Biden’s Plan: Eliminate Gun Dealers, Eliminate Guns
Under the Biden-Harris administration revocations of gun dealers’ Federal Firearm Licenses (FFLs) have increased a stunning 500%.

Under previous administrations, the ATF revoked an average of 40 FFLs per year. But in the 11 months, since Biden has occupied the White House, the ATF has revoked 273 FFLs, and many more dealers are in the pipeline to lose their licenses and their livelihoods too.

You'll recall that Unintended Consequences was written in the depths of the Clinton years, when the BATFE was given a mandate to persecute NFA license holders over the smallest technical irregularity (even if it was the BATFE that created it).

With enough laws, everyone will be guilty of something.

Oh, they're guilty, too. It's just that the people who would prosecute them have grown accustomed to living, and would like to continue doing so.

Especially stamp tax laws, such as on NFA items, which effectively make possession of the taxed item a crime requiring the stamp as an affirmative defense. Funnily enough, there was some kerfluffle about those back around 1765 that left some hard feelings.

Not to mention the duty agents who were given carte blanche to search any premises they believed smuggled items were being stored.

There's a reason why we have all these persnickety rules about warrants, probable cause, etc.: our ancestors saw what happened when there were no such safeguards in place.
