ATF SWAT Team Raids Part-Time Oklahoma FFL’s Home, Confiscates His Guns

[Two Gun Warrior]

The 1985 MOVE bombing, locally known by its date, May 13, 1985,[2] was the destruction of residential homes in the Cobbs Creek neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States, by the Philadelphia Police Department during a standoff with MOVE, a black liberation organization. Philadelphia police dropped two explosive devices from a helicopter onto the roof of a house occupied by MOVE. The Philadelphia Fire Department allowed the resulting fire to burn out of control . . . Six adults and five children were killed in the attack,[4] with one adult and one child surviving. A lawsuit in federal court found that the city used excessive force and violated constitutional protections against unreasonable search and seizure.[5]

Just another one of the untold number of "Mistakes made" by law enforcement - you know, the ones that NEVER seem to change their tactics though they always try to reassure the public that they have, with phrases like 'more training implemented' or 'are reviewing our policies' or 'a thorough investigation ongoing'.

Who made the movie? Hollyweird

A little over 10 years ago I had an ATF agent show up at my house out of the blue. I am not, nor have I ever been, a FFL holder. I was doing some extra IT work on the side at the time. I got paid in a few installments, and went gun shopping over the course of 2 months. Apparently it was enough to flag me in their system. They came by and asked me why I had been purchasing so many firearms (it was around 4 or 5 over 2 months). I told them because I had the money, all of them were for me, purchased legally through an FFL, and that they were all in my safe if they wanted to see them. The agent seemed nice enough. He didn't bother looking at them and explained that there is a threshold for 'X' amount of guns over 'X' amount of days and it flags you in the system.

My next several gun purchases after that were private, lol.

That's why it's better to not buy multiple handguns at once, don't want to trigger their multiple handguns form.

OKLAHOMA CITY – Rep. Justin Humphrey, R-Lane, today submitted a letter to the state's attorney general, to the sheriff of Pushmataha County, to the governor and to other judicial and law enforcement agencies asking for an investigation into an alleged raid by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) on a Pushmataha County resident and business owner that resulted in the forfeiture of the man's federal firearms license.

Humphrey said he was contacted by Russell Fincher, who lives and owns a firearms business in Clayton, who said his home had been raided by about a dozen ATF agents who coerced him at gunpoint into signing pre-prepared paperwork to terminate his federal firearms license. Fincher said his 13-year-old son was present during the raid.

"If this report is true, and I have every reason to believe it is, then it would appear the ATF’s actions constitute a gross misuse and abuse of their federal police powers."

Humphrey said he knows Fincher not only as a business owner in his House district but as a schoolteacher and a pastor.

Humphrey said another matter of concern is that one agent is reported to have told Fincher, “Tell your firearms buddies we are coming after them.”

"This seems an obvious illegal threat," Humphrey said.

Humphrey, the chair of the House Criminal Justice and Corrections Committee, said he has helped pass legislation that allows law-abiding citizens the right to constitutionally carry firearms and that state that Oklahoma county sheriffs should not allow the illegal seizure of such firearms by federal agents.

He is asking those to whom he's reaching out to investigate whether ATF agents abused police powers to force and extort Mr. Fincher into terminating his federal firearms license and whether agents made threats toward all Oklahoma firearms dealers.

"As an Oklahoma state representative, I believe I have a duty and obligation to declare our state should not allow the intentional and egregious actions of Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to deny Oklahomans of their rights to own and carry firearms," he said.

A copy of the full letter is attached.

I think all FFL’s should be forfeited. You shouldn’t need one to make a living off of our God given 2A.
