At the time, Lone Wolf Trading Co. was known among gun smugglers for selling illegal firearms. And with Soofi's history of misdemeanor drug and assault charges, there was a chance his purchase might raise red flags in the federal screening process.
Inside the store, he fudged some facts on the form required of would-be gun buyers.
What Soofi could not have known was that Lone Wolf was at the center of a federal sting operation known as Fast and Furious, targeting Mexican drug lords and traffickers. The idea of the secret program was to allow Lone Wolf to sell illegal weapons to criminals and straw purchasers, and track the guns back to large smuggling networks and drug cartels.

MORE proof of the "two sets of laws" reality in today's atmosphere of freedom and liberty in the USA.
ReplyDeleteIf "we, the people" provide someone with a weapon that is used in the murder of a federal law enforcement officer, we would be lucky to survive the 25 man SWAT team that attacks at 4AM to arrest us.
Bond would be something none of us could afford and we'd end up in prison. 25-Life.
UNLESS, you are IN CHARGE of the weapons. And work for the government.
As a law enforcement official. Who took an oath to uphold the law.
And society wonders why there is such animosity, disrespect, and disdain for authority figures. The people aren't blind. So, tell me, which government official is in prison now? Maybe, just arrested, at least??
"Two sets of laws" has brought down entire civilizations. And it is brazenly and openly demonstrated in THIS society every day.
Have I mentioned stocking up on guns and ammo?
Keep cheering!
