    Found page 15 interesting.
    Florida would have been in 1st place in every category except for being beaten out of Destructive Device applications by the good folks in California.

    Reckon what they're doin over there???

    (obeying the law and applying ??? )

    Sorry to burst your bubble of state pride, man, but you should scroll all the way down the list and check out TEXAS. :first:

    Texas is #1 in every category except: California has the most Destructive Devices and Short-Barrelled Shotguns, and Connecticut has the most Machine-Guns.

    Florida is consistently in the top few, but never #1. :second:


    It is an interesting synopsis of data, though. I'd be curious to see what the next 8-years looks like on those charts.

    I think the movie industry is the major consumer.

    Notice the reduction in FFLs when lic cost went from $30 to $200 for each of the first three years and $90 there after. 1992 = 248K Dealer FFLs, 1996 three years implementation Dealers down to 105K. Our Dealer low point was 09/10 with only 48K. I'm sure there were oter factors that played into the numbers. We really have not recovered much since most recent data year 2016, shows only 57K Dealer FFLs.

    For the Stamp Waiters Support Group
    This begs the question: With the manpower and budget increases received by the BATFE since 1993 and the elimination of 4/5ths of the Dealer FFLs issues since then: Why the hell does it take so long to process and Approve NFA Forms?
