Appearing bright-eyed in a gold tie and dark suit, the tall blond gun seller comfortably deflected Ferguson's suggestions that he might intentionally violate the law.
His attorney, Richard Gardiner of Fairfax, Va., would often mock Ferguson's attempt to probe Horsley's intentions, aiming to steal Ferguson's thunder.
"Were you doing that because you didn't care about what the law was?" Gardiner asked Horsley, who answered "no."
"Were you doing that because you were disregarding the law?" he asked again. Again Horsley answered in the negative.Ryan acquits himself well in spite of badgering by a US Attorney doing her level best to destroy his reputation and his family business.
Good grief, this entire fiasco is such an obviously overblown vendetta--let's just hope the judge sees through it--it's in his hands now.
I've talked to Ryan many times. This guy's a freakin' Norman Rockwell painting. He's like a boy scout, for cryin' out loud, the picture-perfect family man, responsible member of the community, just an all-around solid backbone-of-America citizen, and these...these power freaks are trying to paint him as some sort of shady slimeball intentionally loosing evil guns on the street. And because he didn't roll over and let them just crush him, they've pulled out all the stops.
I find it more than ironic that the opera

I find it more than ironic that the operative word used in this story is "indifference." Especially when the people committing the offense of "deliberate indifference" are the ones who swore an oath to uphold the Constitution and who continue to willfully ignore it.

Count on this: If Teddy Kennedy and his partner in advocacy, the "Vote Freedom First President" get their way, Maximum Mike will give America's gun dealers more of the same. And then some.
I wonder what the government in general and BATFU in particular has spent so far on this? Oh well, it's not like it's their money, and they can always get more.
