Yeah, I'm not sure why it's being reported as such. Story/arrest really has nothing to do with bingo winnings.

BATFE: Where'd you get the money?
Suspect: Bingo winnings
BATFE: Where are the guns now?
Suspect: I lost them... umm... my dog ate them.... umm... I gave them to a friend to hold for me.... Ummm...
BUSTED!
Suspect: Umm... But... Eric Holder did it!!!!

I hope they had more evidence than that if they're slapping her with trafficking or straw purchase charges.

She apparently used a false address on some or all of the forms so that alone would be an excuse for a charge. Not being able to explain where the guns are or went would be another one. Hard to argue you were not trafficing if you no longer have a brand new gun and can't say who you sold it to. One maybe, but five?
I have little sympathy I guess. In another time with different laws, no one would care.
