Yeah, back in the early 1990s I bought a couple of nice surplus military rifles from a guy with a FFL who worked out of his garage at night after work. He no longer can do that because of BATF’s new rules and regulations.
Yes. Put in place during the Clinton administration, with the express purpose of reducing the number of FFL holders. Consider that. An agency pushing a regulation with the express purpose of reducing the numbers of license holders that they have to administer. It makes absolutely no sense from a bureaucratic perspective.
