2023-07-26 18:48:03 UTC - MISINFORMED_OR_POTENTIALLY_MISLEADING

The ATF site has a list of all FFLs. The data from June 2023 shows 51,102 FFL Type 1 licenses (4,560 of which are duplicates). These are the licenses commonly associated with a "gun dealer". By including all other license types the number posted is inflated and misleading. https://www.atf.gov/firearms/listing-federal-firearms-licensees

Original Tweet

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1684260875522146305

Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
