What could a white-collar airport executive have that they went after him so hard and fast?  Had to be something big

Had to be more than selling a rifle at a gun show...

 An executive for the Little Rock, Arkansas, airport who was killed in a shootout with federal agents this week had been under investigation over gun sales, search warrant records unsealed Thursday show.
Bryan Malinowski, 53, who was executive director of Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport, was shot after he opened fire at federal agents who arrived to serve a warrant Tuesday morning, officials said, according to NBC News.
Malinowski died Thursday, his family said. His brother has said he was shot in the head.
An affidavit filed by an agent with the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives that was unsealed Thursday says the search involved an investigation into the sale of firearms without a license.

A Clinton Airport Executive has died after ATF federal agents raided his home and shot him


53-year-old Bryan Malinowski, the executive director of Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport, has died from injuries sustained in a shootout with ATF federal agents during a raid to execute a search warrant at his residence in West Little Rock, Arkansas. His brother recounted the events, alleging that agents forcibly entered the home and fatally shot Bryan with a high-caliber rifle, leaving the family confused. 'The ATF burst into his house in the most dangerous manner possible,' said the brother. 'The easiest and most common way to handle this situation would have been to wait until he got in his car, pull him over, and arrest him.

From the news source at the link below it claims ATF had a search warrant thereby allowing them to legally enter the home and it appears the airport executive fired at them first.

The ATF appears notorious for "being allowed" to enter places this way.

Warrants never explicitly say "Blast into the place, menacingly, yelling and threatening, waving weapons and demonstrating total disregard for the safety of the suspect, those with him or her, or their property."

But somehow, nearly every report indicates they mostly do.

Why are they trained in thuggery and intimidation?  And worse still... why is the criminal justice system OK with that?

My post post didn't say suggest on infer they didn't have a search warrant, LOL it in fact it said in the post

"was shot after he opened fire at federal agents who arrived to serve a warrant"

I was more interested in knowing how a white collar airport executive gets wrapped up in arms dealing in Little Rock Arkansas
or is the connections at the airport help facilitate their movement. Questionable on a number levels.

Any time a warrant is served is dangerous, no doubt but these federal warrants have lately ended with the death of the accused.

Maybe we're all looking at this wrongly. Maybe he saw someone's 747 come into the airport without their transceiver turned on, and asked about who or what was going on. Maybe this "warrant" was a "Death Warrant" because he asked about that/those flights.

With it being Arkansas you never know, interesting write-up from his workplace, I'd imagine he would have to move quite a few guns at profit for the ATF to take notice. Which FWIW it sounds like it was more than selling his personal collection.

Attorney and gun laws expert Jeff Wankum of Wankum Law Firm in North Little Rock said lawyers are familiar with private gun sales and what federal agents identified as part of the gun show loophole
“There’s a lot of debate about what they call the ‘gun show loophole,’” Wankum stated.
He said the loophole essentially boils down to the blurry line when a private gun seller becomes a business. There isn’t a set line for how many guns someone can sell a year in Arkansas. The question ATF looks at is why someone is selling the guns.
If someone is buying and selling repeatedly predominantly to earn a profit, the ATF does not consider that a private seller anymore. They consider that a violation because it is effectively dealing in firearms without a license along with unlawfully acquiring them are the alleged violations that resulted in the search warrant for Malinowski’s home.
 A federal firearms license allows a person to sell guns commercially, but anyone can sell a gun privately. While FFL holders must perform background checks and keep a thorough record of all transactions, private sellers do not.
Bryan Malinowski, the Little Rock airport executive shot by ATF agents, dies from injuriesHowever, the legal documents claim Malinowski bought as many as 24 guns at once saying they were for him and he would then allegedly resell the guns in some cases as little as 24 hours.
“With what he was dealing with there was a volume that went along with the speed that his stuff was being sold, and that is obviously what piqued the interest of the ATF,” Wankum said.
ATF stated the only question Malinowski asked undercover agents was whether they were 21 when selling handguns. Wankum explained that, legally, that is all Malinowski had to do.
