U.S.A. -(AmmoLand.com)- I’m Charlie Cook and welcome to another Ammoland News Second Amendment Update.
Joe Biden has declared war on the American gun dealer.
Biden claims these “rogue dealers” willfully transfer firearms to prohibited persons, fail to conduct background checks, falsify records, or just refuse to cooperate with ATF.
The Second Amendment Foundation’s Investigative Journalism Project wanted to know how many of these “rogue dealers” actually existed in America, so they filed a Freedom of Information Act request.
And if this “rogue dealer” story WAS true, they also wanted to know how many gun shops have been charged or had been prosecuted for refusing to cooperate with ATF.
…..4 months passed before the ATF would even acknowledge.. that they received the Freedom of Information Act, or FOIA request…. and still provided no final response.
For the next few months, SAF repeatedly called the ATF’s information office but couldn’t even get anyone to pick up the phone.
That was until last month when they finally got through to a real person, Information Officer Zina Kornegay. She said there was some back & forth on the best way to handle the FOIA request-response, and she would look into it, and call SAF back with an answer. Another delay!!
Now …another month.. has passed, and we continue to wait on ATF’s return call. But SAF still is NOT giving up. The Journalism Project is filing a new and 2ND FOIA request to get all communications surrounding the ATF’s non-response to their…. 1st FOIA request!
Could it be that Joe Biden’s “rouge dealers” don’t exist?
Or is it that the ATF has a different definition of “rogue dealers?” …..AmmoLand has multiple news reports showing ATF was targeting FFLs for revocations over minor paperwork errors.
A mistake as simple as forgetting to send a “multiple-handgun sales form” would mean that the FFL could lose their livelihood…. Are these the “rouge dealers” that Joe Biden is talking about? Or did he just make up the “rogue” narrative to justify his push for oppressive gun control?

My question of history: When has Fing Joe Biden not Lied?
Just so everyone knows, the ATF is going much further than what is being reported. They are being told to pull licenses from FFLs for even the most minor of discrepancies regardless whether it is the FFL’s mistake or the transferee’s. Minor errors on 4473 forms like forgetting to check a box or initial and date a correction or minor errors in a FFL’s logbook can now lead to you losing your FFL. Even if it is a single mistake and even if the FFL has no other hits against him. These orders are coming to the ATF directly from… Read more »
We already know of the incontinence incompetence of Biden when it comes to facts, truth, or even coherent sentence structure. We already know how well the comrade puppet masters can create a cute turn of a phrase to to further ‘enlighten’ those dupes so vehemently sucking on the teat of socialist-big tech-Hollywood media. So why bother with so much effort gleaning the truth? It’s not like the NY Times would suddenly start printing retractions, or Facetoob would suddenly start blocking anti-constitutional, pro-gun ownership or carry comments. Once the 2 FOIA requests are resolved, hopefully in my lifetime, we may see… Read more »
“I didn’t know there was a multiple gun form. How many guns is considered multiple, two?” Licensees must report the sale of two or more handguns to the same person if they occur at the same time or within five consecutive business days of each other. You have the GCA to thank for this. In 2011, ATF was “authorized” to enforce multiple firearms sales for certain types of rifles from FFLs in Arizona, California, New Mexico and Texas. FFLs in these states must report the following types of rifles: 1) Semiautomatic rifles. 2) Rifles with a caliber greater than .22… Read more »
Joe Biden has declared war on America attacking us on several fronts, food prices, fuel prices, rampant crime and surrendering to the Taliban. Biden is a disaster and a disgrace to the office of President and an international embarrassment.
Form 4473 has room for 5 firearms in one transaction. If more than 1 (maybe 2) handguns are purchased within a certain time frame (a month I think) the FFL is required to fill out and send a form via certified mail to the ATF. I would guess so the purchaser could be prosecuted for straw sales if one of these showed up at a future crime scene. Hmm, sounds a bit like an abbreviated gun registry me. (At first I wrote mini-gun registry which has a certain desirability if you know what I mean.)
