Bartholomew Roberts The story raises another good point as well, what is happening so that since 1994, the number of FFLs has declined so dramatically?

Some of the story we already know. For example, anybody who was around during the Clinton years remembers the purge on "kitchen table" gun dealers who were basically collectors and enthusiasts who obtained an FFL (voluntarily licensing themselves and submitting themselves to many requirements they didn't have to meet in order to be able to buy wholesale from distributors). ...
I think you answered it yourself. Many of those "kitchen table" dealers were not engaged in the business of dealing in firearms, but engaged in the HOBBY of collecting and acquiring guns for personal use. Those "dealers" purged themselves.

ATF is completely cool with the idea of home based FFL's AS LONG AS they are actually engaged in the business of dealing in firearms.
