A priest, a preacher, and a rabbi walk into a bar.
The bartender says "Is this some kind of a joke?!"
A horse walks into a bar.
The bartender ask "Why the long face?"

You'd think she would have seen it!

Re: Two Iraqis and a Guatemalan attempt to buy 4 M249 SAWs from DFW Gun Store
The OP's link doesn't work since it appears to be behind the Dallas Morning Snooze's paywall.
This was the front page, top of fold story in the Sunday edition of the DMN, 3/24/24. It was over 2 full pages, with some associated articles.
Let me add a few details:
One of the BG's flew in from Cali, and coordinated with the other 2. One of the straw buyers was a tow truck driver.
When they searched the tow truck, they found ~ $67,600 USD, wrapped in a coat.
The FFL, Rifle Gear, is located on the service road of the Sam Rayburn Tollway, TX121, in The Colony, Texas. Yes, the town's proper name is "The Colony".
The store's name is Rifle Gear. Yes, they have plenty of rifles, but a large selection of handguns as well.
They used to be located in a smaller site on Windhaven Pkwy in Plano, but the store visibility from the street was not too good, and they needed more room.
They had their current location purpose built for them, giving them high visibility on SRT, more room, and 28 lanes.
The new location opened in 2020. The old location ceased to exist.
The feds (ATF) were aware that the men were going to Rifle Gear, and had notified the store personnel.
The arrests were made in the parking lot. The arrests were for being straw buyers.
After the sale, the weapon(s) purchased were to have been brought to Arizona. No further word on what would have transpired then.
Now for some statistics, but take these with a grain of salt.
Seized illegal firearms in Mexico : 70% came from the US. Of those, 43% came from Texas.
For some odd reason, one of the US hotspot cities for allegedly supplying guns to the cartels is Hartford, CT. Really?
