A totally misleading statement. It makes it sound like those gun dealers had their licenses revoked, which is not the case. The reality is that the Klinton Administration made life much tougher on gun dealers through new requirements, ATF inspections, etc. People that had gun dealer licenses solely to maintain their own collections or sold a low volume of guns chose not to renew.
I had a couple of friends who had a license and only every now and a gain bought a weapon for somebody they knew.
In fact thats how I bought my first rifle. They all dropped their license after the stricter laws and inspections. Oh, yeah, the country is really safer now with them out of business.
100% Correct. It's the exact reason I chose NOT get an FFL myself. I was lookin' for the discount to pad my own collection and to do a little business to supplement my income. When the Clinton HORROR raised her head (lol you figure that one out) I decided it wasn't worth the obvious oncoming hassles.
