New gun control: Shut down shops

This thread is a joke, and anybody who has their panties in a wad in here needs a reality check, with a two by four to the head. I know this is a hot-button issue for y'all, what with the looming specter of Hillary, gearing up her federal jackboots to disarm you so that your family can be murdered by crackheads that soft-on-crime Liberal judges have set free, etc.

...but seriously, folks. Can you read this part without laughing? Read it carefully. Slowly. Go ahead and read it a few times.

Quote:

...as recently as 15 or 20 years ago, there were 250,000 licensed gun dealers in the United States.

Today, the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives told WND, there are 108,381, and if more cases involving dealers such as Red's Trading Post of Twin Falls, Idaho, develop, that number will plummet quickly.

Wait, did the Bureau actually say that, or was that Chicken Little? I'm so confused, the hard-hitting journalism has bedazzled me with a barrage of fact-like things!

There...used to be...a bigger number... now it's smaller... and now this other thing... OMG! I just put 2 and 2 together and it's time to freak out!

Ridicule all you want, there has been a concerted effort by the feds to control guns by paring the number of outlets to a minimum.

Perhaps because they are too lazy, or under resourced, to enforce the thousands of laws on the books, they have chosen to group the sources into fewer, more easily defendable, fortified, locations. This is because in case of "civil insurrection" or "national emergency", BATF assumes control and defense of all firearms sources.

This is the ultimate gun control and much easier to keep additional guns, and ammo, from flowing into the hands of the people, with only a few outlets to seize.

The problem for us is that fewer outlets reduces competition, increases prices, reduces selection and is generally bad business.
