Willfulness As a Matter of Law

Per MacEntyre:
COURT AGAIN REJECTS ATF MOTION TO REVOKE N.C. DEALER LICENSE . . . Stating that, "While willfulness may be inferred from an individual's plain indifference to a legal requirement ... a licensee's repeated violations of the Gun Control Act do not necessarily compel a finding of willfulness as a matter of law," the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina again rejected an ATF motion to revoke the federal firearms license of a North Carolina retailer. The matter will now proceed to trial.
Noting that their "willful" deception is the excuse being tendered for BATFU's harassment of Red's, I hope Ryan's attorney is making use of this.

    . . . I hope Ryan's attorney is making use of this.

    Personally, I'd be happier if Ryan and his attorney made use of a cauldron of hot tar and a couple bushels of feathers, but I suppose it's impolitic on my part to say so.

    Oh well.
