33. Could someone please post an exact quote supporting this claim?
Edited on Wed Jun-10-09 08:43 PM by pipoman
The ATF reports that 25 to 50% of gun dealers at gun shows are unlicensed.(Michael Bouchard, Asst Director BATF;Hearings before the House Subcommitee on Crime and Terrorism, 109th Congress)

I find that completely unbelievable to the point of absurdity. If this were true, at all, as written by the anti-freedom site linked to, 25% to 50% of dealers would be leaving the gun show in handcuffs...There are actually definitions assigned the words in the quote above...believe it or not... Those definitions make the statement as written a complete lie. If, for instance, the quote said, "The ATF reports that 25 to 50% of dealers at gun shows are unlicensed. I would completely go along with that...no argument what with the jerky tables, the leather goods tables, the military relics, the popcorn and candied nuts tables, the gun cabinet and case sales, the knife dealers...you get the idea.

If you actually believe this complete and total horseshit, the obvious question is, "What the fuck are you doing writing a report Mr. BATFE agent, where are all of the criminals?" An "unlicensed gun dealer" is a very specific animal and is committing felonies. The BATFE is (supposedly, I don't believe it until I see it linked on some believable source) saying that 25% to 50% are committing blatant felonies...bullshit, where are the arrests? Jesus man you have done drank the koolaid of these types judging by your past few posts.




BTW when you quit siting liars and linking to lying sites instead begin doing your own research, you may actually become a journalist one day...till then you are only a parrot.
