ARROGANT, STUPID AND SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER

By Bob Walsh


US: Iowa police chief borrows official guns to organise private 'gun-play' for money

 
Bradley Eugene Wendt, 47, had been the Chief of Police of Adair, Iowa  since 2018.  It is a very small department, two officers.  He also owned a FFL licensed gun dealership in town., BW Outfitters. He is about to go to federal prison for being arrogant and stupid and thinking nobody would notice.

Between 2018 and 2022 Wendt sent about 40 "law letters" expressing interest in the purchase of machine guns for his department.  This allowed him to get the proper documentation for his gun store to possess the machine guns for demonstrators.  

Instead he used his operation to illegally sell the machine guns to retail customers.  One of them, a Browning M-2, he sold to himself and mounted on his personally owned armored HumVee.  All together he processed about 90 machine guns, including not only the M-2 but an M-60 allegedly owned by his department, thru his store.  For a 2-man police department.  

The feds noticed.  Wendt was just sentenced to 5 years as a guest of Joe Biden.
