Christopher Wray Gives Merrick Garland A Tommy Gun As A Going Away Gift

Posted • January 19, 2025: As reported earlier, (former) Attorney General received a standing ovation as he left his office for the last time. A lot of people are asking the Trump administration to use the video to see whom to fire at the Justice Department. Garland received more than just an ovation … (former) FBI Director Christopher Wray presented him on behalf of the CIA with a … Thompson submachine gun. This editor didn't believe it at first — no one's reported on it — but the video from C-SPAN proves it. FBI Director Christopher Wray gives Attorney General Merrick Garland a semi auto 1927A-1 Thompson 45ACP (aka Tommy Gun) with a 50 round drum magazine as a retirement gift. I'd love to know where this happened; if it happened in Washington DC this video would be documentation/evidence of multiple crimes… 🤨

For those who may have forgotten - this is the very same Merrick Garland that wanted to put you in a cage or send armed men with guns to kill you if you had an 80% receiver or arm brace. He's also the same man who advocated for an "assault weapons ban" which would criminalize owing a Tommy Gun (and most other semi autos). If "rules for thee but not for me" were a person it'd be Merrick Garland. It does seem a bit hypocritical … not to mention odd. Why do they think Garland wants a Tommy Gun? So he can defend himself from Donald Trump's Justice Department? Does Garland have all the proper paperwork and licenses to receive it? No one does in DC. That gun is an illegal Short Barreled Rifle because it has a barrel length under 16” (or under 14.5” with a pinned and welded flash hider). They are just rubbing our noses in the hypocrisy.

Did Wray buy it, or simply take it from the FBI? It’s a crime anywhere without paper and background check. Isn't that a straw purchase by Wray? It would be, if Wray hadn't most likely just purloined it from the FBI. Notice how they had it on a stand with a single agent nearby. I would guess that the agent "possesses" it and that there is a narrow loophole allowing it. That or it's a mock-up/prop. Even if it was a prop … what message is the CIA trying to send with this of all possible going-away gifts? The anti gun party giving guns to people when they retire is apex level hypocrisy. (…)
