Former Bull's Eye Gun Shop Owners Sue ATF

The two former owners of Bull's Eye Shooters Supply in Tacoma, Wash., are suing the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) for revoking their license, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer reported Aug. 27.
The gun store was found to be the source of the rifle used by the snipers in last fall's Washington, D.C.-area shootings. The ATF revoked the firearms license of Bull's Eye owners Brian Borgelt and Charles Carr after finding numerous record-keeping violations.
The lawsuit filed by Borgelt and Carr claims that the violations that led to the license revocation were not committed willfully.
The gun store remains open under new ownership.
