That's all we need. Some wacko Islamic funneling guns to his radical brethren, and doing it with the advantages of having a FFL under the color of law.

You, my freind, appear to be drinking the tasty koolaid the ATF and other anti-gun groups are handing out. Your statement is just as ridiculous as those that tried to get yet more Draconian gun control passed in the name of national security after documents were SUPPOSEDLY found in an Al Qaida training manual telling Jihadist's to buy guns at American gun shows.

The attempted anti-gun scare tactic went further, with the anti-gun WHACKOs saying that terrorists wanted to buy .50 caliber semi-auto weapons and use them to take out our infrastructure, airplanes, etc. (the RINO Kalifornia governor bit on this TRIPE and banned them, and the anti-gun likes of RINO-rudy would do the same on a national level, if given the chance).

ALL TOTAL B.S.

It was around this time that an ENTIRE SHIP, heading to Yassir Arafat's Palestinian Authority, was intercepted and FIFTY THOUSAND TONS of all sorts of military arms were seized!

To think Muslim extremists are shopping at U.S. gun shops or gun shows is LUDICROUS, and even if they WERE, there would be little more threat to the general population than, say, the gang bangers that already endanger citizens in most any big city in the country.

Whether the enemy is gangbangers, terrorists, or an out of control government, law-abiding citizens MUST be able to keep and bear arms in their own defense, as enumerated in the 2nd Amendment.

In the interests of accuracy, the scumbags that exploded the bomb at the World Trade Center had an FFL. Of course, they used a shill to get it in the same way organized crime uses shills to work casinos and racing ventures.

Liberal caterwauling about FFL availability will never be rational, but we should be aware of the talking points they use when confronted.

Still, no one is preventing law-abiding entrepreneuers from becoming licensed gun dealers--just takes a little more work--something unscrupulous people might not bother with. Eighty-thousand gun shops seems like a whole lot and I don't see this as a legitimate gripe about the ATF. We all can buy guns at our local sporting goods store or go to a gun show.
