I have never understood why a UK dealer can't send (maybe through a licensed exporter) directly to a licensed importer in the U.S. who will then transfer it by normal means to the ultimate U.S. buyer. Why does all the import paperwork fall on an uninformed "man on the street"? Some U.S. dealers claim to be "agents" for UK auction houses. Why can't they receive guns for us without us getting involved with the dirty work?
