I have a friend who has a friend in AZ who bought two handguns in a period of 5 business days that got a visit from the ATF last month. They questioned said mutual friend about the purchases and mentioned a few other purchases he made in the past. All quality and relatively expensive semi-auto handguns and rifles. Their stated reason for the visit was his relatively younger age (lower-mid 20s) and lack of documented income. This mutual friend works and has most of his other expenses covered by his parents while he goes to school and uses most of his work money to buy guns and ammo and purchased quite a few over the past year. The ATF agents were polite and didn't make any direct accusations but it's clear they were there because they were suspicious that he wasn't buying the guns for himself but rather for the cartel or something. After a bit of talking he let them into his home and they checked out the guns he still had (he sold a few through legal private sales.) The agents asked him a few more questions then left and haven't contacted him again since. He was respectful of the agents throughout the visit despite being nervous. Said mutual friend bought all of the guns at the same FFL, is just a kid who loves guns and never broke the law in any way but the visit still concerns him. Is this kind of visit common in border states? What may be the result of such a visit? Does he have anything else to worry about or can he simply rest easy now that it's been over a month?
