Sounds like Ryan Effed up

The BATFE has run 90% of gun dealers out of business in the past 15 years, just as they planned.

They know they can never outlaw guns, but if they make the paperwork so onerous and demand zero-defects (a practical impossibility), they can make it so there is no place to buy guns.

What part of the word "infringed" in the Second Amendment do you find to be unclear?

This is the new ATFE tactic, find violations no matter how slight, and then work their administrative court steps.

I cannot believe anyone is dumb enough to think that this is a good thing.

Fine him? Certainly, but to jump from "failure to file proper form for 5 pistol purchases in a 7 day period" to "Revoked license" is draconian.

"if they make the paperwork so onerous and demand zero-defects (a practical impossibility), they can make it so there is no place to buy guns."

The paperwork isn't that onerous and zero defects is easy to accomplish. Failure to send in multiple purchase forms, fill out the whole form, and falure to have paperwork on stuff sent back to the distributor, or manufacturer over a lengthy period like 5 years, when it's been pointed out at least once things are bad, indicates poor organizational skills, if not an uncaring, or lazy attitude in the matter.

" What part of the word "infringed" in the Second Amendment do you find to be unclear?"

The Constitution gives congress the power to regulate business. These are business forms, and this is a store. The guy needed significant improvement in his organizational and accounting skills.
