ATF Firearm Trafficking Report: Licensed Retailers Aren’t the Problem
ATF released a report that‘s been years in the making and the stark reality is that the Biden administration’s admonishments of the firearm industry are entirely off target.

The article is worth a quick read. The last time they analyzed trafficked guns back in 2000, 9% of the guns were from "Corrupt FFLs". The new report shows that between 2017 and 2021 1.6% of trafficked guns were because of "Corrupt FFLs"; 80% are straw purchases and private transactions.
So the zero tolerance policy towards FFLs is putting resources in the wrong place. The ATF knowingly lets more guns get trafficked to follow them and investigate (and lose track of) than any rogue FFL ever trafficked.
