Tens of thousands of guns go missing from dealer inventories each year

the Tiahrt Amendments specifically limited the number of inventories and severely restricted the ability of the ATF to preform audits. (NOT A GOOD THING)

If there was concern over punitive audits than i'm sure a less draconian way to limit abuse could have been found than a blanket limit on number of audits. some of the amendments i personally agree with but this is one i definitely don't. coming from someone who has spent lots of time in gun stores as a customer and no after doing a job in one specifically about inventory control I believe better standards are needed.

In pharmacies there are very tight controls. Heck even the local/state liquor board can visit a club/bar/liquor store more than once to audit if evidence shows a problem/violation may be occurring.

you here gun stores complaining that they have to shut down completely for multiday audits by the atf but the truth is they don't have to shutdown. just keep records of sales made during inventory and adjust accordingly. The reason many have to shutdown during the audit is their crazy inefficient paper system of record keeping.
