Yes, but of the thousands of FFL, why this guy? Again, I bet there is a lot more to this story than the end result.
Perhaps there was some predicate that many/most of us would agree justified law enforcement activity.
Perhaps the owner’s ex-wife made up a bunch of stuff in a custody dispute.
Perhaps the feds didn’t like the shop owner’s politics.
Perhaps the feds are making an example of someone to intimidate others, on unsettled issues like “pistol braces” and “ghost guns”. A massive gestapo raid is a tell that this was for show.
The point being that the government does deserve the benefit of the doubt. They need to provide facts to the public immediately lest negative assumptions rule.
They have to start somewhere.
Until we hear the story, I’m assuming that is all it is.
“Yes, but of the thousands of FFL, why this guy? Again, I bet there is a lot more to this story than the end result.”
Same as any other stasi raid. Make an example of one to put fear in others.
