Texas Justice (If You Can Afford It) As BATF Entraps Arwady
Bob Arwady, The EPA, And BATF Entrapment
Bob Arwady owns a gun store, the Ammo Dump and formerly a rifle range in Houston, Texas.
He made the government mad at him when he beat back the state EPA attempt to shut down his range.
In a process that cost him over $100,000 and three years of his life in court, Arwady showed that the lead in rifle bullets that collected in the berms on his range could not possibly contaminate ground water as the environmental extremists in the state government were alleging.
