6-7 errors out of 10000? Doesn't sound sloppy to me. If government kept track of our tax money like that, we'd be a lot better off...
Considering most of these arbitrary BATFE infringements shouldn't even exist, don't be too happy about this guys business going down the tubes.
See post 74. Red's say less than 1%, which would be less than 100, not 6 or 7. On the one hand that's over 6 or 7 years, on the other the paperwork isn't that onerous, and he admits to the paper that they consiously omitted a background check in at least one "special" case, failed to report multiple handgun purchases, and discarded denials. Those are conscious acts, violations of the law, not sloppy paperwork.
It's worth noting that the alternative to gun dealers maintaining the paperwork is a government registry, which they'd be happy to maintain.
No, that includes catagory errors. The number of errors is higher. It's sloppy and careless. If you can't look at every sales form and make sure every single one is filled out, there's a problem. There's also a problem if the background check boxes are not filled in, or no paperwork is created for a transfer back to the distributor. This is really simple paperwork. Also, that's 10000 in eight years, and the count is for recent violations. That's 3.4 guns/day. Tell me handling 3.4 pieces of paper/day is an onerous and tough thing to accomplish.
"most of these arbitrary BATFE infringements shouldn't even exist,"
The Constitution gives Congress the power to regulate commerce. This guy's involved in commerce, and the regs are much less extensive and bureaucratic, than even ditchdigging, or roadcrew work.
"don't be too happy about this guys business going down the tubes."
I never said I was happy. The guy should have taken care to clean up his op after the first audit. Maybe he did for awhile, but reverted back to his old ways.
That's a .07% error rate. Kind of small. Should the IRS apply this standard to taxpayers? Even better; shouldn't journalists be held to that standard or lose their right to write?
