Amish dairy farmer Reuben King’s farm in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, was raided on Jan. 12, 2022, by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF), which charged King with dealing in firearms without a license and confiscated 615 guns.

An undercover ATF agent bought five guns from King between October 2019 and March 2020, according to court papers filed by the ATF.
