QUESTIONS PRESENTED 1. Whether the Third Circuit applied an improperly deferential standard of review in a de novo federal firearms licensing proceeding under 18 U.S.C. § 923(f)(3), when determining whether Petitioners “willfully” violated any provisions of the Gun Control Act? 2. Whether the Third Circuit, while imputing the alleged conduct of a former officer of a federal firearms licensee to the company and its new president, inconsistently and improperly denied them the same statutory safeguards and protections regarding licensing decisions guaranteed to that former officer under 18 U.S.C. § 923(f)(4)?
