Wow, man, let's just fire someone.
The Justice Department is expected to oust the head of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, according to people familiar with the matter, amid a troubled federal antitrafficking operation that has grown into the agency's biggest scandal in nearly two decades.
This is outrageous.
Let me point out that should you or I provide a firearm to someone knowingly in violation of the law, we can be charged under 18 USC Section 2, which provides:
(a) Whoever commits an offense against the United States or aids, abets, counsels, commands, induces or procures its commission, is punishable as a principal.
(b) Whoever willfully causes an act to be done which if directly performed by him or another would be an offense against the United States, is punishable as a principal.
Therefore, if you aid or abet someone in the commission of the crime of unlawfully procuring a firearm, which is exactly what was done here, you can be charged as a principal in the underlying offense, which in this case ranges from a firearms crime all the way up to murder.
But we're just going to "fire" people..... right?
It must be nice to have the "Second Book of Law" available to you, but not to anyone in the common citizenry eh, which allows these people to commit felonies including murder that would result in a life prison sentence or even a capital sentence, were a "common person" to carry out the same crime.
And let's not kid ourselves folks - these were crimes.
There is no law when it does not apply equally to everyone; there is only "Divine Right of Kings", which according to our Constitution is a per-se violation of the law itself.
