To Get or Not to Get

MY FFL
I've debated on getting my FFL for the past year or so. My Pro's VS Con's run about 51% Con and 49% Pro... My breakdown is pretty simple... I don't know if I would do a lot with it.. VS The possible hassle of dealing with BATF.... A little background and also why I'm starting to lean more towards going for it.
Currently I am both an LTC instructor and run a small home based business selling amongst other items laser engraved and cut gun accessories... Grips, base plates, etc... I'm already setup with my business including website, yada, yada.. So getting my FFL doesn't require much background work to get setup... Quick application, fingerprints and pretty much done.
ATF is pretty clear that if your going to get your FFL it's NOT for personal use. No real problem there, I can throw out that I do FFL transfers and maybe even scrounge up some used firearms and put them up for sale.. Pretty much puts me as a legitimate FFL... And with my websites already dedicated to firearms training and accessories it's a no brainer....
Now to the crux of the matter... What is driving me over to the PRO side.... Our lovely new POTUS and his henchmen.... All anti-gun and want to restrict more of our rights... I'm thinking that by emersing myself more into the industry may help on a personal level if you know what I mean.. Better legal access to items... Nothing nefarious at all, just more embedded....
So.. That's where I am.. Just looking for thoughts and maybe some wisdom from anyone who is or was were I am...
