What do they mean when they state he illegally tried to get a firearm? Do they mean he tried to buy a gun on the black market or he went to a gun store and filled out a form? This would have been in addition to the one already issued to him by the obese force?
Would it not be that an illegal immigrant cant buy a gun legally? That's how I took it....if it were some sting operating and he was buying a gun off the street I feel like that would have been a sticking point in the story.
