Lawyer representing man killed by ATF says raid might have occurred to support new Biden regulation

Federal investigators alleged Malinowski violated federal gun laws by operating as a firearm seller without the proper licensing, a Federal Firearms License, or FFL. 

Arkansas Attorney Bud Cummins, who is representing the family of Bryan Malinowski who was killed by ATF agents in a raid, suggested Tuesday that the raid might have occurred to support a new gun regulation from President Joe Biden. 

"As bad as that story I just told is, it's even worse if it's politically motivated," Cummins said on the "Just the News, No Noise" TV show. "The gun show loophole, that's what gun control people call it, is the right of hobbyists and collectors to sell their firearms at gun shows without licenses."

"President Biden was about to roll out, and did roll out, in April, his new regulation where he took credit for personally closing the gun show loophole," he added. "It appears that this raid might have been coordinated to support that announcement."

Malinowski was the local administrator of an airport in Little Rock, Arkansas. Earlier this year, federal agents showed up to execute a search warrant in his home, leading to a standoff which resulted in Malinowski being killed

Federal investigators alleged Malinowski violated federal gun laws by operating as a firearm seller without the proper licensing, a Federal Firearms License, or FFL. 

Cummins argued the use of deadly force was likely unjustified given the circumstances.

“As part of his hobby of collecting, buying, and selling various items Bryan occasionally set up a table at local gun shows where he mainly displayed guns and coins. In Arkansas a private seller may legally sell a firearm without holding a federal firearm license (FFL) and without filling out forms or conducting background checks,” Cummins said in a statement at the time.

This whole thing stinks. The Feds could have easily arrested Malinowski at work. But, no. They had to go all Rambo and hit his door at 6 AM. A fair argument can be made that Malinowski thought it was a home invasion.

And by the way, where did Malinowski work? He was executive director of the Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport.

Quite the coincidence, eh?

The government (FBI/ATF et al) are very proficient with these ‘show-of-force example raids.’ Ruby Ridge, Waco, and many more smaller, less publicized ones.

“The second video shows agents approaching the front door of the home where one officer applies what appears to be tape to obscure the doorbell camera on Malinowski’s home.”

So that they can hide evidence.

I had a strong suspicion that this was what happened.

G Gordon Liddy was spot on when he named them JBTs (Jack Booted Thugs).

Nothing built with taxpayer money should be named after living people, especially not politicians, doubly especially not disgusting people like Bill and Hillary. Just my opinion.

I totally agree. We fought a revolution to get rid of royalty. But now we treat our politicians not as regular people, but as royalty.

It’s worst with presidents. Fancy flags, fancy seals on podiums, ‘Hail to the Chief’, etc. No thanks.

See previous comment about him thinking that this was a home invasion. They wanted to maintain the element of surprise, so that he would not know who was at the door.

Liddy also had good advice dealing with their wearing body armor.

unconstitutional agencies need to be defunded. those good honest employees of the unconstitutional agency with the police state agendas/tactics, can be offered honest jobs in other agencies.

Best shoot first and ask questions later when it comes to the Feds.
