Two ATF arrests awaken theories of conspiracy

Twin brothers Dennis and Daniel Mahon, 59, were taken into custody by agents on firearms violations after arrest and search warrants were served at the Davis Junction, Ill., home.

Dennis Mahon was frequently mentioned as a possible suspect but never charged in connection with the April 19, 1995, bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City that killed 168 people, including 19 children.

ATF officials said the brothers were the subject of a sealed federal grand jury indictment handed up by a U.S. District Court in Arizona. They were taken to the Ogle County sheriff's office and are expected to be transferred later to the custody of the U.S. Marshal's office...

“hundreds of rounds of ammunition and purportedly racist materials. “

if this is correct, they are saying the parties in question had effectively NO ammo to speak of.

reading the entire article, the primary perp is not a good person and is potentially associated with the OKC bombing, the indictment is sealed and it is not clear what he is charged with, and given lack of gun charges, I doubt the weapons were class III but rather simply simply semi-auto evil guns.

I’ve got “hundreds of rounds” in my closet. Is that a cache now?

It’s a Federal offense to have hundreds of rounds of ammunition and racist material? Jeez. I’ve got lots of ammo and a copy of “Huckleberry Finn.” Am I next?

Dennis Mahon is/was known to be an FBI or ATF informant. Interesting that they are taking him down now, same time as Hal Turner.

I expect more people to be charged as the corrupt Obama admin tries to scare people into giving up their First Amendment rights.

Don’t let reality get in the way of an idiot’s perception.

If a few hundred rounds are that sinister, makes you wonder what the racist material was. Maybe a Bible?

Will be interesting to see what the charges are when theyre eventually unsealed. Until then theres nothing in the article that would lead one to believe these guys have committed a crime.

“agents seized assault weapons, hundreds of rounds of ammunition and purportedly racist materials”

Straight out of the Turner Diaries.

Question: What is the crime that may have occurred? I’m not seeing any crimes alleged in the excerpt.

The irony of the ATF still trying to implicate someone else.

The ATF agents did not report to work the day the Murrah Bldg
was destroyed by shaped charges.
