Eons ago, there was some guy - maybe here on NES - that was selling a lot of HUNDREDS of IJ and other lower-tier old revolvers for some stupid-cheap price.
I happened to be at the Springfield Show that next Saturday. ATF had a booth. "So, I have a question. I've got a C&R. If I bought all of these and sold the vast majority of them off over the next couple of years and kept hte ones I wanted, is that considered being a 'dealer?'"
The agent wouldn't give me a straight answer. It all depended. But he did covertly tell me that this would be a BAD IDEA. LOL
I think he was asking $20 ea in the lot. I figured if I could get $100 - even with hassle and shipping, it might work out. Although I've got a pretty good day job, so. . . .

Assassins of McKinley and RFK both used Iver Johnson revolvers.
But if dafuk is for grammar (probably lol), can’t help you, and agreed
Allow me to try edit this into what I believe the illiterate writer was trying to say.
"Two events, the in 1901 and the second in 1968 off a dark side to the success of Johnson’s enterprise."
Two events, the first in 1901 and the second in 1968, offer a dark side to the success of Johnson's enterprise.
The events, as explicated above, were undoubtedly the assassinations of McKinley and RFK, though the first involved a .32 caliber revolver and the second a .22 caliber revolver. Tidbits: While Kennedy's cause of death was clearly a GSW to the temple, McKinley died of sepsis two weeks after the shooting, caused in no small part by the surgery performed by a gynecologist who had limited training in surgery. Unable to find the bullet (one of the two fired only grazed the president) after digging around in McKinley's abdomen, the doctor sewed him up and sent him back to his hotel room. McKinley had been visiting Buffalo for the Pan-American Fair, an event that perhaps ironically was displaying one of the first X-ray machines, a tool that was not used but which might have saved McKinley. The assassin, Leon Czolgosz, purchased the revolver for $4.50 several days before the shooting.
