But…additional…

The gun the terrorist used in the Old Dominion was a stolen Glock 44 .22 caliber handgun that uses 10-round magazines. The serial straw purchaser that supplied the gun didn’t buy this one, he stole it from a car in Newport News, Virginia, about a year before he sold it to the terrorist Jalloh.

This exposes the myth of gun tracing a gun back to the perpetrator of a crime as a means to solve the crime – when a gun is stolen it breaks any ‘chain of custody’ because the trace only goes to the first retail purchaser, and when a gun is stolen there is no link from the legal purchaser to the thief. The second reason the pistol was untraceable was that the serial number was partly obliterated. There are also other reasons why gun tracing is a myth in terms of solving crimes.

So the FBI didn’t find the guy who supplied the gun to the terrorist by tracing, it was impossible to do so. Instead, they found him through an analysis of the terrorist’s telephone records which led them to Kenya Chapman, the same Kenya Chapman that the Biden DOJ refused to prosecute in 2021 for three gun straw purchases. Two of those straw purchased guns were recovered in a homicide (one from the killer and the other from the victim), one of them was found in possession of a drunk in a public incident. The Biden DOJ refused to prosecute Chapman and instead told the ATF to give him a warning and let him write a letter of apology.

Chapman has been arrested, and has confessed to selling the gun to the terrorist Jalloh. On Friday, Kenya Chapman, told federal agents in an interview that he stole the gun from a car in Newport News, Virginia, about a year before the Old Dominion terrorist attack and recently sold it to the terrorist Jalloh. Chapman said he met Jalloh at work and that Jalloh told him he needed the gun for protection as a delivery driver.

So the dude who sold a gun to the terrorist who killed a retired Lt Col in the Army had previously admitted to being a straw purchaser of guns that *checks notes* were used in a homicide and *checks notes again* Biden’s DOJ didn’t prosecute…

That’s right, ladies and gents. The anti-gun Biden administration, which took as many steps as it could find to restrict your gun rights, declined to prosecute a straw buyer who violated federal law, only for that individual to go on and do it again, this time providing it to a man convicted of a felony for trying to help ISIS.

Look, I understand why a ton of people hate the whole ‘enforce the laws that are already on the books’ thing, and I get where they’re coming from, because some of those laws are blatantly unconstitutional.

But on the same token, when they have a law on the books they’re clearly refusing to enforce, such as refusing to prosecute a straw buyer, thus allowing that individual to continue to do the same thing and eventually arming a literal terrorist, you can see why people say that. That’s especially true when the entity that refused to prosecute the straw buy is the same entity that enacted as many anti-gun executive orders as they could conjure up, as well as pushing for the biggest federal gun control package since 1996.

And the thing is, this isn’t even a controversial gun control law. This isn’t something pro-gun groups are clamoring for repealing anytime soon. Enforcing this one arrest might well have prevented an attack that left a man dead and wounded two others.
