As alluded to above, there is/was a reason why they were not discussing with the local and federal law enforcement folks the validity of any responses made on the required paperwork that one must complete before a firearms transaction can take place.
As to their connection with Bloomberg/MAIG I merely ask if you could suggest any other reason why folks who openly and clearly identifying themselves as being residents of NY/NYC would come to a Virginia gun show and attempt to involve three distinct individuals in three separate portions of a firearms purchase -- one filling out the paperwork who states that the second one will be providing the legal tender while the third one is identified by the first two as the one who will be taking physical possession of said firearm.
Did I also mention that all three were clearly and repeatedly verbally informing the dealer(s) of these activities as they attempt to consumate the purchase, or repeatedly as the dealer(s) if doing so "would be OK"?
Even if such statements were not made in the presence of LEOs the statements of the dealers could have been relied on for detaining them until warrants were secured, and serve as sufficient testimony at trial.
No, campers, they wanted to implicate Bloomberg. Oh, yes they did!
stay safe.
