    Not to sound like a ninnie, but 2 years and 1000 officers to arrest 42. 42 that most likely your average beat cop could have pointed out to the ATF in less than a minute???

    I'm glad these guys were arrested. If the charges stick I'll be even happier.

    75 total arrests, and another 40 they couldn't find. 42 was the ATF arrests, then the rest by local law enforcement. But it was a joint operation sounds like.

    Color me impressed. Especially if they stick.

    Not sure these were high profile criminals, wonder how many of the 42 they made.

    San Mateo County District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe detailed others had been hit with state-level weapons charges for violating California law on “assault weapons” and illegal possession of firearms and high-capacity magazines.

    100 ounces of narcotics were recovered.

    So... *moves lips, counts on fingers* six pounds of weed? And while some of the article reads like legit criminals did get busted, it also has some Cali-only "crimes".

    Well, originally there was 100 pounds, but you know how that goes.

    I wonder why those criminals didn't respect CA's stringent gun laws?
    Oh, I forgot, those laws only apply to people who actually obey the law.

    Idiots.

    The article seems to imply the arrestees were gangbangers.

    Selling illegal guns and drugs, and stolen cars (48 recovered). 42 facing federal charges, and the rest were state weapons charges. (pretty easy to do in CA)

    Wouldn't be the first time that someone tried to hold onto something that was legal one day and illegal next got mixed in with real criminals.

    And my point is, enacting more gun laws to take away rights ain't gonna make these problems go away
