they offered you a choice,
"join us, get 200K a year, full benefits, indemnification, pretty much complete immunity from prosecution, AND your federal law enforcement officer so your NFA exempt, and your gonna be doing ALOT of red flag laws and no knock warrants, so if your gonna be a criminal, your going to be one for us."
OR
go to prison the rest of your life,
OR
get two in the back of the head and a shallow grave
what would you take?
If you can't beat 'em, join em, THEN BEAT THEM FROM THE INSIDE!!!
