Bryan Malinowski was the Executive Director of the Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport in Arkansas until he was shot to death by the ATF, who raided his home at 6 am while it was still dark. They knocked down his door since they had a search warrant. He fired first, one time, by all accounts. An agent received a minor wound. They shot five times and blew most of his brain out.
Mr. Malinowski collected coins and guns. He didn’t use the guns himself; he collected them. According to the search warrant, he bought and sold guns privately without a license through gun shows.
He bought the guns legally and then resold them at gun shows. The ATF said he didn’t keep them and immediately turned them around, as many as 150 for cash only. How serious is it to sell privately without a license?
KARK REPORT
Attorney and gun laws expert Jeff Wankum of Wankum Law Firm in North Little Rock said lawyers are familiar with private gun sales and what federal agents identified as part of the gun show loophole.
“There’s a lot of debate about what they call the ‘gun show loophole,’” Wankum stated.
He said the loophole essentially boils down to the blurry line when a private gun seller becomes a business. There isn’t a set line for how many guns someone can sell a year in Arkansas. The question ATF looks at is why someone is selling the guns.
If someone is buying and selling repeatedly, predominantly to earn a profit, the ATF does not consider that a private seller anymore. They consider that a violation because it is effectively dealing in firearms without a license, along with unlawfully acquiring them, are the alleged violations that resulted in the search warrant for Malinowski’s home.
Was he making a profit? Probably. He didn’t need to. Mr. Malinowski made $250,000 a year at his job and had large investments.
A federal firearms license allows a person to sell guns commercially, but anyone can sell a gun privately. While FFL holders must perform background checks and keep a thorough record of all transactions, private sellers do not.
However, the legal documents claim Malinowski bought as many as 24 guns at once, saying they were for him, and he would then allegedly resell the guns in some cases as little as 24 hours later.
“With what he was dealing with, there was a volume that went along with the speed at which his stuff was being sold, and that is obviously what piqued the interest of the ATF,” Wankum said.
ATF stated the only question Malinowski asked undercover agents was whether they were 21 when selling handguns. Wankum explained that, legally, that is all Malinowski had to do.
Sentinel has to interject here because KARK might be incorrect: The NRA states:
Federal law requires firearm dealers, regardless of location, to initiate a background check before selling or otherwise transferring a firearm to a person who is not a dealer. There is no “gun show loophole.” Federal law is the same, regardless of where a firearm sale takes place.
Gun Owners of America calls it a sleazy hoax.
Back to KARK. According to KARK, The affidavit claims as of February 2024, six of the more than 150 guns Malinowski purchased and often resold at gun shows within the past few years were eventually seized during criminal investigations.
The ATF could have arrested Mr. Malinowski at work while another team searched his home. The government loves these violent early morning raids. We also don’t know if all or any of this is true because Mr. Malinowski is dead.
Sold more than a couple personal firearms last year?
Wanted to pare down your collection, or sell a couple small ticket items to buy one big ticket item?
The ATF will consider you an “unlicensed dealer”, show up at your front door, and murder you in your own home if you resist. https://t.co/zwOGtQx0de

His brother Matthew is infuriated. He said he didn’t understand why they chose such a violent approach.

BS.
They had ample time after the murder to claim that this was the reason for their intrusion. This is a made up story to try and justify their actions. Obviously the victim had something on the clintons, or they thought he did.
Simple.
Ammo up folk.
The Invaders, Chinese, and many others sell dangerous drugs all the time, and nobody cares. A couple of guns? No. Something else must be behind it. Dirt on Billy Boy or Hill?
How many of the founders of this nation registered their guns with the British government? Maybe we should learn from history.
The reason LE agencies take a violent approach is that they want to impress everyone. They usually bring reporters because they thrive on the publicity. This is more important than actually administering the law peacefully.
They are now LL (LawLess) agencies.
REVISED ____Funny, the ATF says a “gun dealer” must perform background check etc. etc. etc. he was a private citizen. It used to be okay for a private citizen to buy sell firearms to another private citizen, only verifying (ASKING- not contacting NICS) they were not a felon and of legal age with payment being any means they choose. Just because it is a cash sale makes no difference, i don’t process credit/.debit card transactions, nor can I verify a bank check in my daily interactions with other private citizens; so, cash is king. I guess anyone who sells firearms now is a “dealer”, no ifs ands or buts.

