I hope Agent Schmuckatelli comes to my house to ask me or my wife about my neighbors or myself:

"Did you know your husband was
going to a gun show today?"

Yes.

"Did you know your husband was going to
buy a gun today?

Who are you? Can I see some identification? I am sorry, he doesn't tell me all his plans.

"Did you know that your neighbor was buying a gun
today?"

Which neighbor? Of course not, he doesn't check in with me.

How do you feel about him doing so?"

Fine with me, I guess.

approached
by BATFE and taken to a car while they checked him out

Am I being arrested? Are you going to read me my Miranda Rights? can you articulate your Probable Cause? no? Am I being detained? Yes? Can you articulate your Reasonable Suspicion? Wether or not I am a lawyer is not relevant at this time. Can you articulate your Reasonable Suspicion? no? Have a nice day. Yes? I have nothing further to say without my legal counsel present...


"Did you know you need a
business license to sell a gun at this show?

I have nothing to say without legal counsel present...

I have seen you at a
lot of shows - are you in the business of selling guns? I think you
are."

(silence)

Ok, dont feel like doing the lawyer routine: just clam up and leave as soon as Agent Schmuckatelli releases you without saying a word at any time. Keep and eye and ear out for any identifying items on the agent: name tag, badge name or number, physical description, etc. Write these down as soon as you get home. Call a lawyer immediately and place him/her on retainer to begin a contractual relationship.


BATFE would no
longer be sending officers to people's houses who were purchasing a
firearm and that what happened in Richmond should not have happened

No, really. I really, really do have a bridge for sale. Honest!
