The problem is that after Bush 43 took office, the number of FFLs declined approx. 17,000 from 2000 through 2008 and the slope of that decline over 8 years matched the last 4 of Clinton's But you misrepresent the obvious decline in FFL's under Bush as flattening out. A demonstrable misrepresentation.
