitution as a basis for its authority, or at least an underpinning of some sort. My question is: how long does the goobermint maintain that authority over an item of lawful merchandise that has traveled from one state to another as part of its route from manufacturer to end user? Is it forever? Because I, as an individual citizen and consumer of manufactured goods, am not a state, not do I buy anything of commercial value from my state. The stores I buy goods and services from are privately-owned or corporately owned, but they are not states. My neighbor is not a state. Some other private individual living in a community 20 miles away is not a state. If I sell my neighbor a wheelbarrow that I've owned for 25 years that was made in Taiwan, does the goobermint have the authority to regulate that sale because the wheelbarrow once moved in interstate commerce?

I’ve always been firmly believed that the ATF was shutting down FFL Store owners so that they could get all their records. They have to keep every single record of every person that buys a gun and the only way for the ATF to legally get those records as if they shut the FFL down they automatically collect all of those records and keep them . I think that was the point behind all of this they wanna know who has what and they want to keep all the records for themselves and then make it so that anybody that wants to buy a gun or ammunition has to drive 200 miles to do it.

You know it’s going wrong when the ones collecting the revenue are opting out. Not in just this scenario many other sources of revenue are being rejected for numerous reasons. The forced labor to take care of tax liabilities has driven business out of our country. Common sense desperately needs to prevail. Liberty works when left alone.

ATFE and dribbling noses needs to be abolished, Right. I agree; In the meantime, any willful or just plain sloppy gathering of information should not be tolerated at all. No 'zero tolerance' but any person (dealer) who cannot detect a gross defect on a form should be 'handled'. Not just FFL types but others. I don't want the person handling my house sales (either side) entering or passing on the wrong information.

So much easier to get released at the border than keeping your FFL.

[@anan0moose]

They need to reinstate and reimburse the FFLs that they shut down.

The behavior of government employees is not supposed to change with the change in the president. But since it does, the all the ATF employees should be considered political appointees and subject to replacement with each new administration.

Sad that so many dealers lost their FFLs and there's nothing they can do it about now.

[@westEOD]

So where can this ATF document from August be found?

[@jamespell8526]

Were the licenses of the 400+ FFL's per year that were driven out of biz, restored upon the "clarification"?
