ATF v. Bloomberg

In the latest in Bloomberg’s sting against gun dealers (a summary can be found here), comes this:

William G. McMahon, special agent in charge of the ATF’s New York field division, announced Friday that the agency would review the intelligence gathered by the city and target any federally licensed firearms dealers who broke the law.

In a twist, ATF’s inquiry will also include a review of whether the city acted legally in setting up the sting.

Several gun-rights advocates have questioned whether the city itself broke firearms rules or committed fraud by attempting to simulate straw sales in other state

And:

Among the issues being explored: Did the investigators provide accurate information on ATF forms at the time of purchase and did they comply with laws requiring them to be residents of the states where they acquired the weapons?

My prediction: nothing will come of it. Special classes protect special classes.

    There is zero question that nothing will be done. You are absolutely right. There ARE different classes of folks.

    What mystifies me is that this kind of double standard can’t be used in a courtroom by one of us peasants under some claim of “equal protection under the law”. Probably the judges won’t let it be introduced.

    I dunno. The ATF doesn’t like other people horning in on their action. Bloomberg and the ATF may be on the same side of gun control, but if he stepped on the wrong toes he might get a smackdown to put him back in line.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
