The employee said William Weiss was at the shop buying three firearms
for $6,000 in cash, using $20 bills. Olson and other agents hurried to
the store and spotted two men loading the guns into the rear of a blue
Volvo hatchback with California license plates. The weapons were a
.50-caliber Bushmaster rifle and two .22-caliber pistols.
The agents went to work. They found that William Weiss carried dual
driver's licenses, in Nevada and California. He listed his address on
Rustic Oak Court in North Las Vegas. When the owner of the Rustic Oak
Court property told Olson he had never heard of Weiss, the agent was
sure he was on to something.
Agents questioned employees and checked sales receipts at a number of
local gun stores and discovered that William Weiss had purchased 19
firearms on 13 occasions since December 2008�including four pistols on
the day he received his Nevada driver's license, Olson said.
The agent next checked a U.S. Customs database and found that William
Weiss had crossed into Mexico the day after buying the Bushmaster and
pistols�and that the Volvo had crossed the border 25 times in the past
two months.
By June, Olson and fellow agents were tracking the Weiss brothers. Now
William was driving a Jeep Liberty with Mexico plates. He purchased
two more firearms�another Bushmaster and a 9 mm pistol from a North
Las Vegas pawnshop. He also again falsified the ATF disclosure form by
using the phony Rustic Oak Court address.
=====================================
Why go to all this trouble when you can get EVERYTHING you need at a
gun show, no questions asked?
Or so we're told........
Because - in reality - not much stuff at all sells at shows, something
painfully evident to dealers and to anyone with eyes to look at the
invariably-one public exit.
And one key reason not much sells at shows is the only stuff you can
buy is what ALREADY is there; it's hardly like shopping for weeks for
a favored hard-to-find model on GunBroker and then having your local
dealer do the transfer.

You can get everything at a local gun show. I recently sent the wife to
pick up two Kimbers, one Barrett, two loaves of bread and a gallon of milk.

-------------------
Not much is selling at shows across the board - gun shows, art shows,
antique shows, flea markets..... Sales are way down across the board.
If just ONE is sold like this at gun shows it proves what I said
months ago (and what klaus denied then).
ALL hand guns must be registered.
ALL hand gun owners must be licensed.
It WILL happen
The tide is turning.
The only thing I haven't been able to get yet, is a pulsed plasma rifle in a
50 watt range.
Last time I went to a gun show, they had a special on fried chicke, BBQ ribs
and red peppers
The onions were cheaper at Walmart though....:-))
Damn, you should attend a gunshow in Arizona. They do have one problem,
however, that is yet to be resolved. They cannot fire on any day that
does not end in "y".

Let's see if I have this healthcare thingy right. Congress is to pass
a plan written by a committee whose head has said he doesn't understand
it, passed by a Congress that hasn't read it, signed by a president who
hasn't read it, with funding administered by a Treasury chief who didn't
pay his taxes because he didn't understand TurboTax, overseen by an obese
Surgeon General and financed by a country that's nearly broke.
What could possibly go wrong?
Do atomic bombs come in that size? I was told I would have to take
hydrogen bombs if I wanted them that big.
