Whenever I hear this story, it's always small gun shops, and never Wal-Mart. Is the ATF acting as a Wal-Mart mercenary shock force by trying to force small gun shops out of business and thus driving business to big boxes?
The Bush administration has increased the BATFs budget by 300% over the past 6 years to almost $1 billion, which in turn has increased BATF prosecutions by 40% and license revocations to record levels. Then again Bill Bennett and G.H.W. Bush initiated the "assault weapon ban" by banning the importation of "non-sporting" firearms, Clinton just applied it domestically. Repubicrats - all, anti-gun - all.
Amazed how lucky I am that I have had jobs where I could just think about whatever I wanted to think about.
This summer I will be moving to the University of Maryland. Previously I held positions at the University of Chicago, Yale University, Stanford, UCLA, Wharton, and Rice and was the chief economist at the United States Sentencing Commission during 1988 and 1989. I have published over 90 articles in academic journals. I received my Ph.D. in economics from UCLA in 1984.

Thanks, but unfortunately, the BATFE goes after everybody.

There are certain criteria that need to be met in order for those guys to revoke. What did they gig you on?
