Damned if You Do...

...and damned if you don't.

BATFU told Red's Trading Post they needed a computerized acquisition/disposition system. At no small expense they got one, and have been told it meets all the arbitrary requirements of the moment.

But BATFU is still gonna revoke their license. So there.

I'd like to take a moment to offer two comparisons of support for Red's from links on Ryan's blog under the heading "Red's Trading Post News":

The first has been described as an 800 lb. gorilla, an organization with paid staff, millions of members, a feared power on Capitol Hill, that takes in untold millions in gun owner contributions.

The second is an obscure blogger that most will never hear of.

Anybody notice something backwards going on here in terms of level and quality of effort vs. influence and resources...?

Not particularly looking for any special love here, just kind'a sayin'...

Unintended Consequences!

Yes, I'm sure being DQ'd was not a consequence Red's intended to have happen when they went to the expense of getting a new system.

I'm very thankful that an obscure blogger that most folks will never hear of has and is taking the time and effort to collect and share information on the insanity and related atrocities committed by our own government, even moreso because the rights being trampled are enumerated in the very document that grants the federal government its sole source of legitimate power!

I share selected stories with the few inside my sphere of influence regularly.
