Where the stores open is local zoning issue, not a problem for the ATF. I have read this guy's nonsense before, he doesn't have a clue.

The gun lobby has used appropriations riders to prevent the ATF and other law enforcement from properly regulating the sale of guns and investigating illegal gun purchases.
Not true, it has more to do with ATF culture of incompetence. Besides, criminals don't get their guns from dealers to begin with.
Limits on trace data could be used to crack down on bad apple gun dealers, but use of trace data has been blocked by Congress.
No, it limits the the amount to trace data released to nonLE.
