No it doesn't make sense. Every FFL is given a packet of material by BATFE when they get their license. In that packet is a CD with ALL the laws/regs by state and city which impact the legal transfer of firearms. I know that it is likely that 99% of FFLs never break the plastic wrap on the CD, but the info is given to them to be compliant. Ignorance of the laws/regs/rules is totally willful by the dealers.
I'm sure nobody brought this up in court.
When I received my C&R FFL back in 1999, we received all the same materials that Dealer FFLs got back then (it was all books in 1999), so I have that book here in my bookcase and I can DL the latest version off atf.gov if I needed it.
