>>>Feds arrest convicted *MURDER* who provided gun that killed McNair<<<
Is the guy who proofreads the White House press releases moonlighting at SI.com?
To: LRS
Yep. Get rid of all the guns....
What was a convicted murderer doing OUT of prison, selling guns???
We need more guns to protect ourselves againts these slimeballs that the court system can’t seem to control.
But they sure want to control you and me.....

“Feds arrest convicted murder who provided gun that killed McNair”
So the gun that killed McNair was transferred illegally? Whatever happened to the availability of cheap firearms that the gun grabbers are always whining about?

It figures that he was from Florida and out roaming free.

I hope someone digs up more info on the guy. I would like to know if he shouldn't have been confined permanently in “Ol’Sparky”...

Exactly. Initial news reports seemed to indicate that the girlfriend had purchased the gun legally.

Initial news reports seemed to indicate that the girlfriend had purchased the gun legally.Yes. That is how I understood it. That she purchased the gun 2 days before she used it on McNair.
You think that will be corrected in the press? Me either...........

More importantly IMHO, from the end of the article: "Though the gun sale in question did not involve a licensed gun dealer, the ATF recently warned all gun dealers in Tennessee that they must still comply with federal gun laws despite a new state law aimed at easing such requirements for weapons manufactured and sold in-state."
Could a knowledgeable freeper splain this to me, so I don't make a spare tinfoil hat? I mean, I'm assuming all dealer transactions are stored somewhere in DC now....but I may be wrong.

If anyone has any questions about what's wrong with our criminal justice system, just ask yourself why some @sshole who was convicted of murdering someone was out on the street 16 years later.
I'd be curious to know WHEN he was released from prison in Florida.

According to the article
here, he's been out at least a year to a year and a half, and living in LaVergne, TN (just south of Nashville). Haven't found anything prior to that yet.
