It's much worse that that,

BATFE has a 15% or more error rate in THIER OWN RECORDS!

The BATFE managed NFRTR is a shambles, a well known fact, complete with congressional testimony, money allocated by congress to correct the problem, and continued BATFE denial that the problem exist.

Anyone in possession of an NFA item that BATFE has misplaced or totally lost the records on is looking at a $250,000 fine, up to five years in prison, and forfeiture of the item, which is probably very valuable.

But hey, BATFE are not required to abide by the same standards they impose on the dealers they license!

Another very good point! If BATF can't manage its own records with the resources they have, how in the world can gun shops do what BATF can't? Its time to end the double standard or at the very least subject BATF to the same rules it imposes on gun dealers. Fair's fair.

Well stated, and true. That's exactly why it doesn't make sense to leave yourself vulnerable. A dealer who is a model of compliance has a leg to stand on in court, and a dealer with 900+ violations of any kind whatsoever does not have a leg to stand on in court.
