WTH?
It has begun.
Cynical I am maybe, but I give high odds on a harassment operation meant to make the Bummer government look good (and BATFE may have even said the time was not ripe for such a raid and gotten overruled), rather than any “smoking gun” (pardon the pun) having been found blaming the fellow for genuine wrongdoing.
Maybe they were so busy watching him that they had no time to catch all those walked guns before they went to Mexico. Yeah that’s the ticket.
Even if he is found innocent, the guns will be destroyed before he can get them back.
OK, we need usable definitions for the various configurations of short guns.
they’ll figure out the charges later. what’s the difference? with all the effing laws on the books they’ve made the law-abiding into criminals.
i wish the people down there would have given it to the confiscators.
Believe it or not we actually used to have people called Attorney general’s that would stop FELONY KIDNAPPING and FELONY ARMED ROBBERY CRIMES like this, especially when the perpetrators are Government Employees. Nothing prevents the STATE from Prosecuting every last person involved. Arrest them, remanded without bail, General Population, hell your local County DA could do it also. No charges?? No Allegation of a Crime , can you say BOGUS Warrant?? And people wonder why I would trust the average criminal gang banger before I would trust ANYONE WITH A BADGE.
Remember last year, when they busted all those old guys in Michigan (I think), saying they were violent militia guys? There were maybe 100 charges or more.
They got off SCOTT-FREE, they had done nothing wrong at all.
They were just some guys who frequented some local range —that’s it.
MORE OF THE SAME, I’ll bet. He’s probably a great guy, and law-abiding.
I thought sheriffs' departments weren't going to do the sort of thing.
Gun smuggling is under BATFE, tax evasion under IRS, and import laws is under ICE.
Why the hell is DHS doing the raid and not the respective departments if this guy was actually being investigated for any of these probably fake charges.
Charges? We don’t need no stinkin’ charges.
I’ve been censored ONE time here at FR, and at the beginning of Obama’s first term I raised this question:
“Can anyone name a prominent African leader —anywhere, and in all world history— who did not turn out to be a dictator and thief...?”
And the answers I got were MLK, Mandela, and some Ethiopian from 300 years ago, or something.
Can u add to my list? Cuz Obama and his henchmen are NOT on it....
"I hate America, I hate you, and your mother is a street walker."
When are we going to arrest the REAL GUNRUNNERS?
They say they bagged up the guns on the law as EVIDENCE.
Evidence of WHAT?
They investigated him for YEARS, but do not even now know? That is puzzling.
Actually it’s ARBITRARY AUTHORITY, which is dictatorship.
I once had a briefing on a sensitive subject, and before the briefing began, the briefer put up an unusual illustration.
It was of the head of a yawning baboon, its long, sharp, upper canine teeth descending two ropes, on which was a swing, with a little girl swinging on it, into and out of the baboon’s mouth.
He said that the baboon represented the media, or the government. “And you represent the little girl on the swing. As long as the baboon is bored and yawning, you can continue to have fun. But if *anything* attracts the baboon’s attention, it will no longer be bored, stop yawning, and it will be the end of you.”
He said that this is an important lesson in life. For no matter what you are doing, you should go to great lengths to never catch the attention of the baboon, or it will make a meal out of you.
Any damage to any gun, mark it SOLD to the Federal Gun Runners! Police regularly mark guns that are taken as evidence, in this case, that would devalue his inventory.
(Don’t take a check, and every day you until the goods are returned and restocked, charge a days worth of wages.)
Then comes the libel suit...
What a waste of Government Money, they had this guy under surveillance for TWO years!!!
I'm right towards the end of a re-read of Unintended Consequences.
