Dang you're thick. As has been clarified a dozen times in this thread, the practical cost went from somewhere around $100/yr to having to maintain a storefront. Went from tolerable to intolerable. Didn't help that BATFE agents went around harassing many into bailing out.
Leave me out of this. YOU tell HIM it's not "a LOT" and its only "a few".
Kinda hard, as you're an incredibly prolific poster in this thread, baselessly insulting small-time FFLs in sweeping terms, and generally demonstrating your rank ignorance of the subject.
Not I. Go back to post #31. HE said "a LOT"' of small-time FFLs are abusing the system.
You say it's only "a few", yet you cannot explain (without lying about required storefronts) why suddenly 230,000 FFLs went out of business.
(You have yet to admonish the poster who actually did the insulting. Hard to believe you're actually insulted.)
