KingCast pings ATF Attorneys Roy Chabra, ATF Director (TBD) and President Barack Obama and VP Joe Biden on Gregory Floyd and 18 U.S.C. 922(g)(1).

By Christopher King

Dear Attorney Chabra: It has been more than four (4) months now since we spoke about Gregory W. Floyd's ongoing 18 U.S.C. 922(g)(1) violations as I mentioned to you in my handwritten note this week. At least one such violation did occur within the Statute of Limitations when he turned in a firearm last year after he was convicted of criminally threatening AJ Boisvert. I predicted his conviction of course in my KingCast amicus brief, vis a vis State v. Gibbs, 953 A.2d 439 (2008). Read it and weep, Floyd. Good job, kudos to Kelly on Gibbs :)

I know some well-respected, professionally established folks from Franconia have telephoned you as well. And of course I know that Vice President Biden acknowledged my concerns, gave me a hug and promised that he would prosecute people like Gregory W. Floyd -- who is now thankfully behind bars at the Big House for multiple probation violations stemming from his anger management issues. See posts one and two (with courthouse pics you won't see anywhere else!).

But what I don't know is who the ATF Director is going to be (now that Michael Sullivan has resigned) or what your office plans on doing with this dangerous (a conviction in every decade as noted by me repeatedly, and by Prosecutor James Vara yesterday) public miscreant -- and Kelly Ayotte's "hero" -- Gregory W. Floyd? I'm not going to go away unless or until I get an answer. As a citizen of the United States, and under President Obama's Open Government policy is that too much to ask?
