So the ATF and APD want the "gun show loophole" closed and took matters into their own hands to make it happen?

Unbelievable. The ATF or APD are not legislators. They have a duty to enforce the law not make their own.

Let's say you were arrested for violating the flyer or handcuffed and detained and you fully cooperated with LE would you have grounds to file a lawsuit? What would they arrest you for? Don't they need probable cause to temporarily detain you?

Everyone should obey the orders of a LEO and then fight it out later in court.
