Who’s surprised to see outcome equity collectivists are really hate-filled, psychopathic bullies out to destroy everyone who doesn’t prostate himself to them? What kind of suicidal fool would let them have any say whatsoever in their choices for arms?

Broader Questions
A Congressman’s Gun Store Is Linked to a Federal Trafficking Case. He’s Trying to Defund the ATF. [More]
Wait– so someone apparently straw purchased “more than 40 firearms from gun stores in the Athens area between September 2020 and July 2021 … at least 20 of those firearms have since been recovered by law enforcement, several in connection with violent crimes,” and “Among the firearms recovered was ONE [emphasis added] purchased at Clyde Armory, the Georgia gun store owned by Representative Andrew Clyde” and someone is trying to make the case that “rais[es] broader questions about conflicts of interest, regulatory oversight, and the intersection of private business and public office”…?
Really?
That raises broader questions with me about the motivations and political leanings of the author and his publisher:

News stories here. Guns and Gadgets comentary here.
It’s hard to believe an FFL intimately familiar with ATF oversight could be this stupidly self-destructive and risk all over such limited returns, and anyone who remembers the ordeal of the Reese family, and how the full weight of the government, lying witnesses, and frozen assets make an adequate defense nigh-on impossible, will have their skepticism meter turned to “High.”
I stipulate I just heard about this story and have no evidence to back that up. It’s just that I don’t have a high degree of confidence that ATF has always been a truthful source about U.S. guns to Mexico.

We’re All Suspects Now
Gun store owner says FBI asked him to check firearm sales against list of names, pics in Guthrie case… He said none of the names returned a match for firearm purchases within the past year. According to Martin, the agent told him investigators planned to visit additional gun stores to determine whether anyone on the list had recently bought a weapon. [More]
Why didn’t they just ask ATF?
What did Inspector Clouseau say?

The Non-Psychic FFL Loophole
Gun store owner says shooter who killed 2 schoolchildren showed no warning signs before attack… Westman had already passed the required background checks and had a valid permit to purchase the gun… [More]
So, if prior restraints thrown up by all the king’s horses and all the king’s men couldn’t stop him, what’s the point of saying the store guy didn’t catch any disqualifiers?
Ah, the old “You’re law-abiding until you’re not” argument the grabbers apply to all of us… And that gun manufacturers and dealers “knew or should have known”…

Our Hero!
This was a heroic action by the employee and undoubtedly saved who knows how many lives. [More]
So the position of the industry is “gun control” works but NICS needs a vigilante assist?
Doesn’t that also play into the hands of lawfaring gun-grabbers who argue dealers without psychic abilities are negligent and liable? And can they still do that if the person is the “wrong” color?
I note they’re prosecuting the guy for lying on the 4473. Guess he didn’t have the right dad.
