No doubt with a Federally (taxpayer) provided attorney.
Buy cheap stack deep indeed
Probably sued in Federal Court as well. So anyone surprised the ATF guy won?
Not only did taxpayers cover his lawyer's fees, the settlement came out of state taxpayers pockets.
I’ve got no problem with ATF doing their job, but showing up at someone’s door step suggesting that they believe he might be straw purchasing guns with no basis other than that he bought more than one at once is pretty fucked up. I don’t think I would have been very nice to them and would have told them to fuck right off.
I can only imagine the list they have on me, the number of transfers I’ve done is probably in the 4 digits and they probably think I’m sitting on an arsenal when in reality I probably only own a dozen or two guns right now

How do you not have a problem with the AFT “doing their job” when their job is violating the bill of rights?
I have a problem with them simply existing.
Folks, go back and watch the video again. It was not the ATF that pursued this. They were simply there as backup because it's their jurisdiction if a federal law has been broken. That was a Delaware State Trooper on his porch asking questions.
It’s no longer available. Put it like this: last yr you could buy 50gallon drums of military surplus ammo. I’m not talking about pallets of boxed ammo. I’m talking 20k+ rounds. Some 50k-100k of ammo. You could buy 100s of thousands of rounds of once fired brass from surplus
funny they have funds to go backup but no funds to investigate cases on NICS backgrounds and who should shouldn’t legally own guns
You might want to watch it again yourself.
The guy asking is ATF, as is the blue shirt on yard. The other white shirt guy walking around on porch has State Police ID patches on his vest.
You a CI for AFT or something?
Proof of a US Gun Registry? That's easy! They started with a nice little carrot on a stick... (In K-Tel announcer voice) "Do YOU want an NFA item in 90? YES! 90 days?!? Well, eForms are BACK! Just set-up your ATF account! All you need is a username and a PIN! IT'S THAT EASY!!!"
Sometimes I wonder if we won't be doing that for Title 1s someday soon. Or maybe the tinfoil is a little tight? Six of one half a dozen of the other...

A what? No, I'm originally from Delaware and knew a lot of the important people as I hunted some exclusive farms with them.
Huh
County sheriffs, head of DSP and his family (mostly troopers), DA, lawyers, judges. I used to hunt and shoot competitive indoor archery with them. Crooked bunch from the get go. Stay on their good side and there wasn't an issue for you ever. Mention a name and the cop would hand you your license and insurance back and walk away.
I stand corrected.
This is why some states have passed laws preventing their law enforcement personnel from working with the Feds. The ATF guy has no legal standing to even be there absent the troopers..
