Forgot to include this from the article:
“The ATF claims in the affidavit that around six of the guns Malinowski sold were found after being connected to a crime.”
Please don't take my comments here as a defense of the raid, or agreement with licensing requirements generally. But, with the laws as they are, this guy did everything you can do to attract attention.
Out of one hundred and fifty.
Hmmmm.
Does not exactly sound like, as some people are trying to portray here, that he was selling exclusively to criminals.
He might have been selling to ordinary people who did not want their names on government lists. Perhaps because when you are on a government list THEY RAID YOUR HOUSE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT AND SHOOT YOU.
So I can understand why people would not want to be on government lists.
Apparently to some here not wanting your home raided is absolutely unreasonable. They eagerly await their next hit of boot polish.
Which could mean some crack head CI police pet tries to mug you and you shoot back your gun is now "connected to a crime".
It was more like nine guns that have been previously used in different crimes, even as far as Canada
