Biden ATF Attacking Gun Dealers

Since President Joe Biden announced his intention to attack gun rights in America, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) has waged an aggressive campaign against Federal Firearms License (FFL) holders. Revocation of FFL licenses has increased 500% in just the last 11 months. 

“In the years before the Biden-Harris administration took over the White House, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives usually revoked an average of 40 Federal Firearm Licenses (FFLs) per year. But, in the 11 months since Joe Biden declared war on ‘rogue gun dealers,’ the ATF has revoked 273 FFLs – an increase of more than 500%. However, rather than targeting the true rogues, Biden’s ATF is revoking FFLs for the most minor of paperwork errors, which were never a concern for the ATF until Biden weaponized the agency.”

So, under the Biden gun control, your local gun store is a “rogue gun dealer”, even though it maintains a federal license to sell firearms, and operates legally. One clerical error, and the ATF will shut your local store down. This is an unprecedented abuse of power on the part of the Biden administration.

Studies show that criminals typically don’t buy their guns at the local neighborhood gun store. They steal them, or buy them from other criminals who stole them or otherwise acquired them illigally. 

“A 2019 survey conducted by the Department of Justice (DOJ) found that some 43 percent of criminals had bought their firearms on the black market, 6 percent acquired them via theft, and 10 percent made a retail purchase – 0.8 percent purchased a weapon from a gun show.”

So, we, as law abiding gun owners need to ask the question: What is the purpose of the Biden attack on FFL holders? Is this really to deter violent crime, or is it, as I suspect, another attack on law-abiding gun owners?
