I am totally shocked that it took the ATF so long to do something about them to be quite honest. It was no big secret that they sold all types of illegal fireworks from "Under the counter", and there were many Highland Township, and Oakland County law enforcement and fire officials that would buy their goodies there! Gabe, the owner, is a former Oakland County Sheriff's Department reserve, and they let him get away with murder! It was a clearing house for guns, and they were operating on a temporary license for years, for violations that are easy to find using public information resources. If you go to Oakland County's web site, you can look up law suits of people who died as a result of Gun Barn firearms sales. They didn't care who they sold to, or what they sold, as money was king! I hope they have the book thrown at them, and North Oakland County will be a much safer place!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4420740688947057.post-28556967463305680962008-09-06T10:03:00.000-07:002008-09-06T10:03:00.000-07:00Rudy, the idea of using taxpayer dollars to buy of...Rudy, the idea of using taxpayer dollars to buy off the inventories of gun dealers who have put the public at risk by repeatedly violating federal laws doesn’t make much sense to us.<BR/><BR/>Nor does the idea of having ATF sell guns at auctions or gun shows. ATF is charged with enforcing our nation’s federal firearms laws against FFLs and others. Putting them in the business of dealing firearms would be a textbook example of “conflict of interest.” <BR/><BR/>The larger point, of course, is that a corrupt dealer who has shown no regard for federal law or the public’s safety is not <B>entitled</B> to make any profit from their remaining inventory. These dealers should be put out of business immediately and permanently and ATF should confiscate their remaining firearms. - CSGVstopgunviolencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11806648144323303424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4420740688947057.post-46091755130785747552008-09-04T16:39:00.000-07:002008-09-04T16:39:00.000-07:00Why can't the ATF just buy the guns in inventory f...Why can't the ATF just buy the guns in inventory from a gun dealer they are closing down? If they buy the guns right then and there the ATF can then sell those guns at an auction or gun show. The ATF would be doing two things at once, one, closing down an FFL dealer, two, making sure the FFL dealer doesn't sell firearms to criminals and or to trafficers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
