Cooperation between gun shop owners and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) is crucial. Store owners need to feel supported in reporting mistakes and fixing them without fear of severe consequences.

The regulatory and criminal aspects are merging in cases related to firearms regulations. ATF agents and the federal government play a key role in how these cases evolve. The complicated regulatory scheme, involving intricate forms and requirements, can unwittingly lead to legal issues for law-abiding gun shop owners.

There is growing concern about the government's crackdown on gun shops using regulations as a criminal tool. Cases involving paperwork errors should not be considered capital offenses, leading to the loss of livelihood and imprisonment for store owners. Strict enforcement may be politically motivated, resulting in reduced availability of firearms without addressing the root causes of gun crime.
