This is a double edged sword so to speak. The under cover cop running a sting on drug dealers is a very far cry from these political hacks running a gun buy operation which is clearly intended to cast aspersions on law abiding gun owners.
I see what you?re saying, my analogy may not have been the best. The point I was trying to make is that right or wrong, the investigators were simply doing as instructed by higher ups in the government, which apparently makes it legal.
Simply it was a fishing expedition that failed miserably. Thankfully it did, otherwise even more politicians that can?t think for themselves would be screaming for more mandatory background checks.
One thing that really ticks me off, is how many more fishing trips the American people are going to have to pay for. That?s what should be criminal.
