Whatever his problem is, he will almost certainly lose big time. In the process, he will add even more anti-NRA, anti-gun fuel to the fire. We don't need boneheaded jerks making things worse.

I firmly believe "shall not be infringed" means exactly what it says. I think most gun laws are unconstitutional.
However, if I want to operate as a licensed gun dealer I know I'm going to have to comply with a lot of bullcrap I don't like and don't believe in.

I'm behind you 100%. Don't get me wrong...

You're calling a man defending his right to sell guns without being hassled by bureaucrats a boneheaded jerk. --- It's pretty easy to 'get you wrong'.

I believe he should fight back, but he blew most of his chances by not fully complying with laws he knew he would have to comply with. Compliance is the other half of the coin of accepting any kind of license. That's the ONLY, THE ONLY point I'm trying to make. I agree 100% with all the constitutional arguments. Lack of compliance got him in trouble in the first place, and the finest most eloquent defense of his constitutional rights is badly crippled as a result. That's the whole point.
