MINNEAPOLIS (KMSP) - Federal charges have been filed against the alleged “straw buyer” who purchased 3 shotguns through an online auction that were later given to New Hope City Hall shooter Raymond Kmetz. Michael Ronald Garant, 42, is charged with making a false statement to acquire firearms on behalf of another person.

Go watch the video of him going off on the city council. Bad blood there over something.
Lots of folks around here were scratching their heads when the locals let him go without charging him.
I said, “Just you watch and wait...the Feds are going to make an example out of this one. The locals are just getting out of their way.”
Yup, same thing I was thinking.
