As for knowledgeable Feds/locals, good points have been made. I was foreman of the Grand Jury for a couple on months and can tell you that the DA and ADA's are rather clueless about gun laws. Also, I was shocked that the MANY drug dealers that were arrested were never charged as being felons in possession of firearms either by the locals or Feds. The Feds also did not care about illegally sawed off shotguns. Evidently, they don't want to clog the prisons with these folks. Looking at the inside on these matters gets rather interesting.
