Huge gunshow in Atlanta tomorrow, guarantee some of those guns will be walking around the show.
First, they should make the list public, along with the s/n of every weapon.
I sure hope those firearms have been entered into the NCIC, and that dealers check used rifles bought and trade-ins against that.
This could be a 'stolen goods' setup to snare unwitting dealers or even private buyers.
It isn't a 'sting' if the police aren't the ones selling the guns.
Possession of stolen property is a crime. Yet how can an honest buyer tell if something is stolen?
As mentioned, even a dealer may have some of these by now, and has no way to check them. Lots of used guns on the market on any given day.
