How little you know about which you type... :roll:
Any FFL has a chance of being inspected once every 10 years. No matter the issues with this inspection the ATF can't come back without a detailed court order- which can take years to obtain, the business can continue to sell firearms without further inspections.... if after years of 'due process' the owner is found guilty the punishment is often a small fine another family member takes over with a tiny name change and no jail time.
However a quick Google will show how some FFLs have been amazingly ahhhh 'sloppy' with sales records but did no jailtime (even after strawman purchases have been traced back to them) a small fine, the owner still works at the shop and business as usual...
But the direct answer is no one knows how many are because the ATF is so hamstrung in auditing FFLs.... out of 134,738 FFLs only 11,009 were inspected. How many years would it take to inspect every FFL.... eace
should be a state issue. the ATF shouldn't exist in the first place
