    Nope. Just everyday ordinary fugitives from justice.

    I don't get the why, then. What was in it for Obama?

    What did he get for shutting down the coal industry? What was in it for him?

    The point is that the bad decision made by his justice department allowed 500,000 fugitives from justice to buy guns if they wanted to. All while pleading for "common sense" gun controls. Where was his "common sense" when this decision was made?

    Democrats hate guns in the hands of citizens. There is something missing in this story.

    From the article cited in the OP:

    the FBI considered any person with an outstanding arrest warrant to be a fugitive. On the other hand, the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives defined a fugitive as someone who has an outstanding arrest warrant and has crossed state lines. That disagreement was settled at the end of Obama’s second term, when the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel sided with the ATF’s interpretation.
    ​
    As I read this, the 500,000 may have had outstanding arrest warrants but they hadn't crossed state lines.

    Thanks. I just don't understand how this gets pinned to Obama. I don't see the upside for him in putting pressure on anyone to achieve this result. It does make sense. Given any chance, Obama would keep guns out of anyone's (except his secret service) hands.

    I could tell you what's missing, but I'll pass.

    Exactly. Which matters not at all.

    But that decision opened the floodgates for potential gun buyers.

    All the while, Obama is crying for "common sense" gun control laws.
