What we were discussing was the FFL who used the license to BUY a gun for himself cheaply. I called that dishonest. Legal, but dishonest.
"Also, a bunch of FFL's got the FFL to be able to cheaply acquire items thru the mail for themselves and friends"
I know. I think that's a dishonest use of the FFL.
You should realize, however, that ctdonath2 disagrees with you -- he says it was only "a few", not "a bunch". Personally, I call 230,000 a shitload.
Alright. Now back up the claim that those 230,000 never sold a firearm.
It's not dishonest, how is working to get a discount dishonest?
We were discussing why people got FFLs without being full-blown retail dealers. Doing repairs is a legit reason for having an FFL and not "dealing" with it.

And you have conclusively demonstrated that you have a grossly bigoted view of that subset.

You have absolutely shown no basis for holding that any number of them absolutely intended to NEVER sell guns, much less justify accusing any of them of "dishonesty". You are expending tremendous effort to expound on a view that a great many people justifiably think is frought with ignorance and bigotry.
If it is merely your opinion that most of a couple hundred thousand law-abiding citizens are "dishonest", fine. You've expressed it, and ridiculed proof of being dramatically wrong. Now kindly go away.
