Today's Gun Rights Examiner follow-up uncovers more disturbing aspects of an already troubling case.

A Strategic Alliance

“Our goal is to leverage the ATFA’s knowledge base to ensure our clients receive the best advice possible. By harnessing this advice and sharing it with our client base, it should decrease actions taken by ATF against FFLGuard clients, thereby resolving matters to the benefit of all parties.
