Red's manager, Ryan Horsley, admits when the business sold guns it sometimes left blank required parts of a gun purchase form, omitted a background check on a special order, failed to log multiple handgun sales to the same customer in five working days, did not keep track of guns returned to manufacturers, threw away denied applications dealers are required to keep for 20 years and failed to post a gun safety sign and pamphlets.

Sounds to me like this guy needed to lose his dealer's license if he in fact violated all of these federal regulations and laws.

Could you show me in the Second Amendment any reference to complying with the BATFE's Mickey Mouse paperwork?

What part of the word "infringed" do you find confusing?

If the Feds have five years of violations, Reds is no victim.

I see maybe six errors out of 10,000 sales, most of them paperwork errors.

Remember the BATFE has admitted their own database of NFA weapons is nowhere near this accurate.

Really, it's not that hard to comply, unless you are hiring idiot employees. Around here, every gun shop I patronize is absolutely fanatical about sticking to the regs. I was once turned down for a purchase because the Post Office changed my zip code. The address was the same, just a different zip, and the shop told me to go get a new driver's license with the proper zip code before they'd sell me any guns.

C'mon. You know and I know that all these regulations are in place so that licensed gun shops can get screwed by the government down the road. The ATF is your typical government bureaucracy that throws common sense out the window and make sure gun shops abide by arcane rules and laws. That's why a lot of mom-and-pop gun shops have went out of business because they couldn't afford to keep up with the massive compliance regulations.

When you have a business and sell over 10,000 guns over a five year period as the article suggests, you will make a mistake here or there. If you look hard enough, you shall find errors everywhere.

Essentially it's all "administrative" that they nailed him with. It sounds impressive, but it's administrative dot the "i", and cross his "t" type stuff.

Always eager to take the ATF's side, eh? Do you think this guy was arming terrorists and bank robbers?

The federal regulations and laws are the violations. The language "shall not be infringed" is very clear in the Second Amendment.

Maybe its all those Federal Laws that are the problem.
