HOW do you challenge this? Is is being challenged under Bruen?
Is there ANY FFL that would risk their license transferring more than one firearm in a 30 day period?
What would happen if they did?
Finally, How does the state have ANY authority over a Federally issued License? The State can NOT take away my Securities License, they can revoke my state issued Insurance License, I would argue based on the 10th Amendment, States have no jurisdiction over any FFL, they CAN designate zoning and other laws to limit the business and maybe require a business license.
And under Shuttlesworth, v Birmingham AL should be able to exercise our rights with impunity when confronted with an unconstitutional restriction.
