John Haughey, of Outdoor Life, has an interesting perspective on the FBI's recent SHOT Show arrests.
Please read his article.
Can't help but point out the final bit of his analysis, though:
Too bad the FBI and other law enforcement agencies aren't using these tactics to "capture a known terrorist or high-level drug trafficker," Syd laments.
Especially since the agency apparently spent $2.1 million per arrest during this 30-month investigation, according to "JoeT" on northeastshooters.com:
"Let's see, at $75,000 a year, it's $6,250 a month per agent," he calculates. "$6250 x 30 months = $187,500 per agent. $187,500 x 250 agents = $46,875,000 to arrest 22 people."
Voila! That's $46.875 million of your tax money to arrest 22 people, or more than $2.1 million each.
As a tax-payer, I'm a bit miffed...
