Lawyer representing man killed by ATF says raid might have occurred to support new Biden regulation – By Charlotte Hazard (Just the News) / May 21, 2024
Federal investigators alleged Malinowski violated federal gun laws by operating as a firearm seller without the proper licensing, a Federal Firearms License, or FFL.
Arkansas Attorney Bud Cummins, who is representing the family of Bryan Malinowski who was killed by ATF agents in a raid, suggested Tuesday that the raid might have occurred to support a new gun regulation from President Joe Biden.
“As bad as that story I just told is, it’s even worse if it’s politically motivated,” Cummins said on the “Just the News, No Noise” TV show. “The gun show loophole, that’s what gun control people call it, is the right of hobbyists and collectors to sell their firearms at gun shows without licenses.”
“President Biden was about to roll out, and did roll out, in April, his new regulation where he took credit for personally closing the gun show loophole,” he added. “It appears that this raid might have been coordinated to support that announcement.”
Malinowski was the local administrator of an airport in Little Rock, Arkansas. Earlier this year, federal agents showed up to execute a search warrant in his home, leading to a standoff which resulted in Malinowski being killed.
