If I knowingly sold a gun to a illegal or to a known gang member and that gun was used to KILL a Federal Law Enforcement Officer how long would it be before Federal Agents were swarming around my house with Barretts and .338 Lapuas?????

Someone in the Federal Government needs to go to jail.

Someone in the ATF needs jail time along with whomever in the
Department of Justice gave the ok to execute this debacle.

Now I want Justice for Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry.

Family of Murdered Border Patrol Agent Considering Suing Feds Over 'Fast and Furious'

The family of murdered Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry wants justice, and that may include suing the federal government.

"If the evidence shows Brian's death was proximately caused by the negligence of the federal government, there may be a cause of action," said Terry family attorney Paul Charlton.

Terry was killed in December 2010 at the hands of an illegal immigrant working for the Sinaloa Cartel while patrolling an area near Tucson known as Rio Rico.

Officials traced the gun found at the scene to Operation Fast and Furious, a weapons trafficking program run by the U.S. Department of Justice and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives that let guns travel south of the border.

Generally speaking, government officials can't be sued for damages, however misguided or incompetent. Yet, there are exceptions when agencies can reasonably foresee their actions will do harm.

While it's too premature to know who likely would be fingered in a suit, it is possible that top ATF and Department of Justice officials could be the targets.
