Im as much a defender of the 2nd amendment as any conservative, but when you have an Iranian cross the border under false pretenses, giving ICE a false statement of why he is entering the country and later after the $30,000 weapons cache is discovered he tells Police he is a hunter, thats time for me to lower that 2nd amendment shield and ask what the Hell is going on?
He certainly is not bringing those weapons back into Canada , and there would be an Hunting license and game permit on record in Washington if he really was a Hunter. Too many lies to believe he is an honest gun collector and trader.

Hunt with a .50 cal? What?Actually, I'm not averse to hunting with a .50 cal. In my case it would be my Performance Center S&W 500 Mag revolver. That big old X-frame with a 440 hard cast is more than sufficient for most big game. The BFR revolver in 45-70 is suitable for moose as well. Big bore revolvers are one of my vices.

Who picked his wife up from the Bellingham store after he was arrested?
Why drive 4+ hours down to OR to pick up weapons (with no apparent bill of sale) from a non-existent “Police Supply” store? Wonder if that store has paid business taxes in OR?
Something tipped the Feds off that he was not entirely truthful, but having no probable cause they let him enter the country. And received permission to follow this perp into OR, so the investigators convinced a hire up to let them travel.
IMO, there was probable cause for the arrest, and for holding him based on false statements.
In spite of Holder, there is a reason that we can treat non-citizens differently than citizens.

I am shocked that there are so many here on FR defending this guy? The 2nd amendment is important to us all, but my God take the blinders off see the suspicious clues this Iranian is leaving. I’m not saying he is a terrorist, but laws have already been broken and its vital that the Feds know the whole story on this guy and the guy he bought the guns from in Oregon.

Looks like 5:30 to 6:30 hours based on Google maps.
Long ways past Bellingham.
Nothing illegal in visiting OR from Canada, but lying when entering past Border Patrol is enough to get one held up.

This guy stinks, and so does his "partner" at the (unlicensed) gun shop.

I've seen uppers for the .50 Beowulf at the Crossroads show at Weber State. The brass is rimless like a .45Auto with straight walls and headspaces on the case mouth. A simple taper crimp is used. A CCI 350 Large Pistal Magnum primer is standard. You can shoot the Speer 300 gr Gold Dot. That's my favorite bullet for plinking with the S&W 500 Magnum revolver. Suffice to say, I put a firm roll crimp on that bullet in the revolver. The Beowulf can launch a 530 gr DG steel tip at the upper end of the weight range. Having fired a 440 hard cast from a 20" T/C Encore 500 S&W Mag barrel, I wouldn't be anxious to try a 530 gr. The recoil would be oppressive and painful.

Not much to go by, but a By Appointment Only indicates a very low volume retail gun store.
And having a real estate agent down the hall receive packages that may contain ammo or weapons? Is that a violation of FFL rules?

I have a feeling the news story does not tell all. There was enough red flags for the Feds to follow this guy all the way to Oregon. That goes waaaaay beyond being “held up” at the border.

I recall paying about $1200 and waiting over 10 months to get that Performance Center Hunter Magnum. Later, I picked up the 460 S&W Mag version. That one needs a trip back to S&W as there was a recall on some of the German made barrels. No problem, as I picked up the 4" 460 Mag revolver. I like that very much. You must shoot bullets made for the pressures of 500 S&W Mag or 460 S&W Mag in either of these revolvers because of the compensators. The plated bullet will spin off the plating and spatter metal bits on your face and neck. Shooting proper ammo in a cold environment (+40F plus wind) rewards you with a stinging face from the muzzle blast. I like all 3 of those revolvers. There's nothing quite like hitting big steel spinners at 50 yards. The 460 is pretty flat out to 200 yds.

Many of them are determined to do whatever they can to kill Americans. This guy SHOULD be scrutinized.

Martha Stewart was grossly wronged. That doesn’t mean that the concept of innocent until proven guilty is dead or should be abandoned. Part of her problem was that she talked to the investigators instead of choosing to remain silent.

And here the defendant talked to a Federal Agent, they determined that he was lying and followed him.
He is in the country illegally, under an assumed name and possible false identity. Not Cool, At All.
The concept of innocent until proven guilty requires evidence and a chain of responsibility for said evidence.
If there is no evidence or they fail to secure the evidence, how then would our justice system maintain its reasonable integrity?
If the evidence were to mysteriously disappear because it was never in the custody of the Agents and a chain of custody was not maintained, then there could be no case and they would have to let the man roam free.
The Martha Stewart example was a joke and I had hoped you would see it. I personally don’t think lying to a Federal Officer should have the punitive effect of lying under oath.
But, there it is. The government had no case regarding her stock transaction and only pursued and prevailed on lying to Federal Agent.
Total Joke.
