"Your own statement -- "a lot" got the license "so they and a few friends could get guns wholesale." I'm calling that behavior dishonest. Legal but dishonest."

Bullshit.

"They had no intention of buying and selling guns retail. Maintaining an inventory. Providing a service."

The guy who had the license was certainly providing a service. No difference whatsoever between him and any other reseller. The only difference was that he took a much smaller profit.

"It was a scam. You admit it was a scam. A way to get guns cheap. You think that's honest?"

YOU call it a "scam". I don't. And yes, I think it was perfectly honest. The wholesaler, after all, got his full asking price. There are a LOT of home dealers in various items that work similarly.

Bullshit? It was your statement I referenced. You're calling your own statement bullshit?

"And yes, I think it was perfectly honest."

Applying for a federal license to buy and sell guns when you have have absolutely no intention whatsoever to buy and sell guns (merely to obtain them for yourself at a discounted price) is honest. In your opinion.

Well we disagree. I think it's a lie. I think it's dishonest.
