Another is to follow the implication that the 1% statistic represents
criminal behavior on the part of a relatively small number of dealers.
So we might ask why hasn't the ATF investigated and prosecuted these
bad-penny dealers (remember we are talking about 1% of all FFLs or about
1000 people).

The banners' weak "response" is that the ATF doesn't have enough manpower to investigate these dealers, and the ATF can only inspect a dealer once a year. I have this argument on videotape, Bill Moyers' show, week of April 18, 2003. Instead, the banners expect the dealers to do the ATF's job for it. Of course, the dealers can't abrogate a contract with a customer without good cause, meaning evidence and due process, meaning ATF still has to do its job first.
