Washington D.C. – The Biden administration is being accused of a back door approach to attack the Second Amendment after the ATF revoked the gun licenses of 122 gun dealers in the last year.
During the Trump and Obama presidencies, the number of licenses revoked never exceeded 81.
Some in the gun industry are crying foul and suggesting that they are being unfairly targeted for political reasons over paperwork errors as part of an agenda to combat gun violence which President Biden has vocally pushed.
“We were making $1 million a year, now it’s less than $100,000,” Anthony Navarro, a gun dealer who lost his license last year after receiving three warnings for legal violations since 2009, told the Wall Street Journal. “This policy is designed to be a backdoor violation of the Second Amendment.”
Navarro said he was issued warnings over mistakes gun purchasers made on paperwork but that they weren’t prohibited from buying guns.
Others have pointed out that gun dealers are typically strong allies of the federal government in terms of providing tips on suspicious gun buyers and that the working relationship could be harmed by the crackdown.
In a statement to Fox News Digital, the ATF said it is following the law.
“Federal Firearms Licensees are often our first line of defense against gun crime and are often a source of critical enforcement information that helps law enforcement identify straw purchasers and disrupt firearms trafficking schemes,” ATF Spokesperson Kristina Mastropasqua said. “FFLs that willfully violate the law, however, must be held accountable. ATF conducts inspections to ensure compliance with applicable local, state, and federal laws and regulations and to educate licensees on the specific requirements of those laws and regulations.”

Dumbass democrats don’t realize, or they do, that inner city thugs don’t buy their guns from legitimate dealers. The real targets are law abiding working class people that hunt or maybe just target shoot.
….or people who merely wish to defend themselves from the criminals who prey on them, either at home, in their cars or businesses. The federal government no longer honors the Second Amendment, and seems to be successfully bypassing it with its Agencies that don’t require voters to change rules.
War on the 2nd amendment, is very dangerous.If the criminals,have the guns, taking away law abiding citizens guns is ludicris, so we can’t defend ourselves.This lying,senile,frail,old,puppet,fool, is delusional at best,no one is giving up their equalizer,with all these criminals,invading our country.Fkg idiot.
Open borders, defund police, disarm Americans. And the country is toast
But But But Senator Diane Feinstein of California said if you Guns are outlawed and Americans turn in their legally obtained firearms then criminals will to “it’s only natural”. This is before they started parading her dead body around around congress while and aid parrots her vote of aye
If you can get them legally, make up some junk and stick it to them. If that don’t work, call in a former secretary of state and first lady.
Every society the Left has disarmed, has been subjugated!
Disarmament then Genocide and Enslavement!
Once the Marxist Dems get control of firearms America will become Venezuela overnight.
