In the ATF's case they imply that they will can be there to Audit your books, raise a question about one of your sales, and inform you that that the investigation can take upward of 12 months to complete. You can be told that your class 7 licence to manufacture may not be renewed or that all the inventory you have inbound is suspect and will have to be held at a bonded warehouse until it can be cleared.
The can also when you do a call in background check (as all dealer have to do) order you to complete the sale. Despite the fact that you raise objections,
but also please understand we are not just talking about store front gun shops. J&G is a licensed wholesaler with a good national reputation. CBS also report they used stings and payoffs to to get criminal informants to facilitate these sales.
Again in my experience the Individual ATF Agent are professional and have never been capricious in there decisions but this agency answers to no one they are the IRS of the gun world here in the states and can crush you.
