The problem with you disagreeing is that you do not realize what goes into firearms transfers. It its time that goes into logging a gun in and logging one out and the time for paperwork in between. Plus the dealings with ATF if everything wasnt triple checked to make sure everything is perfect so you do not lose your license. This is the most regulated industry in the US and the ATF can make mistakes but God help the gun store that does. You really do not have a clue what is involved. Transfers ARE a courtesy!
Bullcrap. I have a C&R and have to keep the same bound book that an 01 FFL keeps. You copy down the info from the license that comes with the gun (or person's DL info if a non-licensee), the type, make, model, caliber and serial of the gun, and then fill in the disposition side when it goes out. Do you keep your bound book on stone tablets? How long does this take? It takes me about 30 seconds to record a gun in, and 15 to record it out.
I won't argue with you on the compliance end, ATF is a joke in that regard.
