Agree but some of the manufactures don't have billion dollar contracts with the feds so their customer base is John Q Public. So if you turn on your customer base then your sales will plummet.

They should have waited for discovery then.
In “theory”, or in “practice” ?
The ATF ran into the same type of decision as the EPA just did in the case levied against them by West Virginia. The judge stated that making policy was outside of the what the ATF could do under the NFA which is where Congress defined what a gun was in very succinct terms. The ATF modified that definition to go after frames, receivers and parts kits. At this point I believe there is an injunction against the ATF in this case/decision.In “theory”, or in “practice” ?
(Please don’t misunderstand, I’m not arguing your point. The flip side though is that if so inclined, they’ll just do whatever the fuck they want).
Contempt of court and probably conspiracy to commit “yada, yada, yada”……..
Credit card/online sales information. Not sure why that’s even a question……
The same reason any company keeps records of sales. Its called “accounting”
Since when does the ATF give a fuck about laws? They do as they please.
This has nothing to do with ATF changing their minds concerning 80% receivers rules, so those proceedings are completely irrelevant in this case. NYC has their own law banning the sale of the kits, Rainier violated that law by selling and shipping the kits to NYC residents, and made a plea bargain deal to reveal who they illegally sold the kits to so they don't face further prosecution. This is strictly a city to retailer case, one the city happily publicized to show how they took down another gun dealer.
But, make sure you only buy from the guys wearing the ‘Not AFT’ hats.
So an accountant needs to know that Bob Smith bought a p80 in Feb 2020 so he can keep the books straight, credit cards seldom list the specific items bought only the total of the sale. Considering how states weaponize this info to prosecute people keeping this info longer than what is necessary is stupid.
You can rest assured that every online purchase Bob ever made, including the build your own custom Fleshlight he bought in 2020 at the height of the pandemic, is recorded on a sales receipt.
Businesses that don’t keep records like that will be targeted by the IRS for money laundering or falsifying tax filings. Start up an 80% receiver business, keep no financial records of how you made your money, and let us know how it works out.
