Actually enforcing laws already on the books, amazing!

Somehow I doubt it is about actually enforcing laws...at least not selectively. I predict political opponents will be more guilty than those loyal to the fatherland.

I love a good Strike Force, whether it be guns, vaccines...it just feels like you're doing something.

The problem is, are those of us that sell gun parts here going to be included as "gun traffickers"?

My reading of the article gives me the impression that while the focus may be on five certain cities, the idea is to reach back to source jurisdictions where the guns are purchased illegally. Like some of the southern states where buying a gun is easier. They are going to use the finer points of the law to prosecute, that is, use statements made on forms 4474 that are later contradicted in fact. At least that's how I read it.

I would be surprised if they don't consider members of gun forums and gun shows "gun traffickers", too.

Is the strike force aware that guns are commonly hidden behind cans of tuna and beef jerky?

I guess they'll be hooking up Hunter B... the most name-dropped felon who never made it onto their radar.

He's cleverly eluded capture thus far by disguising himself as successful.

Wonder if they will investigate "Fast and Furious" and put Holder and Obama in prison…

I won't hold my breath.

It is probably how it will start, but not likely how it will stay.
