....that the intellectual George Will would say something like this, but it still teed me off....
There are more than 6,600 licensed American gun dealers on the 2,000-mile border with Mexico. They should obey the law...The vast majority of them do, you ignorant prick...
UPDATE: Courtesy of Mike W. in comments, we have this, from David Hardy from Of Arms and the Law (DH is in my bookmarks; I'd have caught it myself if I'd had time to make the blog-run this morning, thanks Mike):
This is a strange case. The Arizona Attorney General (not ATF) brought State charges against a Phoenix-area gun dealer, claiming he'd supplied over 700 guns to Mexican drug cartels.
And the AG loses on a directed verdict -- meaning the judge finds that the evidence is nonexistent: no rational juror could find for the prosecution.
Wow. Does anyone think George Will will write a follow-up column apologizing for making an example of X-Caliber and acknowledging he made an ass of himself? Yeah, I didn't think so either.
