How many handguns can a small poor rural Georgia gun shop hope to sell?
When the numbers from filled orders pop out at you like a pair of boobs at the beach, you bet they know and notice.
Don't defind the undefenable, it's shows poorly on you.
I'm sure you can watch the CBC TV show on-line, it's part of the Fifth-Estate series.

You present a moving target here, Kach. Your initial assertion was that the
manufacturers "know" that these shops are selling to criminals. Granted, the
FBI "knows", and has data to back it up. You are making a massive non-sequitor by asserting that the manufacturers must then also "know". That is only the conclusion of the hand-wringing anti-gun ninnies that put this show together.
The FBI has both the authority and the charter to go after these kinds of shops. They need to do that, and with a vengeance. As a gun owner, I would love to see it. If they have enough solid evidence they will certainly do so. Yes, they do need more evidence than the reactionary idiots that tell guys like you how "obvious" this is. Believe me, if they had it, they would use it.
Regardless, the onus should not, nay cannot, be shifted to the manufacturers. As long as a dealer is Federally licensed to sell, the manufacturers would have no reason not to do business with them. Regardless off the news media hype and tripe you swallow so eagerly, these manufacturers really have no way of "knowing" a dishonest shop is knowingly selling to criminals. Their "notification" to quit selling to such a shop comes in the form of a revocation of any given shops' FFL. That happens after the authorities do their job.
So no, I am by no means "defending the indefensible". I'm calling bull***** on a weak, contrived accusation levelled at gun manufacturers. Seedy dealers do not equate to seedy manufacturers. I'm calling bull***** on an effort to smear them as complicit in knowingly supplying criminals with guns. One that you have apparently bought into. Sorry Kach, but that reflects rather poorly on you, now doesn't it?
