A New Orleans Police Department employee and a felon have been indicted for illegally obtaining an AK-47 assault rifle, federal prosecutors said Friday.This story makes no sense on a few levels.
U.S. Attorney Jim Letten said Nisheka M. Webb, 21, went to a local gun show July 29 with Wayne C. Jones, 28, to buy a gun for him. Jones, a convicted felon, is prohibited from ever owning or possessing a firearm, Letten said.
The indictment charged both with conspiracy to acquire a firearm by providing a false statement to a federally-licensed firearm dealer.
First, why didn't Webb simply give her "friend" one of those guns NOPD "Only Ones" stole from citizens during the Katrina confiscations?
But more importantly, what's this "federally-licensed firearm dealer" business? Everyone knows gun shows provide loopholes for supplying felons and terrorists with firearms--no questions asked.
Right, GOP presidential hopeful John McCain?

Hmmm. Looks to me like U.S. Attorney Jim Letten (place officious trumpet herald here) is the one who should be brought up on charges as a straw buyer! I know I would talk to a pro-gun lawyer to see if such was possible.
