Just to be clear, you're talking about the Department of Education and the Bureau of Indian Affairs, right?

Can you imagine if the FAA told Congress that there were too many airlines flying too many aircraft and that they recommended closing down 50% of the industry starting with the smallest operators?

BATFE did just exactly that during the Clinton administration. Around half of all FFL holders were "persuaded" to give up their licenses. Now in an ironic example of "The Law of Unintended Consequences" those "kitchen table dealers" CAN'T run a background check even when they want to. The "gate code" to the NICS is the dealer's FFL number, and they no longer are allowed to have one.

Sometimes Karma bites don't it?

1994: Citing the factoid that there are “more gun dealers in America than gas stations,” Bill Clinton announces new regulations that result in four out of five existing Federal Firearms Licensees nationwide losing their licenses, on the basis that they are hobbyists and not bona fide commercial entities. The act is lauded as the harbinger of a new and hopeful age in which violent crime will be reduced.

2016: Barack Obama pledges to require any private gun owner who sells an arbitrary and explicitly unspecified number of guns per year (sometimes as few as “one or two”) to obtain a Federal Firearms License. The act is lauded as the harbinger of a new and hopeful age in which violent crime will be reduced.

Big-government socialists: whipsawing your life on a whim and a pretext, with vain promises to get it right THIS time.
