Yes, we’re still doing 4473s for silencers. No, we don’t care if/when the ATF drops guidelines, or not.
Last rant about this subject. Probably.
I didn’t expect the vast majority, like over 98%, of arms dealers to be such cowards. Especially in Indiana. One of the most 2A friendly states in the union.
In a world where Chevron Deference is dead, and Entrapment by Estoppel exists, imagine sitting in a chair in the corner asking for permission to do something a federal judge already gave you permission to do. And, that organization you’re groveling to not only does not make rules, but has killed pregnant women and children by burning them alive. Then, when your direct competition goes “hey, we should all be on the same team here”, and actively tries to give you their playbook, it falls on deaf ears. That’s quite telling.
Worst fact is that those are the moderate cases. In extreme cases, we’ve heard reports of shops telling customers that they’ll call the cops on them for just asking about cans on 4473s. Another place told customers that they’re thinking about reporting us. By all means, do it so we can put you on blast after passing with zero violations.
None of this should come as a surprise. In an industry full of snakes, why should we have expected a community effort? There’s a reason why so many of these people vote for anti-2A politicians. It’s all about the money.
My question to the general customer base is simple. Why continue to support places that refuse to look at the bigger picture, and don’t have your best interests in mind? After the last month, there should be a clear line in the sand for most of us. We’re not the only options who actually care either. We’ve been working on a list of a small handful of other shops in the state doing 4473s since before September 19th. If you’re not close to us, reach out, and we’ll connect you with the closest one to show them support, too! Everywhere else, why bother with them anymore?
The 19th was our cutoff date for understanding any concern they may have had. Anyone who didn’t start transferring by the 19th, we’ve completely lost all respect for. When we started Corvus, we agreed that we didn’t want to grow by putting others down. However, good grief, this last month has shown exactly where these people stand. If two retards in southern Indiana can figure this stuff out, and the majority can’t, that’s a massive black pill. Being a cuck, and treading shallow water isn’t what the community needs. God forbid they grow spines, or stand for something. We’ve been getting duped by them for years at this point. Being local doesn’t mean they deserve your support. Make them earn it back.
