I repeat. I have never... EVER been contacted by BATF for any reason
whatsoever, and I have purchased in excess of two fireams within a week (hell,
on the same DAY - and yes, from the same FFL) on multiple occassions.

Any BATF agent that shows up unannounced on my doorstep had better have a
warrant. No warrant, no entry, it's as simple as that. It's called the Fourth
Amendment to the US Constitution.

Doubt if luck has anything to do with it. Multiple purchases in a specified
period of time does NOT constitute reasonable cause to assume straw purchases.
Without reasonable cause, the BATF will be unable to obtain a search warrant.
Without a search warrant, the BATF has no enforceable right to search, seizure
or interview.
