Arms dealers fall into the category of trusts and corporations.  In order to
make what is regarded as "destructive devices" according to the BATFE, a
special license is required to manufacture and sell such items.  There is no
individual right involved.  That is a ruse the anti-gunners have been trying
to use, saying the National Guard and centralized armoriesis what was intended 
other than individuals owning and storing private arms.  Having such permits
opens your doors to inspectors to veridy you are making and selling items
within the rules of your license level.  For example, if an AR lower receiver 
is made to 100% functionality, there is a window of time where it must be
marked and recorded in your inventory books.  A few years ago Stag firearms
was forced to shut down because of possessing un-documented recievers in
their assembly facility.  Their reason was they occasionally get custom
orders for special names or number runs.   Also, if a gun is made to order,
fails QA, and the lower was the culprit, they could serialize a replacement
lower with the same serial number of the defective lower (which is then
destroyed.)  While it's a good service, the BATFE didn't care.  They had to
jump through hoops to  re-open and part of that meant new owners who could
legally hold manufacturing FFL.
