High powered rifle, oh my!
I know this isn't an original thought, but where can you get a low powered rifle?
Good thing the Red Rider I got as a gag gift for my wife is well hidden in the closet. I wouldn't want to get caught with an evil high powered rifle.
What I do like to see are some of these sting buys. If Rendell and his H'Burg philly crew are going to whine about straw buys, at least give the cops some resources to go after druggies with guns and possession by prohibited persons.
As the OP points out, non-immigrant aliens may not possess guns. As the article mentions that immigration was called, I'm going to assume the sellers were prohibited persons. The drugs add a nice illegal touch to it all. Whenever I see stories like this I want to know where did they get the guns to begin with.
