Well, it's better to invest time and resources to check federally licensed, legally sanctioned, law abiding firearms dealers than to conduct rigorous surveillance of middle eastern men who conduct dry runs of blowing up airliners in flight, I suppose.

"Only about 4.5 percent of the nation's federally licensed gun dealers are checked each year"

Good. Does it ever occur to the gun grabbers that gun laws on the books already far exceed the governments ability to enforce them? Fortunatley for the 2nd Amendment, law enforcement, so far, concentrates on real violent crime rather than abstract possibilities imagined by agenda driven lunatics.

They might be able to inspect more dealers if they didn't spend so much time copying the 4473's. (Yellow sheet with buyer information on it which is *supposed* to stay with the dealer, and is by law not to be kept in any federal facility, except for those from former FFLs who are out of business.)

Only about 4.5 percent of the nation's federally licensed gun dealers are checked each year to ensure they comply with firearms laws, far below the goals set by the agency that does the exams, the Justice Department said Monday.

And when they do show up, they exhibit a knowledge of regulations far below that of the average dealer, and either a zeal, or secret orders, to write the dealer up for something, even if they have to make it up.

Very few are checked because crooks don't get licenses! DUMB gubmint regs!

But apparantly somebody at the atf realizes what a waste of time and money this would be.

What percentage of taxpayers are audited each year? Somehow we'll survive this.

The review made nine recommendations for changes in the inspection process, development of a tracking system for license revocations and improved use of gun tracing capabilities.

See kids, just a short regulatory hop to registration. Now, that didn't hurt a bit, did it?

my paperwork was meticulously accurate and reflected the law-abiding citizens I sold to - which just went to show what a useless agency ATF is.
