I wonder how many forms and bureaucratic errors the geniuses at the BATFE have made over the years? Maybe THEIR license should be revoked!

Also, I'm not a dealer, but I'd like to consider how the following admissions MIGHT truthfully be reworded by someone who was not calculating to make the shop look incompetent, dangerous, and evil.

"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."

Here's a scenario that might actually be true:
Red's manager, Ryan Horsley, admits when the business sold guns, a couple times over the years and tens of thousands of sales, an employee forgot to make sure the customer filled in his county of residence along with mailing address. Once, when a customer made a special order, a background check on the old customer who had passed many such checks done by the shop was forgotten, because the new employee who handled the pick-up thought that the check had been done when the order was placed and advance payment made. Another time, all the proper background checks were done for a good customer who bought more than 5 pistols for his collection, but the clerk forgot the extra form that has to be filed when more than 5 are bought in a short period. Some unsold guns were returned to the manufacturer, to keep defective guns off the street, but they needed to look through shipping records to see which ones they sent back when their inventory did not agree at the end of the year. Also, an employee thinking that they were like the other applications forms accidentally threw away denied application forms. The shop didn't have all the latest ATF brochures and pamphlet in their shop for everyone to ignore.

"Once, when a customer made a special order, a background check on the old customer who had passed many such checks done by the shop was forgotten, because the new employee who handled the pick-up thought"

There's a box on the form to be filled in with the background check number. These forms are simple.

"an employee forgot to make sure the customer filled in his county of residence along with mailing address."

The employee should go over the form, to make sure it's filled out right. Horsley should have checked that the forms were also. It's not as if he had to count thousands of grains of sand every night.
