The "Gun Show Loophole" - An Interesting Twist



An interesting development in the ATF's Fast & Furious gunrunning scandal has brought to light another instance of the government's "do as I say, not as I do" attitude. It appears that George Gillett, who is up to his neck in the Fast & Furious gunrunning scandal  as the Assistant Special Agent in Charge of the Phoenix field office, utilized the much maligned - by the ATF and others - "Gun Show Loophole" to sell a personally owned weapon to an individual in Arizona. There is nothing illegal about the transaction, from one private citizen to another, but ironic in that the ATF has had a crusade to eliminate this type of sale since the 1990s.
