Hundreds of FFLs lose licenses under Biden crackdown.

Hundreds of Gun Dealers Lose Licenses Under Biden Administration Crackdown

After years of light enforcement to encourage cooperation, the ATF is clamping down on firearm sellers, who say they are being unfairly targeted.

I received my FFL when I turned 21 years old while living in Illinois. When Slick Willy got elected I gave it up for the additional crap he put on FFL holders.

Whatever firearms you got... KEEP EM'.

That’s what I’m trying to do. I even tossed up selling my 9mm AR to fund upgrades for my actual AR recently and my wife even said nope. We sell nothing at this point. Especially if it’s something that’ll be on the endangered species list.

Looks like the plan includes killing off the sales that require shipping. The major shippers USPS UPS and FedEx are all tightening their rules. Every few months they seem to be moving just a little closer to nothing to do with guns, or only accepting guns and gun parts from FFL dealers, with registered accounts. Then they can make the registration process so onerous it's not worthwhile. This with eliminating as many FFLs as the BATF can revoke creates another choke point.

I wonder if they will stop shipping ammo as well.
I think the ammo we get online always comes FedEx -

Same thing happened to my cousin when he had his FFL. Both the State of California and ATF colluded in cracking FFL dealers selling out of their homes which at the time during the early 90's was common. They used the zoning restriction tactic as reasons for shutting down FFLs selling out of their homes.

As Biden and Democrats said “Mexico has but one gun dealer, America needs the same! Heil Biden!”

Sadly Americans are losing to a bunch of Nazi Democrats who hate the Constitution.

In November of 2024, we will know if America picks freedom or fascism, a civilized society or socialism.

Like an Anaconda, the Democrats will strangle freedoms if you don’t hack them into pieces that can’t work together.

Close down gun stores, close down private FFLs, make ammo difficult to obtain, .... these are all part of ratcheting the Second Amendment out of existence.

i did they same thing when my license was up for renewal and the inspector he heavily suggested that ffl holders should have a store front.

They’ve done alot of damage (not just with 2A) in just 2.5 years. They still have another 1.5 years, so a lot can happen in that time.

I never had any interaction with ATF the whole time that I held my license.

I dont see how this is going to make an impact on keeping guns out of the hands of criminals

It will have no effect on crime.

You aint kidding there, most FFL's are using third party shipping companies that do enough business to not get UPS to raise an eyebrow. Shipping is getting stupid.
