Feds arrest Canadian gun dealer in washington

[Trlsmn]

If the dealer in Oregon was crooked, the buyer wouldn't need ID (fake or real). It's not impossible for an FFL to sell weapons without a background check; just illegal.

I would think if that happened we would have heard news of the dealer arrest too? I suppose that may be an in the near future.

I wonder if he was collecting weapons to ship to Iranian opposition groups. Remember all the protests there a few months back?

Could be the administration doing a favor for Aminawackjob in stopping the guy.

I think that's right. They arrested this guy on the charges clearly available at the time of the arrest, just to hold him. But I'll bet there are more to come. And his US contacts (including his FFL in Oregon) should be very very nervous. There may be a much larger international conspiracy involving Iran, but maybe not. Even so, it could easily be a "buy guns in the US and sell them in Canada" scheme. I could see the profit margin.
