You found two. Congratulations.

Out of 100,000 some-odd registered dealers. Note that the simple act of "registering " these two crooks did NOT prevent them from illegalling sellling their guns to (illegal/previous felons/illegal aliens/underage gang members) in any way.

Note that the act of "registering" these two crook did NOT prevent any murders or crimes committed BY the illegals/felons who actually committed those crimes. Nor did it help solve those secondary crimes.

Note that "registering" the dealre did NOT prevent the 1165 guns sold from NOT being secondarily registered to PEOPLE who used them in a crime. I would instead point out that the FBI/ATF FAILED 1164 times in that THEY did not follow up on the first 999 cases where a gun was old but NOT immediately re-registered!

... So what the he*l good is registering gun dealers if 1165 crimes are NOT prevented? Other than allowing the FBI/ATF to arrest Koresh-style legal gun dealers.

....

Your (repeated) drinking driving comparisons are not useful; 17,000 people EVERY YEAR are killed by drunk drivers. Really, actually killed.

Now, how many people have been murdered by law-abiding
citizens legally owning firearms?

None. Some murders have been committed by gun owners, but those (by definition) were not law-abiding citizens.

"You found two. Congratulations."

Double the number you asked for.

"Out of 100,000 some-odd registered dealers"

Ah, now I get it. You challenge me to find one so when I find one you can them minimize it. Not debate it. Not counter it. Not negate it. Simply minimize it. Don't ask again. I don't like lightweights who waste my time simply to play gotcha games.

"Note that the act of "registering" these two crook did NOT prevent any murders or crimes"

Did someone say it would? Anyone? Or are you simply setting up these strawmen so you can appear brilliant when knocking them down. "Appear" being the operative word.

"Your (repeated) drinking driving comparisons are not useful; 17,000 people EVERY YEAR are killed by drunk drivers. Really, actually killed"

Out of how many millions driving over .08 every day? 10 million? Times 365 days. Hell, what is that? 17,000 out of 3 billion? Lotteries have better odds.

Yet you expect me to believe that DWI is life threatening, but FFLs selling guns to gang members and drug dealers is not?
