Update to the ATF acting criminally
CNS has done a follow up to their piece on the ATF doing illegal residency checks after a gun show:
According to a four page undated memo written by Virginia State Police (VSP) Capt. Robert G. Kemmler and obtained in a Freedom of Information Act request (FOIA), the law enforcement activities at the Showmasters gun show on Aug. 13-14 involved “the same method of operation as previous gun shows.
“The Department (VSP) has participated in numerous Gun Show Operations at the Showplace over the past year,” the memo states. “This is the first operation at the fairgrounds and the first operation that included the Henrico (County) Police Department.”
C&E Gun Shows holds several shows each year at The Showplace Exhibition Center, located inside the city limits of Richmond, Va. According to the VSP memo, gun show sting operations were conducted there on July 10-11, Oct. 16-17 and Dec. 4-5, 2004 and Jan. 15-16, March 5-6 and May 21-22, 2005. Nearly 1,000 man hours were dedicated to the activities.
According to the VSP memo, the gun show stings are part of “an active gang related firearm program to reduce the number of firearms being purchased (by) and transferred to prohibited persons who may be involved in criminal and gang related activities.
Here’s some background on the incident. Heads should roll. In fact, contact the Virginia Office of the Attorney General to voice your concerns:

And if you could, pass that contact info around. So far, the MSM has ignored the incident.
Demand prosecution and ask why nothing is being done.
