The controversy erupted in April after Anchorage gun shops revealed that an ATF agent had visited them earlier this year, requesting access to their “bound books,” the volumes that firearms dealers are required by law to maintain, with every transaction involving gun purchases, sales, or other transactions...Great Northern Guns refused to cooperate with the ATF agent’s request, because it is against the law. [More]Hooray for them--that is a brave and principled stand. Now we need to help them watch their back against retaliation/"Economic Waco."
Here's my problem:
Young’s office appears satisfied that the gun shop flap has been put to rest...Why, because he received "assurances" after ATF was caught usurping authority, harassing gun stores and violating the frickin' law? I'm not satisfied and you shouldn't be either. Let these same bastards catch one of us in a technical violation and they'd come down on us with the full force of the state behind them.
