No. He was an honest trader and the government scum set him up. Read before you blab, that link was in the OP article.

In the meeting, my attorney told the prosecutor that selling store bought firecrackers on Ebay isnt a big deal and that we can pay a fine and do some community service to be done with everything. When the prosecutor agreed that that sounded reasonable one of the ATF agents pounded his hand on the table and shouted but you didnt hear the things that he said! This summed up very clearly that they were angry about the things that I had said, not the things that I had done.

Something is badly wrong with justice anyways, when selling fireworks is considered illegal even though they were properly paid for (and not stolen). A proper sales contract between two private individuals, how can that be illegal?!?!?!

When you are up for a crime it is normal to consider both what is said and what is done. It is also normal to consider some types of transactions illegal for a variety of reasons. In this case it was accidents caused by people improperly handling or using the explosives. Back when people lived in caves these restrictions did not exist.
