This is the end of the line.

I will be dropping all of my pending federal firearms license applications as well as surrendering my already existing licenses. I will be closing down all of my businesses that involve firearms sales and manufacturing. I will never be selling firearms, nor magazines, nor ammunition, nor accessories.<br><br>I will be destroying my entire inventory as well. I've already been in contact with the ATF and local authorities to coordinate this.<br><br>I've been dropped by credit card processors. I've been dropped by payment processors. I've been dropped by banks. I've been censored repeatedly on social media. I've been protested. I have had people threaten to burn down my store. I have had people threaten to shoot up my store. I have had people threaten to kill me. My family and I have received death threats. My employee's families have received death threats. My landlord has received death threats. I've had Person A try to lure in Person B into a violent confrontation with Person C.<br><br>The end result is even if I want to, I could not legally sell firearms now. I don't have any payment processors or credit card processors to accept payment with. The ATF has so many complaints lodged against me that they are coming after my license. No bank will do business with me. They will not let me use the post office. I've had people come into my store and ask me to sell them a firearm, only to reveal that they are undercover.<br><br>This is what happens when you're a gun store owned by a mixed black man married to a hispanic immigrant woman. We're not "ONE OF THEM" to the left, and we're not "ONE OF US" to the right, because they don't think that brown people should be allowed to own guns.<br><br>I'm just done. I'm tired. I'm tired of the shitshow, the drama, the threats, the protests, being kicked off of everything, the loss of income. We've been attacked on so many fronts, I don't even know why we tried to keep going.<br><br>We did everything we thought we needed to do. We registered as an FFL. We registered as an SOT. We followed the rules. We got all the necessary permits. We got all the necessary licenses. We tried to fully comply with the law. We tried to follow the letter of the law. This is what happens when you do everything right. This is the modern United States of America.<br><br>&#x200B;