The government is making it’s point here, just like with Ashley Babbitt, Derek Chauvin and Donald Trump. They can do whatever they like and get away with it. Best lay down and comply with the Bolsheviks.
This goes deeper and is tied to the US gov in cahoots with th UN are arming the Invaders to eliminate Americans. They do not want private American citizens to have access to more guns. You will wake up some morning and the twenty million invaders will be armed and knocking on your doors. The US gov under Biden is illigitimate and has been taken over by UN and the Globalist -bankers et al. That is why all the oligarchs have bunkers and supplies to go uunderground for a year..they know it is coming down soon… The bloodbath is coming and is real
So they didn’t announce themselves, kicked in his door and murdered him. Clear and simple.
Don’t expect the republican side of the aisle to protect your rights. They are as complicit as the left.
The Waco, Ruby Ridge, And now these murderers are criminals in the service of criminals. Modern day Brown Shirts. Eventually, they will come for you and your God given rights. The only question now is what you will do about that.
Trump won’t do anything about it either folks.
well let’s see then because what we’re doing now ain’t working.
The only ATF that needs to exist is; Automatic Transmission Fluid.
It is not the place of “Government” to regulate Our Rights.
Rights come from God. Not to be licensed out by Tyrants.
The Govie Goons are guilty of murder.
Article 1 Section 8 Powers of Congress…find the “power” to create atf….it’s not there…what you will find, however, is the “power” to arm, and train in those arms, every citizen between 18 and 35 (i.e., what the founders considered the “militia” to be). You will also find the power to “grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal”, meaning the founders expected private citizens to own ships of war capable of attacking war ships of our enemies and harass their shipping…and I wonder what their magazines were limited to…oh, that’s right…the right to own and bare arms SHALL NOT BE ENFRINGED…
That ain’t why they killed him…
On Jan 6th, the government sent a message that you’ll rot in prison for years if you stand up against the Biden Regime’s fraud. Just be quiet and don’t resist.
In this case, the Regime is sending a message that anyone who doesn’t comply with Biden’s EO on all private sellers needing an FFL is subject to murder by the ATF. The way the arrest was done maxmized the chance of him being surprised, not knowing what’s going on, and him being killed. It’s all very obvious, just as the 5am raid on Roger Stone by 40 SWAT members was completely unjustified and done to send a message.
You WILL be assimilated…or exterminated…
It’s too bad he couldn’t have taken a couple down of these ATF (American Thug Uckfers.) and commies.
They need to be indicted for MURDER.
you’re right – they should be, and many others ;including Ashli Babbit’s capitol police murderer. But, trump won’t do it. So, there will be no more justice , nor rule of law while marxist-globalist crooks control our hijacked nation. Soft-coup has demonic power and deadly force is their M.O..
Please Vlad, kill the US Government, PLEASE!
Something stinks to High Heaven here.. Someone at the ATF had better come up with the law that says a free citizen cannot sell more than one weapon, private party in any given time period..
Was dude up to something shady? I would bet on it. But instead of nabbing the cartel members/gang members buying the weapons, they go in blazing, at zero dark thirty, and kill a free citizen, when they could have safely taken him at work, coming out for work or getting home from work..
This has been SOP since Waco. And it is tyrannical.
‘Tis “totalitarianism” – pure and simple…
Sadly our government has lost respect for citizens. We appear to more resemble a 3rd World Banana Republic than a Constitutional Republic as set-up by our Founders.
Why not just arrest him then question him directly?
Something stinks in DC.
Our government is little more than purveyors of death. In fact, they kill more than they do ANYTHING ELSE!
So he sold guns.
Explain to me why Mr.Malinowski was targeted…?
Oh wait. He knows the Clintons. Never mind.
#DirtOnTheClintons
Death to tyrants
As an Executive of the Clinton airport, he had access to all flight info including those to pervert island.
The government murdered another citizen
How many guns have been seized from the ‘FAST AND FURIOUS’ gun distribution by Obama? How many people have died because of that fiasco? When will Mexico put Obama on trial for illegally sending guns into Mexico? My amigos dead hijo wants to know.
Seriously. When will Obama be tried by the Mexican authorities for murder?
If PDJT loses his immunity trial then it’s open season on every president/official whose actions caused harm to anyone.
Wanna bet…Anyone who dares question the ‘official’ narrative on elections is NOW deemed a terrorist….and watch your mouth at the PTA meetings…
The gun laws in general and attempts to outlaw guns have caused more harm than anything else, caused a reason for more people to want to buy more firearms than ever before is all they’ve done.
In a time not to long ago when there no gun laws, and anyone could buy gun anywhere, there were far fewer crimes commited with firearms, and there were fewer guns being sold.
Appears as though that if they didn’t knock and knocked down his door, that he was protecting himself from intruders. Self Defense. Which is legal.
In times past before leftists bureaucracy screwed up everything for everyone, there used to be weekend swap meets in most areas, if you wanted to buy or sell a gun you simply went to the swap meet, hence people most generally bought and sold, and collected used guns. The laws now force people to the gun stores in droves. Instead of the nominal level of firearms that were in circulation, the gun laws have caused more new guns to be manufactured and to be put into circulation than ever before.
The Bureaucracy does not want any competition or criticism or back talk. The Bureaucracy is fascist.
