Open Inquiry to BATFU: The Bloomberg Conspiracy

Investigators in New York City made illegal gun purchases in five states as part of an undercover investigation...
And again I ask: What is the authority of private individuals from New York to conspire to break, and then actually violate, federal gun purchase laws and the laws of other states?

Where is the investigation? Where are the indictments? Or are only private individuals in Bloomberg's conspiracy shielded from prosecution, whereas "ordinary" private individuals would have their lives destroyed if caught making "illegal gun purchases"?

Are laws actually being broken, or is this just [more] media hyperbole? If they are, how come you're letting them get away with it? And what do you call a system where criminals rule?

The more I look at this, I'm convinced that the dealers did no wrong, but the JBTs who did the "straw buying" did. If they turned around and gave them to unqualified persons, then the JBTs broke the law. If the persons receiving the guns were qualified, then they may not have broken the law, but it wa a low and creepy thing to do. Either way, bloomingidiot and his thugs are the ones who are wrong here. The dealers did the proper background checks, and the JBTs were clean.

Another point is, how does this stack up against the "Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act"? Whyisn't Boobberg being brought up on charges?
