Nope.

You go to the range, you pay the fee to rent it, you shoot it (and spend a lot of $ on ammo probably), and last but not least you post the video to your favorite social media site.

No. A Canadian broke into my camper once. This was him at gunpoint while we waited for the police (took about 45 minutes for them to get there)

No. I don't do gunsmithing. The ATF is potato and considers me putting a completed AR upper on a complete AR lower to be "Manufacturing:, requiring a Manufacturer's FFL...hence the 07

That and the ability to manufacture machine guns and SBRs

Between dealer cost and MSRP there is around 15%-20% markup depending on manufacturer and model. Some are less around 10%, some get close to 25%.

There is no money in guns

Perhaps you missed the part in the OP where I mentioned I was in the industry for 6-7 years before getting my own FFL.

Then again it's been a while so that's probably totally wrong.
Yes. The ATF considers me slapping an upper and a lower together and pushing in two pins to be "Manufacturing". so went the 07 route.

Here in Mexico you can only get .380 cal and under guns. No .380 special or super and other things like that. Which gun do you recommend me getting?

A beretta .380
A glock 42

Or which other is good for self defense.

Can you even get those? IDK anything at all about Mexico, but if you have access to a Glock 25, get that. Or a 42.

Or join the cartel and get a gold plated Tabuk and carve ultimo hombre into the stock.
