Administratively, that is not what I saw in the 90s.
BATF delayed renewing licenses without cause. You are dealing with a population, FFLs, who have resigned themselves to immense and intrusive regulation, and are generally very co-operative with the imposing authority of the BATF. Lots of these people took the hint and either didn't renew, or had their modest business dry up when they couldn't transact any new purchases for several months because the bureau just wouldn't send their renewed license out.
I know a few who became verbally confrontational and shortly thereafter had their renewed licenses sent out.
