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?

The second amendment deals with ownership, not the transfer or brokering of ownership. Not saying I'm a big fan of the BATF or their paperwork -- by and large I'm not, and think most of this crap is unnecessary. However, the second amendment doesn't apply here.

Nobody's infringing anything in this case. This guy openly admits to poor record keeping and administrative practices as required by federal law and supported by the National Rifle Association. He didn't abide by the rules and got his license yanked. No sympathy here.

Oh, we've regulated away big chunks of our rights, on this we agree. However, the people at Red's knew they were charged with following certain rules - which they evidently did *most* of the time.

The part that burns me up is that Red's was an *old* shop. Because of the repeated screw-ups, every damned 4473 form in the place will be turned over to BATFE. There's no legal prohibition against the BATFE keeping a database of gun purchase data, when said data comes from FFLs whose licenses are revoked or surrendered. Countless transactions at Red's pre-dated the electronic background check requirements... but you can bet those purchasers will be in the database soon.

The supremes have already ruled on your argument. Read those rulings and try to understand their logic. If idiots didn't abuse weapons, the courts wouldn't abuse the Constitution.

And don't come down on me, you have NO idea what my views are.
