9. Correct, it's the timing on those sales

With Chuck's Gun Shop here in Cook County they (Jesse Sr. and Father Pflaky Pfeleger & Co.), keep pointing out that; "Over 100 crime guns were sold by Chuck's". Then they demand that Chuck's be closed, as if that would have any impact on the violence in Englewood and other neighborhoods, but they desperately need a "scalp" to justify all their ranting.

What they always neglect to mention, is that they were sold an average of 8 to 9 years prior to the crime and have probably changed hands multiple times since originally sold.

Chucks, like most every other FFL, has scrupulous records of every sale going back decades. So the BATFE has nothing to charge them with or reason to shut them down.
