The stolen gun angle doesn't seem to fit well if you look at him having 4 of 5 of the same gun in different colors.
I would bet he raised eye brows on a multiple purchase form. Or three................

73 guns at $1,000 - $1,500 each is $73,000 - $109,500, along with the unknown hours of each investigator involved , couldn’t they just have popped this guy after a few sales rather than dragging it out for a year and a half and ridiculous amounts of money spent?
Could be they were tracking them? I'm just guessing here. There's no doubt the dumbest people on gun crime will be NYC DA's, IMO.

A bit from looking for property there and having purchased some land, from driving around some.
Lots of less-than-ideal people there for neighbors. I've had lots of them tell me about stuff "walking off" that was left outside, so please be advised.
Beautiful drive along Ball Park Road though. The Conasauga River is a neat little drive. Be sure to check out Fletcher's Spout, neat story there.
If you need help on anything, give me a shout.

Bronx District Attorney Darcel D. Clark said Shakor Rodriguez, 23, originally from the Bronx, NY, who was attending Austin Peay State University in Clarksville, TN, has been indicted on hundreds of counts of Criminal Sale of a Firearm, Criminal Possession of a Firearm and related charges for trafficking 73 weapons and high-capacity magazines to the Bronx and Manhattan, where they were sold to an undercover NYPD officer.
According to the investigation, dubbed “Operation Overnight Express” and took place between July 2020 and Dec. 2021 in New York, Rodriguez sold an undercover officer 73 firearms, of which 59 were loaded, as well as over 40 high-capacity magazines including multiple “drum” magazines.
The undercover paid typically between $1,000 and $1,500 per gun, authorities said.
A whole lot of stupidity in that story. Not sure why he would sell the guns loaded? Sounds like he learned gun handling via watching rap videos?
From the Bronx to Austin Peay. No doubt an attempt to lift an urban yout out of poverty & make him a productive citizen. Another liberal program that not only backfired, but endangered the lives of no telling how many NY citizens by bring this jerk in.

Mitchell claimed in a lawsuit filed in November that Baldwin should have checked the Colt .45 revolver he was holding to make sure it did not include live ammunition. Baldwin has said the assistant director told him the gun was “cold,” or safe to use and that he did not pull the trigger. Mitchell, who said she was in the line of fire, alleges assault, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and deliberate infliction of harm and is seeking unspecified damages in the lawsuit filed in Los Angeles Superior Court.
"did not pull the trigger"
Well, now we know what defense he's going to try to use.
If this scene was filmed, I would think it would show if his finger is or is not on the trigger. As gun owners ourselves, we all know guns don't "just go off".
I hope when this is all over & done with, Baldwin is both in prison & bankrupted.

Sounds like what you need is a satellite phone.
It has been several years since I used one but basically you need to keep it charged, and it works from most anywhere to most anywhere… Far away places to Middle Tennessee was once no problem. If I remember correctly, the phone was costly, about 1k, and the charges were about $1 per minute…but it worked, always.
Likely the prices have come down significantly. It shouldn’t be much trouble to research if you have the need for such communications.
Ehh, it's for emergencies only, actually. With a handheld HAM, I won't be paying monthly fees. But a sat phone is a good idea were I to be in the boonies quite a bit, I agree.

Henry "Michael" Williams was charged with being a felon in possession of a firearm after authorities say he sold the weapon that Maisal Faisal Akram used when he entered Congregation Beth Israel on Jan. 15 and held the synagogue's rabbi and three others hostage for hours.
Quote"Federal firearm laws are designed to keep guns from falling into dangerous hands. As a convicted felon, Mr. Williams was prohibited from carrying, acquiring, or selling firearms. Whether or not he knew of his buyer’s nefarious intent is largely irrelevant — felons cannot have guns, period, and the Justice Department is committed to prosecuting those who do," said U.S. Attorney Chad E. Meacham in a statement.
I would love to see how many other felons with firearms he's charged? I doubt it's very many unless the media is watching his news conference.

