    He sure looks like the type to start firefight. I am so glad that the fine agents reading this thread right now took appropriate action to keep us citizens all safe from this menace.

    No-knock warrants need to be SEVERELY limited. There are far too many cases of people getting killed or injured unnecessarily in these raids. There are very few things that would make a no-knock necessary, yet we hear about them week after week.

    Chances are pretty good that the guy was asleep in his house when AFT crashed open the door. According to ATF, he shot first, so they shot him in the head. I could easily believe he had no clue who broke in and was simply defending himself. The guy makes great money, has had his position for many years, has a clean record - doesn't sound like a candidate for a raid to me. His brother pointed out that they simply could have arrested him at work and went to his house. Needless government BS.

    But here's the part that REALLY grinds my gears: The government will meet behind closed doors and come out with a report saying that the only person at fault was the poor, now-dead homeowner and they will pat themselves on the back, hand out promotions, and continue acting like the Gestapo.

    Ask this: why all these heavily-armed pre-dawn raids on non-criminal citizens ?

    While actual criminals & invaders run rampant ?

    These are warnings to us all.

    Looks to me that WEF/NWO/UN/Deep State Cabal has decided that now is time for their global takeover; and they are eliminating potential resistors as early moves.

    We MUST unite if we are to survive !

    "There’s something fishy here. The ATF went after him in the worst possible way,” he told NBC News reporter Deon Hampton. “There’s no reason why they couldn’t have arrested him at work at the airport.”
    And the ATF could have arrested Vernon Howell on one of his weekly solo trips into town...

    Meanwhile gang bangers with Glock switches all over Little Rock laugh..........
    My buddy moved to north little Rock in the late 80's. He went to north little Rock high. He told me during his first week there he heard a commotion in the hallway. Shortly after a guy ran by the class door. Followed by a German Shepard. Followed by a police officer.

    My son and I were thinking the same thing. The ATF could also have arranged for a traffic stop and arrested him then. There are a lot of ways to handle an arrest of someone other than storming their abode. Then again ho knows what he was up to; I tend to doubt it was serious enough to justify what happened but that is only my guess. Only time and a revelation of a lot more facts will tell.

    ETA at 2217:Just saw the affidavit, seems I was wrong with my guess about this not being serious enough to justify a raid. I have often wondered if certain folks at gun shows I have attended were ATF agents, my bet is I have pegged at least two people correctly. When I sell I always require to see the buyer's ID; if I see that the buyer is from out of state I tell them the sale must go through an FFL from their state. Luckily the gun show I attend in Texarkana, AR now has folks who do the 4473s for transfer to residents of TX.

    We'll likely never know.
