I'll add this much - many internal changes have silently occurred inside ATF over the past few months. I have an attorney friend with several decades of practice, and a lot of casework representing FFL's versus ATF and occasionally individuals versus ATF.
He stated recently that he noticed a very serious change in the prosecution of cases where he is involved. During years past, the great majority of cases were set up as civil cases and prosecuted in civil court, but that within the past year or so, ATF has changed its practice and is prosecuting these cases in criminal court. Most of these cases involve FFL's and originate due to "too many" typos on the A&D, "too many" missing firearms not discovered until an audit by ATF, etc. How much is "too many"? There is no minimum/maximum value and the chargeable quantity is whatever they decide - straight from the lips of more than one (01) field agent who stated "it could just be one".
ATF is essentially unrestrained to write/change rules and enforce them with the strength of USC. From my observations over the years; very few people found guilty are ever sent to Club Fed, and if they are, it is usually with a reduced sentence. Many are sentenced as felons on a lifetime of probation and they walk away - ruined but otherwise free. It is apparent that their mission is to destroy you rather than incarcerate you, and they know that most people - even businesspeople - don't have millions of dollars and years of time to mount a successful defense. So until they are brought under control, if ever, watch your dealings and postings.
