ATF has said they will be investigating every aspect of these "sting" sales (and there were ATF people present who repeated that). This may be bad news for the city, since IF the sales were illegal straw sales, their investigators committed felonies.This is an interesting development, particularly the bit on how a gun apparently wandered away from the Only Ones' custody...Wonder if BATFU really has the guts and the administration backing to take on a billionaire Republican, though, and my gut says "no."
One gun was traced TWICE in NYC. The first time was for a crime, so it would have to have been confiscated. Only explanation for how it would later be on the street is that someone in NYC PD is selling seized guns on the street.
Prove me wrong--please.
It's not that I want to promote enforcement of existing laws. My goal in staying with this subject is primarily to expose hypocrisy and lawbreaking among those who think they're higher and better than sovereign citizens. That said, if Mikey or his minions take a fall on this, you'll see no tears shed here.
