I just got home from the most disturbing sight I have ever witnessed.
Earlier today I tried calling the gun dealer that I have known and purchsed from for 4 years now. The phone was busy for hours, and when I did get through all I got was his answering machine. Very unusual.
I drove over to his shop and found the parking lot jammed with unmarked, tinted windowed cars, along with an SUV pulling a Mesa City Police trailer.
The shop door was propped open, not usual. Three men were standing outside the door, one black, one oriental, one white. All had "ATF" stitched over their left breast side of their shirts.
I parked, got out and walked through the door as though I knew what I was doing. Inside I saw 10-12 more ATF maggots handling the guns, writing things down and pulling things off of the shelves.
"What are you doing in here?" the voice from behind me asked. It was the black agent.
"Where's Mike?" I asked, stunned.
"He's not here. What do you want?"
"I came by to pick up a gun. Is he alright?"
"He's fine. You can pick it up tomorrow."
"He'll be open then?"
"He should be," was the response.
Well, we'll see. You may have an inkling of what was going through my head... Were those ratbastards armed? But of course! Every one! Because some people are more equal than others!
I'll stop by tomorrow.
I can't tell you how LIVID I am right now!
