It's nothing more than an economic decision. If the guns cost more to sell due to licensing and record-keeping requirements, they don't sell them. This is typically at a state level.

I buy my guns from a local guy - I prefer the small dealer anyway. yeah, I pay a few bucks more, but I think it's worth the money to help my local economy.
