This is one of those stories where you really find yourself with "mixed emotions"...
..... sorta like watching your mother-in-law driving your new car off a cliff.
I say taser them all.
As for the ATF agent. What goes around comes around. Since when does the ATF enforce the laws regarding felons/etc. having firearms? I thought it was local LEOs who did that?
Like many organizations, there are good and bad people in the ATF.
Well in my mental picture of the event, the ATF fella was less cooperative and more arrogant than he needed to be. Sometimes folks pick the hard way instead of the smart way.The curious part is why it took the local police hours to verify the agent's employment and release him. If that's true then I could see the U.S. attorney filing federal charges against the cops for interfering with a federal agent.
The article references another story as well. It appears this particular ATF agent had a penchant for buying expensive wine but ringing it up in the self checkout lane as $5.00 per bottle cheap wine. Makes me wonder if he's flying solo and under the radar collecting firearms from "prohibited" people and adding them to his personal collection. Might be a stretch, but if he's willing to rip off the local Kroegers, would he necessarily be above adding to his collection off the books?
