Mr 16.. I also had the BATF attempt stings on me in the past. It was not the state..it was the Feds and they were just looking for a way to shut the small dealers down. It really isn't like the medical field. ANYTHING you may do wrong even inadvertantly in the firearm field IS a FELONY. And now, when they do something patently wrong..uh..well ..it...uh... was....uh... just an anomaly..it was a way to find out where the guns go to?? Sheesh give us a break.. A right "bend" to Fox news? Even the El Presidente is trying to find a way to make this go away.. It isn't that Fox reported it with malice aforethought.. It was the truth unembelished..It's not like the medical field at all. People have died... partly from this operation. Telling a dealer to "break the Law" is wrong. Before I'd do what the dealers did in these instances, at the behest of the BATF, I'd have it in writing from the (useless) Attorney General of the United States. Then I would probably still refuse to do it. Am I lily white..no..but the BATF is more like the gestapo than a branch of the government working in the citizen's best interest.. Believe it or not..the government is not ALWAYS looking out for your best interests. This isn't cigarettes ...in fact if a kid tries to buy cigarettes..isn't he the one breaking the law??..even in a sting operation.. If I was selling him cigarettes and i asked him if he was old enough and he lied..who is at fault?? and if he did lie..wouldn't that make him a criminal??...Yep everyone has an agenda..from CNN MSNBC and Fox.. But it sure doesan't seem as though that Fox is trying to find a way to destroy your constitutional rights..I can't say that about the "mainstream media"...They really do seem to have a restrictive agenda..except in their own rights.
