Two agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and one state trooper from Delaware, who appeared to be warrantless, made a surprise visit to a man’s house wearing tactical gear and demanded the homeowner to show his newly purchased firearms, as first reported by Armed American News.
In a now-viral video captured by a Ring camera, the agent explained that ‘multiple sale reports’ are generated if someone made a purchase of more than two firearms at the same time.
“The idea is when you purchase more than two guns at a time, it generates multiple sale reports. It comes to us, and we have to check them out,” one of the agents said.
“The reason we’re out here is we’re obviously gun and violence [have] been an uptick, so we want to make sure… we’ve been having a lot of issues with straw purchases,” the agent explained.
“Straw purchase” occurs when someone makes a gun purchase on behalf of another person.
“All I’m doing is verifying that you have it, you got two different purchases,” the agent said. “If you have them, I’m out of here. That’s how quick it is. Yeah. Do you have them with you by any chance?”
That’s what they do. They would never go into black neighborhoods looking for illegal guns. The government allows people with multiple felonies including gun charges to walk around in public then go after legal gun owners. The Govt is not your friend.
I think that is a very good way to get shot.
First off…it’s not the agents fault this DOJ are sending them on these unconstitutional searches. 2nd, you aren’t compelled to offer them the time of day if you don’t want. If it’s that serious, they can get a warrant. While you can make their job easier by answering their questions, where does this end? The DOJ has been weaponized for the last decade against anything the left doesn’t like.
I know they know they were attempting to conduct and illegal search and seizure without a warrant. They also knew that their actions would be entrapment. They had paperwork so the weapon(s) were legal since they had the paperwork in their hands. My Police friends know they would meet resistance when they step on my property.
“All I’m doing is verifying that you have it, you got two different purchases,” the agent said. “If you have them, I’m out of here. That’s how quick it is. Yeah. Do you have them with you by any chance?”
Crazy demands being made.
