Now if we could just get the ATF to investigate the south Chicago Amish,
they might save some peoples lives.

I have always wondered this, how many times does the ATF "knock" on a drug dealers home?  Or are they too afraid that they will get shot at, so they mainly target law abiding citizens who will surrender without violence and go thru court instead.

On Tuesday, Reuben King said the guns taken were part of his personal collection and that the foundry had nothing to do with the gun sales.
“I’m not going to deny that I was selling some,” Reuben King said. Gun sales were not advertised and he does not know how he may have come to the ATF’s attention.
“This is my business: I’m a dairyman,” he said inside a barn filled with cows as he swept the concrete floor with a pushbroom. He has about 50 dairy cows.
Reuben King said he primarily sold long guns to the Amish for hunting, though he admitted he sold some to non-Amish, too.
“I was not dealing in handguns, positively not,” Reuben King said.
Federal laws require photo identification when purchasing a firearm from a licensed dealer. The Amish contend their religious beliefs prevent them from being photographed, so they cannot buy a firearm from a licensed dealer. However, private sellers don’t have to require the buyer to present photo identification.
Reuben King declined to say how many guns he had or sold, but that more than 600 — which is what a tipster told LNP — didn’t sound right. Agents did not take all his firearms, he said, adding he’s been collecting guns over the years and hunts.

Who ratted out Reuben King? He'll probably never see the seized personal guns again, and if he is getting them from a shady source, some of the guns are going to test positive for ballistics. The guy could have saved himself a lot of trouble by just getting a federal firearms license. Not that big a deal, since other Amish have obtained one, and so have members of Indian reservations.
