Concur with IOI redacted recommendation of Revocation. It was disclosed through this inspection that this licensee willfully violated the Gun Control Act by falsifying redacted ATF F4473s and disregarding his responsibility to dispose of firearms in the A&D Record to other ATF licensees but failed to record the disposition of redacted firearms to non-licensees during the inspection period with the exception of redacted isposition that was properly logged out (to a non-licensee). In addition to th redacted firearms that were not logged out redacted firearm was determined to be missing. Prior to the close of the inspection, the A&D record was reconciled and the missing firearm redacted ported in accordance with the regulations. This licensee was cited for the same or similar A&D violations in 2006 and 2007 and the licensee demonstrated compliance and knowledge in the following inspections conducted in 2008 and 2010 as no violations were cited. Therefore, it is reasonable to believe that this licensee knew the legal requirements as a Federal firearms licensee as it pertains to the requirements of the A&D Record and demonstrated willfulness by being plainly indifferent to his known obligation. This licensee had redacted successful traces for the inspection period. This licensee does also have a repeat violation for 478.102(a) that was cited in the 2006 ATF inspection however; mitigating circumstances may be considered as the transfer involved failing to conduct a background check on a firearm transferred to a responsible person (on this license) on redacted occasion. In the instances cited for 478.102(a) during this inspection, the licensee failed to complete redacted background checks.
Concur with Revocation. Licensee falsified redacted 4473 and willfully discontinued recording in its A&D book the transfers of firearms to non-licensees.
