Adams has not been charged with any crimes although Homeland Security said the investigation is not over yet.

Neighbors said Adams was a gun collector, and some heard he was a licensed gun seller, too.

This looks like a fishing expedition. That, or the feds were just doing some shopping.

Coming to a city and town near you. Collectors first then .... and no charges, (yet). I’m sure they will find a paperwork error somewhere.

“The search warrant also said Adams was investigated in Canada for keeping about 80 illegal guns in a storage unit. U.S. agents worked with Canadian police on that case.”

So this is probable cause....someone was investigated. So what. Was he charged? No. Another fishing expedition designed to thaward the 2nd amendment.

However, a bigger concern is that no markings on the guns and missing documents mean the guns are not traceable by law enforcement.

This statement really bothers me.

It just kills the feds that we don't have mandatory registration.

“Federal investigators confirm that. However, they’re also investigating him for possible gun smuggling, tax evasion and violating importation laws.”

A large volume licensed gun dealer and collector that’s been doing this for years... so what’s suspicious about this? Look what the feds collected in just a few months, without the correct paperwork I might add, in Milwaukee..

Court documents reveal federal agents were watching Adams for years and that some documentation was missing "to determine to whom Adams [was] selling or exporting his firearms."

We'll see.

And

However, a bigger concern is that no markings on the guns and missing documents mean the guns are not traceable by law enforcement.

Marked? Registry? You mean no serial numbers? Hmmmm serial numbers for pre-1968 guns were not required or are they now.

I read the comments under that article and this guy is a big time collector plus has a license to sell.

Believe this was done to warn us that the govn. can get your guns any time they want. Note they pulled in the IRS to “investigate” him.

Anyone who has a gun is subject to IRS investigation or give up your gun and IRS will go away. Expect that is the message here.

It’s another manifestation of fedzilla’s “CREAT-A-CRIME” program.

If these b*****ds want someone badly enough, there’s a “crime” tailor-made for the situation.

“... There’s no way to rule innocent men. The only power any
government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren’t enough criminals, one MAKES them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws.
......just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced nor objectively interpreted — and you create a nation of law-breakers — and then you cash in on guilt. Now that’s the system, Mr. Reardon, that’s the game, and once you understand it, you’ll be much easier to deal with.”

New Mexico again. After the case fell apart on them recently on another dealer, you would think they would learn.

This cannot be allowed to stand.

A surprisingly large number of people think owning a lot of guns is a crime. I am sure most of the Feds think it should be.

People collect all kinds of things...

It's nobody's business but their own.

Lemme guess. He’ll never be charged, it’ll take years to get only part of his collection returned and the most valuable guns will be scratched and scarred or just plain missing, maybe in some BATFags personal collection.
