Why doesn't the NRA set up an FFL in DC?

Who wants to be on a government list anyways? Black market for the win!

I'd need to start selling Penis Mightiers to afford to register a gun...oh I see, the plan is to make it so poor people in dangerous neighborhoods can't afford guns. Brilliant. So now it costs X for the weapon, a $13 registration fee, $35 fingerprinting fee, $12 for ballistics testing, the shipping/transfer fee where you buy the gun out of state (about $30 in my experience) plus the exorbitant $125 transfer fee in DC, not counting travel costs of the 5 trips to the MPD and once to each dealer. That's about $215 in fees BEFORE the cost of the gun. With those sorts of fees and hassle, buying a gun on the black market sure looks like a good deal. Ah, the law of unintended consequences.

Be warned, potential burglars of the Segraves family home. The man will soon be armed with a whole lot more than a pen. I'll take The Penis Mightier for $500, Alex. (What, I'm the only one who went there?)

"They inspected my office," Sykes says. So THAT'S what the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) does!!!
