Ridicule all you want, there has been a concerted effort by the feds to control guns by paring the number of outlets to a minimum.

Perhaps because they are too lazy, or under resourced, to enforce the thousands of laws on the books, they have chosen to group the sources into fewer, more easily defendable, fortified, locations. This is because in case of "civil insurrection" or "national emergency", BATF assumes control and defense of all firearms sources.

This is the ultimate gun control and much easier to keep additional guns, and ammo, from flowing into the hands of the people, with only a few outlets to seize.

The problem for us is that fewer outlets reduces competition, increases prices, reduces selection and is generally bad business.
