To coin a phrase: The only good ATF pig is a dead ATF pig.

[QUOTE]The agent allegedly had state police check Lalime's driver's license and learned that it was suspended. He said he was placed in the back of a police car and questioned by the agent while the suspension was investigated."He kept asking me all kinds of questions: 'How often do you buy guns? When do you buy guns? When was the last time you bought a gun? How many guns did you buy the last time you bought guns?'" Lalime continued. "All that is irrelevant and I told him that. I said, 'That's my personal business.'"
Lalime was released when it was learned that his license was valid and the alleged suspension was caused by a computer error. He went back into the gun show and told Gelles about the encounter and she suggested that Lalime get the agent's name.
When he found the agent, who identified himself as Special Agent Brian McComas, Lalime claims McComas tried to intimidate him.
"He said, 'You know you're making a big deal about nothing,' and I said, 'No sir, I am not,'" Lalime explained. "Then he got right in my face, almost touching his chest to mine, in real threatening posture, and said, 'You're making a real big mistake.'"
Lalime claims Swann interrupted the confrontation and the two federal officers walked away. "Once I got over the initial shock, it really made me angry," Lalime said. [/QUOTE]

Sure the crime of passion killer might go to a gun show to buy...but any sorts of professional criminals, with the exception of the mentally ill, :wacko: wouldn't buy a piece at a gun show crawling with plain clothes cops and informants.
I also seriously doubt that Pedro, Pablo, or Shauntez will be there buying guns for the gang or their homies. :afro:
What a waste of taxpayers money.

[size=3][QUOTE]
[size=3]According to the complaints he received, Van Cleave said officers were dispatched to the homes of the prospective gun buyers to speak with family members, asking for example: "Gee, did you know your husband was going to a gun show today? Do you have his cell phone number? Did you know he was buying a gun?
"If people weren't home they, in some cases, went to neighbors" to ask the same questions, Van Cleave said. [/size]
[/QUOTE] WTF? After reading stuff like this, does anyone still think they do not want to take your guns away?[/size]
