[...] There it is. One little blurb with no substance. The residency checks are illegal. Also, there are allegations that the agents were telling neighbors of buyers that they were buying guns. More detail on that here and here. [...]

[...] I linked before to the story about the Richmond, ATF and VA State Police conducting illegal residency checks, in which they allegedly told family members and neighbors that folks were buying guns. I was skeptical until CNSNews picked up on it. Now, Ravenwood links to the smoking gun. Someone got a Freedom of Information Act request and that details that these residency checks have been going on since at least July 2004. Since he agents copied the names, home addresses and telephone numbers of the applicants, they broke the law. [...]

[...] Regarding the account of ATF and local authorities breaking the law and harassing gun show attendees, Eric notes the silence in the press. And points out it is eerily reminiscent of their complacence in other less than stellar moments of the ATF. [...]

The stations are 1120 am WKCE in Maryville and 1180 am WVLZ in Knoxville.

The stations are under new management and aren’t online yet.

That is extremely freaky and highly illegal. Jon’s right, they should be prosecuted if the stories are true.

Out here on the Left Coast, we had a police chief in Sequim (pronounced ‘Squim’ to annoy non-locals) walk into a gunshow and announce that only FFLs were allowed to sell at the show. This is contrary to WA state law (and in WA, state law preempts local laws on guns. This annoys Seattle quite a bit, I’m sure.) Case is currently before the state Supreme Court (Pacific Northwest Shooting Park Association v. City
of Sequim)

Fired?? They broke the law!
Arrested, tried, and prosecuted seems about right to me.
