DOJ invoked Espionage Act in calling Fox News reporter criminal 'co-conspirator'

The Justice Department did more than seize a Fox News reporter's emails while suggesting he was a criminal "co-conspirator" in a leak case -- it did so under one of the most serious wartime laws in America, the Espionage Act.

The administration has come under criticism before for using the Espionage Act to prosecute leakers and whistle-blowers. Under the Obama administration, federal prosecutors have used the act six times.

Meanwhile, more than three years later soldiers wounded in the mass shooting are fighting to receive the same pay and medical benefits given to those wounded in combat.

The Army has categorized the shooting as a case of “workplace violence.”

Peter Jamison, Times Staff Writer

CLEARWATER — Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri on Tuesday announced plans to strictly enforce a county law mandating background checks for all customers at gun shows, asserting local control in an area that has stubbornly resisted state and federal regulation.

Gualtieri's initiative comes in response to a Tampa Bay Times story last month on the ineffectiveness of local laws closing the so-called "gun-show loophole." The Times reported that while seven of Florida's most populous counties — including Pinellas and Hillsborough — have ordinances requiring background checks for all sales at gun shows, the laws are largely ignored.

According to Gualtieri, that will no longer be the case in Pinellas County. He said that Sheriff's Office deputies, after extensive consultation with the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, plan to monitor upcoming gun shows either in uniform or through undercover operations.

"We're going to make sure the ordinance is enforced," Gualtieri said. "The last thing in the world that I want to see, and I hope anyone wants to see, is a firearm fall into the hands of a person who's prohibited by law from possessing one."

The first gun show to be monitored will be held this weekend at the Minnreg Building in Largo. Organizer Guy Lemakos, a licensed St. Petersburg gun dealer, said he plans to personally perform background checks on behalf of the roughly 25 private vendors at the show, which will feature 120 vendors overall.

Lemakos said he would follow whatever guidelines the Sheriff's Office gives him on complying with the local regulations, but that he thinks the ordinance is poorly conceived and unfairly requires gun-show organizers to police their vendors. He said he would prefer that background checks be run directly by law enforcement, but that agencies have rejected his request that they do so.

"I'll do what I have to do, but I'm uncomfortable with it, because I'm not a cop," he said. "It's not the responsibility of a gun-show owner to enforce the law."

On Monday, Gualtieri sent Lemakos a letter to "remind" him of his vendors' responsibilities under the ordinance.

"We hope there will be voluntary compliance with Pinellas County's background check law and that enforcement of the ordinance will not be necessary," the sheriff wrote.

Gualtieri said he hopes that gun show vendors and organizers will willingly follow the law, which requires that unlicensed firearms sellers — who are not regulated by state or federal law — run background checks on their customers. The checks are supposed to be processed through third-party, licensed gun dealers, who have access to a federal database of criminal and mental-health records.

Pinellas County Commission Chairman Ken Welch praised the sheriff's effort, saying he and Gualtieri had discussed how to enforce the gun-show ordinance in the days after the Times story was published last month. Welch said he had been aware the ordinance was on the books, but didn't know that it was not being actively enforced.

"I commend the sheriff for really taking a proactive stance on this once the information came out," Welch said. "It's not a cure-all, but it is addressing a loophole in the law. I think it's just another step to have reasonable laws for gun safety."

In 1998, Florida voters overwhelmingly supported a state constitutional amendment that allowed counties to require background checks for private gun sales on "property to which the public has the right of access," language that targeted gun shows.

The vote was influenced by Hank Earl Carr, a convicted felon from Tampa who acquired guns despite his criminal record. In May 1998, Carr fatally shot a 4-year-old boy, two Tampa police officers and a Florida Highway Patrol trooper before killing himself.

Federally licensed gun dealers who appear at shows must run background checks on buyers. However, the expositions also tend to attract private sellers, who are not regulated under any state or federal law and can thus sell to customers without checking their criminal histories.

Today, seven Florida counties encompassing close to half the state's population — Pinellas, Hillsborough, Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, Sarasota and Volusia — have ordinances closing the gun-show loophole.

Despite the fanfare that attended the 1998 state constitutional amendment and later passage of the ordinances, the laws have been virtually unenforced in those counties, the Times found last month. ]]> bigdog21 http://www.floridaconcealedcarry.com/Forum/showthread.php?38607-Pinellas-sheriff-to-revive-enforcement-of-county-law-closing-gun-show-loophole Inside the Criminal mind http://www.floridaconcealedcarry.com/Forum/showthread.php?38605-Inside-the-Criminal-mind&goto=newpost Tue, 21 May 2013 16:19:10 GMT This coming weekend we have Dr Cipriano Jr from SIMCIP Group coming on The Bullseye Radio Talk Show.
