Belay my last. Regardless of your opinion, the powers that be apply the law to mean that we FFL holders are responsible to know.
Do not interpret that to mean that I agree with it. However, my disagreement will not keep my or Dick’s management out of legal trouble should they ignore the law as interpreted by the BATF and DOJ. We are over a barrel on things like this. We have no option, but to cover our ass because the alternative is a 6’x8’ cell at Leavenworth.
Now you can choose to call that going along with those tyrannistas who interpret it (like the person you posted to). Or perhaps, you can call our patriotism into doubt as he also did. I offer you an alternate scenario.
Maybe we are 12 year veterans of the U.S. Navy, who have received combat pay. Maybe we became gunsmiths because our bodies were pretty much trashed while in the service, so we looked for a less physical trade that served a higher calling (think the Right to Keep and Bear Arms). Perhaps we really do not make money hand over fist, but instead just make enough to keep at it and keep the doors open.
With some perspective on the issue, maybe those who claim the moral high ground as the self-described ultimate defenders of freedom, can see that those who have to obey these ridiculous laws everyday do not necessarily agree with the laws.
If what Dick’s was doing was “the law” as you claim, then Walmart and everyone else would be doing it also. But they aren’t.
The two bills against all out-of-state orders for ammunition are strategically noticeable, politically speaking. Enormous numbers of “main street” interests are wanting to support one of those bills for local revenues, including local firearms vendors, their friends in local police agencies (who use them as CIs: confidential informants), local government politicians, teachers, appointees, regulators, other employees...the whole political/regulator class, dependent on pork to their locales from Uncle Sam.
