The main thrust of the government's case is that the Reeses "knew or should have known" that the guns they were selling were going directly to the Mexican cartels. Supposedly, some of the sales were to undercover officers who made it clear that was their intention with the guns.
I don't agree with the government's methods (asset forfeiture and seizure before the trial, the fact that the Reeses were denied bond entirely, etcetera), but Mr Reese sounds like a piece of work. This quote from him is in one of the court documents:
"I hope my guns go to Mexico ... I hope they use them to shoot those crooked (expletive deleted) federales in the (expletive deleted)."
