Caving to political pressure. See #46.
I have a feeling a backdoor ban is going on. Political powers are calling these retailers telling them to ‘voluntarily’ shut down sales or they will be shut down completely through laws and regulations.
Firearms sales are regulated but legal in America. Political pressure, absent new legislation and in contravention of existing law, is a form of tyranny. In this case, it happens to be the wrong approach to dealing with the wrong problem.
Or shut down through various types of "audits"? This kind of thing looks like a win-win for the obamathugs, because if they can't plug the dealers on obscure tax and regulation "crimes" or threats, they can cause businesses to go belly up as a result of [predictable] boycotts. Naturally they start with the most "odious" of merchants, the gun dealers.
The Obamacare Angel of Death death panel is already in business well outside of doctors' offices and hospitals. Obama likes the name Obama"care" because it isn't limited to literal health services. It describes the all-encompassing work and character of the Destroyer himself.
