Maybe theyre trying to get around the "beyond a reasonable doubt" burden by bringing a civil trial because they know that playing by the rules wouldnt have netted them any catches. Probably because gun dealers, when someone presents them with an obvious opportunity to break the law usually thinks "ATF sting!"
The ATF, as maligned as it deservedly is, probably has some sort of non-entrapping, court-tested procedure for catching dealers who facilitate straw purchases. The NY guys probably just wanted fodder for a civil trial.
All guessing. |
