I have been following this story myself for a while, but this is my first time to post about it. The ATF has targeted out multiple gun shows in Virginia and confiscated weapons purchased legally, in addition to going to gun buyers' families and neighbors and asking them if they knew that the buyer was at a gun show and was buying a gun. This is a major invasion of privacy and a total disrespect for the rights of law-abiding citizens. I hope the gun show owner and participants do sue, and I hope they win big. Not money, necessarily, but I hope that the court confirms that these actions are not in keeping with the rights of American citizens. Innocent until proven guilty, bud.

Why was the ATF focusing on this anyway, when it could have been focusing on the multitude of real offenses guns are being used for?
