This is why there is a problem with illegal sales

Recommended Posts

These 2 guys conspire to sell over 200 firearms to prohibited persons or just circumventing already strict existing law and both get at least according to potential penalties a slap on the wrist.

Man, the dude breaking all the gun laws got 18 months.  The drug dealer got 12 years.  This was after they linked several of these guns to homicides and other crimes. They both should've got more prison time than that. 

A more subtle fact that is just as interesting in the article is that the ATF launched the investigation because the guy legally purchased 300 firearms in a 2 year period.  Part of me wants to know why the number got that high before he was investigated, but then part of me is upset that the number of purchases is something that can trigger an investigation.

never should have been investigated if bought legally.  That alone should have resulted in the case being shot down imho

I could see if the guns they recovered at crime scenes or in the hands of criminals committing crimes were all traced back to him and that was what led to the investigation, but the article said it was launched based on the number of purchases.  They should not be investigating people based simply because they are exercising their 2A rights.

Majority of this stuff is either new or like new. Like I said feel free to message me with specifics. I will try to update with a list when I have more time.   To be continued: Will post list and ammo.
    • You’re right.  It’s totally the pedestrians fault for being pedestrians on a pedestrian-only road.  They definitely should have moved to the gravel so that the illegally-driven ATV could safely illegally drive.      The reason there was no time to stop is because of the speed of the illegally driven ATV.     The legally walking pedestrians were in less danger with the mass of the car in between them and the illegally driven ATV.     Sure, he could have set up further back but then the pedestrians would not have been behind him.  Hard to protect pedestrians from the ATV when they’re both in front of you.    And how do you know his emergency lights were off?
    • It's physically a 2 lane road where there was plenty of room to avoid the pedestrians. Including the "parent and child" that were literally on the roads edge. The camera is a fisheye, and the ATV was much closer than it looked coming around the curve and there was no time to stop. The cop caused the crash and injury while further endangering pedestrians. This could have been handled differently, without injury. E.g. He could have set up further back and turned his lights and sirens on and gave the ATV time to stop. Again, illegally riding an ATV is a fineable offense, that's it. Does not justify lethal force by auto.  I hope he sues and wins. 
    • It's not really a road. It's supposed to just be open to pedestrian traffic. "Farnum Drive has been open to just pedestrian traffic since 2020. A large number of people, including families with children, were in the area." Voy beat me to it.
    • Thanks for this.  It wasn’t clear from the video that it is a pedestrian path.  It looked like a dual use back road.   It wasn’t a street.  It is a paved pedestrian path.  There is no expectation by those using it of any vehicles. What would a cop be expected to do if a dirt bike was careening down a busy sidewalk in the city?   Second, the police car had stopped.  Any force in this equation LITERALLY came from the ATV.
