“I don’t doubt that - the question is why did he do it?”

I didn’t read the warrant and just read that he bought and sold guns, presumably at gun shows. I don’t think that, in itself, is illegal. Maybe he “cut corners” on the legal paperwork.

As to why he did it… lots of guys have second part-time jobs or side small businesses to help support their family. Hell, when I was younger for a long time I worked a very early morning gig sorting packages for UPS before going to my regular job.

How he was doing it certainly ticked all of ATF 'S boxes for "being in the business" of buying and selling guns, which requires a license.He didn't do any paperwork, and advertised that to his buyers.

As I said up thread, he was paying full retail from GunBroker.com, and didn't seem to be selling for much more than that.

Even if he made $100 per gun, which seems high, that would have been around $15K, over a couple years. While he was making around $200K salary, in Arkansas.

Certainly nothing worth doing everything possible to get on ATF'S radar. His motive is the most suspicious thing to me.
