Women Busted for Trying to Buy Gun to Kill ICE Agents

There are way too many gun control laws in this country, even at just the federal level. When you get into the laws in a state like New York, though, it gets beyond ridiculous.

And many of the people who are screaming about Alex Pretti and talking a big game about taking on ICE supported those laws. They wanted to keep guns out of the hands of people like you and me, not because they think the criminals get them from us, but because they simply don’t like what we might do with them if they get their way.

Now that they’re feeling the opposite of that, such as immigration laws being enforced, they feel very differently, and for one woman, well, that’s coming up to bite her in the posterior.

A woman who attempted to buy a gun in Western New York is being investigated after she allegedly said she planned to purchase the weapon to “protect herself from ICE Agents, and also to kill ICE Agents.“

In a press release, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said the female U.S. citizen allegedly tried to buy a firearm on two separate occasions in Kenmore, NY.

During the vetting and background check process, the woman allegedly said she wanted to “buy a gun to protect herself from ICE Agents, and also to kill ICE Agents.”

New York State Police is assisting in the investigation with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI). A state police spokesperson referred 2 On Your Side to DHS for any follow-up questions.

This is not a smart thing to say, particularly in a gun store, because the odds are good that the guy at the store will disagree with your desire to kill federal agents.

Even if he doesn’t like ICE, he’s not going to want to have to deal with the headache of selling a gun to a whack job, particularly one who makes her intentions clear like that.

While the law doesn’t seem to specifically require FFLs to deny sales to such people, most recognize that they’ll have a lot easier time if they just report such people. Then there’s that whole “making a terroristic threat” thing, which doesn’t require a gun in any way, just some reason to take the threat seriously.

Trying to buy a gun while threatening to kill federal agents, for example.

Look, I get that not everyone is down with how ICE is taking care of business. Based purely on the media reports, I probably wouldn’t be, either. I just don’t believe the mainstream media on anything, with the possible exception of the weather reports, which are still wrong, but they’re not filled with lies.

Side note: How bad are things with the media when suddenly the weather is the most trustworthy part of a news program?

Anywho, the woman in question is in hot water, and at least part of that is due to her anti-gun animosity, I’m sure. I can’t say definitively that she’s anti-gun, mind you, because we don’t know her name, but playing the odds, it’s a pretty safe bet here. Like “betting on the Tom Brady-led Patriots to beat a Pop Warner team” kind of safe.

The people who blasted us for wanting guns, who said we could never stand up to the federal government, should it come to that, are now trying to get guns, advertising murderous intent, and then wondering why they’re being arrested.

Kind of poetic.
