Rep. Jim Jordan is demanding information related to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms' (ATF) fatal raid on the home of airport executive Brian Malinowski.

Jordan, chairman of the Judiciary Committee, said in a letter that Malinowski's death coupled with the ATF's new recent rulemaking 'raises serious questions about the weaponization of the agency.'

quote:

Bud Cummins, an attorney for Malinowski's estate, released multiple clips from the Chenal Valley neighborhood the night of the raid, which the attorney claims took place while his client and wife Maer were sleeping and adds that it's not clear agents properly identified themselves.


quote:

The raid came at the same time the ATF instituted a new rule to close a loophole and require dealers to run background checks on buyers at gun shows and other places outside of brick-and-mortar stores.


For those who haven't been following this, something has seemed off from the very beginning.

I’m fairly certain that has already been to rule for a long time. Dealers with FFL’s have always had to run background checks since the Brady Bill, no matter where the sale was made.

The issue was sales between two individual gun owners who aren’t FFL holders.

More demands, too bad the GOPe gave up every bit of leverage when they passed the dems budget last month.
