And of course this gave someone (the confidential informant) who violated our immigration laws, a pass.

It is abundantly clear why no one with a federal badge in their billfold wants to talk about this case. It is a joke – a gross overreach – a sham.
It’s clear Special Agent Shaw and her bosses saw Mejia solely as a quick stat – an easy arrest to pump up their Project Safe Neighborhood numbers, and a way to let their superiors in Washington D.C. know Orlando FBI is hard at work keeping the neighborhoods safe.
Did Mejia break the law? Of course, he did.
Does he deserve to spend nearly two years behind bars for it? Of course, he doesn’t.
Picture Mejia sitting at his kitchen table with his Scorpion in one hand and the after-market stock in the other. When they’re attached, he’s committing a felony. When he takes them apart, he’s abiding by the law. Together – felony. Apart – no crime.
That is the absolute lunacy of the National Firearms Act. This is a victimless crime, after all. Who was harmed?
