So lemme see if I got this correct...

It only applies if you buy multiples from the same FFL, right?

So I could hit every gun store in town and buy 1 gun at each of them with no report being filed?

So is there report with hard data in it that says how successful this program has been at slowing the rate of guns flowing into Mexico? At face value, I can see why it would be a bit more work for a shady person who's being paid by a cartel to drive all over town buying guns rather than just purchasing 10 AR's off the shelf at one place... but I guess if that's what you're getting paid for a bit more gas money is probably included in your fee.

As far as I can tell, the border is more violent than ever... could it be that the conspiracy theorists are correct by saying that certain gov't agencies are in fact encouraging the flow of guns into Mexico in order to increase violence in order to justify more militarization of the Border Patrol and to give the proverbial "ammo" to anti-gun organizations and lawmakers.
