I Want To See The ATF’s Probable Cause Affidavit For That Warrant

Seems the ATF surprised a Missouri sheriff with a raid on a local gun store. Only something of a surprise, really, since the ATF is out to shut down every FFL they can.

But one element of the cluster-f— was of special interest.

“They called me at 1 p.m., on Tuesday, and apologized for not telling me, saying they were not comfortable having too many people know about the raid before it happened. They were hitting several gun shops as part of an annual thing.” [emphasis added]

Judge: You want a warrant to raid an FFL? Let’s see your probable cause.

ATF: It’s May again.

Judge: Ah. Right. -signs paperwork- Have fun.

I want to see the warrant, probable cause affidavit, and the judge’s name.

  1. There may have been a time when warrants, probable cause, and government accountability had meaning, but even if that time once existed, it does not exist anymore.
