I was curious about this as well, the Foreign Policy article has more detail:
"In his affidavit, Keighley describes learning that Daniels placed a firearm in his checked luggage — in compliance with airline regulations, according to the defense — which was then delayed, before being returned to his home address in Dallas.
The FBI obtained a search warrant on Dec. 7, based on Daniels’s prior conviction, and the raid took place five days later."

This indicates the warrant was indeed for illegal possession.
- miek 8y agoInteresting, nice find and thanks- I was curious as well. I guess the warrant was wrongly issued and pursued then, given that the judge tossed that charge out. If that is the case, it really seems to boil down to intimidation.
