So, let's see - the number of FFLs drops from 284,000 to 60,201; but the problem is that ATF doesn't have enough inspectors, having only increased from the 764 doing the job in 1990 to the 771 in 2009.
Sounds like more shoddy reporting to me... do reporters even question the crap they are told or do they just reprint it like some kind of dictation machine?

Dead on Sir. Not to mention that despite increased sales volumes of firerarms since 1991, violent crime actually has decreased, with the exception of a small and almost insignificant uptick in 2007. This negated the anti's "more guns = more crime" argument, though they continue to use it anyway.
The NYT and the Minneapolis Star Tribune, both lefty, anti gun newspapers, are struggling financially. There is a reason for it. People don't have to accept the tripe these media dinosaurs are serving anymore. We have lots of other sources where we can get objective and more accurate reporting.
