This guy was asking to get raided.
I don’t doubt that - the question is why did he do it?
It’s likely he was selling guns that showed up at crime scenes.
Local police would trace the guns for sure.
That’s likely how the ATF got involved.
Forgot to include this from the article:
“The ATF claims in the affidavit that around six of the guns Malinowski sold were found after being connected to a crime.”
IF ATF is not lying?
