FFLs are being targeted federally by Biden’s Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms anp Explosives (ATF) which is revoking FFL licenses at an unprecedented rate, many for minor technical violations. 

Under NY State’s CCIA, Governor Hochul and her allies in Albany are also driving FFL’s out of business.  It has been reported that we have lost seventy-three 2A businesses in NY State last year.  Those are businesses that will never come back in a state that is generally unfriendly to all businesses and hates 2nd Amendment businesses, in particular.  The longer this drags out, the more FFLs that will close.

We have lost three (3) gun shops locally since the state implemented the new law requiring state background checks in September. It is reported that the state has a goal of keeping only a fraction of the existing FFLs and their shops open.

The new law is intrusive, and I believe unconstitutional. We, as gun owners, need to protect the remaining owners of local gun shops by purchasing an item(s) on a regular basis. It may not be a gun or ammo. The shops carry many items worth purchasing such as magazines, scopes, holsters etc. let your next shopping trip be to your local gun store.
