I recently lived for six months in a place that had exactly this situation (indians sellin)...Fort Lauderdale

They don't fall under the act you're talkin about because they aren't required to collect taxes for the US Government because they are selling from within their reservation, technically a part of the (insert indian name here) nation. It is the same type of thing that makes an embassy on US soil actually a part of the parent country (or vise-versa).

As an example. Your average citizen can stand on the street in front of the (insert country name here) embassy, take a gun, and shoot somebody in the head. If they make it to the embassy property before the cops get em, there's nuttin the cops can do to em UNLESS THE EMBASSY PERSONNEL TURN EM OVER...to get em out any other way would involve extradition...weird huh?
