Traders can’t account for 1,767 weapons, and that guns sold at Traders turn up in crimes at an alarming rate.

This one defys logic. If "Traders" doesn't have the records, how does the ATF know the guns were purchaced in his store? The dealer keeps the records. They are not forwarded to the ATF. As usual, the ATF is a cancor on Freedom.

My guess would be that the gun manufacturers track who they sell their guns to. If this store has bought 10,000 guns from the manufacturers and can only account for 8,700 of the guns it's sold, I'd say there's a problem.

What would happen to a car dealership that couldn't account for 1,700 cars that it sold? I think the BATF might be on the right side on this one.

Wouldn't they have receipts of what they bought from the manufacturers? It would be a simple matter of comparing the invoices from manufacturers to purchase paperwork, then adding in the current in-store inventory...

In California, buyers are also cleared thru the state for purchases clearance, so the state has the data, and they share it with BATF.