“Under San Jose’s proposed law, gun owners would be charged an annual $25 fee directed to a nonprofit set up to distribute funds to gun crime prevention and to victims of gun violence. The measure also would require gun owners to obtain liability insurance that would cover damage caused by their weapon,” CNN added.
So, once AGAIN honest, law abiding gun owners are being forced to cover the damage caused by thugs, punks & miscreants with ILLEGAL firearms. Sounds about right..................
QuoteGun rights advocates argue that gun owners should not have to pay a fee to exercise their constitutional right to bear arms. To be sure, the 2nd Amendment protects the rights of citizens to own guns, but it doesn’t require the public to subsidize gun ownership. …
Critics say that criminals won’t obey insurance or fee mandates — and they are right. But these ordinances create a legal mandate that gives police the means for at least the temporary forfeiture of guns from dangerous law-breakers.
Police ALREADY have "means" for forfeiture of the ILLEGAL use of firearms.
In short, they're saying, "We don't give a crap about the law, the Constitution or the courts. We hate guns & we're going to punish law abiding gun owners because we sure as heck can't blame the liberal social programs that helped encourage these miscreants."
Personally, I think it will take an appeals court to get this thrown out. CA judges will slobber all over themselves in upholding this BS, IMO.

I think something similar is what got this started, they arrested the landowner for destruction, or stealing the cameras, on his land.
His land = his property, IMO. Screw them.

I do think that TWRA needs a judicial knot jerked in their power tail, but I also have problems with people poaching or doing other things outside of the hunting laws that we have.
TWRA can & does enforce game laws on private property. But putting up cameras & walking around private property w/o a warrant is a BIG no-no in my rule book.
For the record, I don't hunt nor fish, I just shoot.

I recall reading that a similar case was heard by the Supreme court which upheld the current 'open field doctrine'.
*I* would interpret that as a "visual search" by the naked eye, not cameras.
The TWRA has long been too big for their britches, IMO. Does anyone remember when they built some sort of small dam/retaining wall in West TN to block water for someone's duck hunting desires? They got taken to court, found they violated some sort of wetlands laws & got told to rip that thing out yesterday. Then it all got hushed up REAL fast. I never heard if they ripped it out or not? Nor what happened to those who approved the project in the first place.

However my experiences with th Mosquito were totally different.
Obviously, based on your other post.
One thing I've noticed with a lot of mid-tier .22 semi's is they run a LOT better with a liberal dose of oil on the slide & rails. The aluminum frame (on a lot of them) doesn't do well with the steel slide when there's not extra lube, IMO. Extra, good quality lube goes a long way in overcoming cycling issues, IMO.

Your guess is as good as mine? I thought that I really priced it too cheap...
Maybe, maybe not. Hard to say with prices all over the place these days.
Ironically, Winchester is just about the only brand of .22 rifle I don't own. I refuse to own a Ruger, but I have one of just about every one else.
(I need to quit reading this damn thread before it costs me $$$!)

Interesting. We'll be moving to SW Polk County (near Old Fort) when the new house is ready. Did you find out if they monitor anything, e.g., CB or GMRS or ??
No, never really delved into which frequencies they used. I was picking his brain for advice more than anything. Nice fella too.
Are you familiar with the Old Fort area?

Great pics, I do not know why this is still here, seams like a fair price, just do not need another 22 rifle.
Eh, my guess is everyone these days wants a mag-fed tacticool .22 semi?
Nor does "need" have anything to do with it.........................

Over the past 2 decades, I've had at least 3, maybe 4 Sig Mosquitos come thru my hands. In the days my late brother-in-law and I almost lived in the midstate gun shows, I'd find them for a really low price and buy them. Personal opinion. All of them were junk. You name the problem in cheap 22's and it had them. Dropped one and cracked the slide.
The Mosquito I owned ran 100%. I also kept the rails & slide well-oiled & shot CCI ammo out of it. This model had the threaded bbl & ran 100% with the suppressor as well.

During Garrett's original interrogation, investigator's lied about finding Garrett's DNA at the crime scene to try to coerce a confession from him ( courts have repeatedly ruled that during interrogations, police are generally under no obligation to tell the truth to potential defendants and are essentially free to lie).
But should a person lie to the police, they can be charged! Which is complete BS!!!!
That court ruling allowing cops to lie with no pushback has got be one of THE worst court rulings in US history, IMO.
Were I on a jury & it was established that a cop lied, I would ask the other jurors in deliberation, "If he lied then, how do we know he didn't lie on the stand?" Lying is a pattern, once people start doing it, they continue doing it. Too often when it's not even needed either, IMO.
I hope everyone involved in this goat screwing loses their pensions & gets prison time.

It's one thing for a detective or prosecutor to make a mistake but I've seen so many examples now where they have all but framed an innocent person. It's maddening. They are almost never prosicuted either. Imagine losing 18 years of your life for something you didn't do.
If that happened to me, I would be back in prison for murdering the people who falsely convicted me knowing it was wrong.
I agree that these cops & DA's are rarely punished for amounts to be both perjury & malfeasance of office. Should be a mandatory 30 years in prison when they do that.

Of course. Otherwise it would be racist.
