As others have said many times, alcohol, tobacco, firearms, and explosives should be a convenience store, not a government agency.Greg Camphttp://gregorycamp.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-16339455136367626772012-09-02T11:00:41.495+02:002012-09-02T11:00:41.495+02:00"The terribly under-resourced and under-staff...<i>"The terribly under-resourced and under-staffed ATF makes these occasional busts, imagine what's out there. Imagine what they don't have the manpower to uncover." </i><br /><br />OMG we need MORE laws, OMG we don't have resources now, we need MORE money, OMG, somebody's not following the law, we need MORE laws, OMG, we"re short staffed now because of all the laws, we need MORE money.<br /><br />Looks like a vicious cycle and where does it end? I have a better solution, end the NFA, and the taxpayers of the US won't have to support a bigger government agency. Instead of having ATF agents sitting around the office all day long stamping paperwork for transfers and suppressors, they could be out there doing real work.<br /><br /><i>"What do you make of those shotguns? Does that mean he received them from some other source than a bona fide gun manufacturer? What could that be?"</i><br /><br />Anyone can make a short barreled shotgun, it's just supposed to be registered and yes, that means that he didn't receive them from a class three dealer. Chances are there's a confidential informant someplace in the picture that produced the shotguns.<br /><br /><i>"What do you think would motivate a licensed FFL guy to sell guns to convicted felons?"</i><br /><br />Greed, or a confidential informant, or both. <br /><br />OR, a different theory would be that the FFL got his FFL for the sole purpose of providing firearms to the illegal market.Bill Baldwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14372322870114949570noreply@blogger.com
