More demands for greater power for the ATF. After all, we can't have more tyranny without more minions.

Lack of Leadership, Influence of Gun Lobby Hamper ATF Gun Efforts

More gun victims: When will Congress get serious about the ATF?

After all, it's not like they just got caught with their hands in the cookie jar by facilitating the smuggling of semi-auto rifles to Mexican drug cartels, right?

SWIFT said...: To expand the power and size of the ATF, has long been a priority of the left. The left has even had a decades old love affair with that perjuring, POS, scumbag, Jim Cavanaugh. Anyone who'd want to be associated with him, publicly displays the fact that they are a whore. Congress should deal with the ATF; disarm them, disband them, disown them. They are as disgraceful an agency as Ernest Roehm's Brownshirts, in the 1930's. Like America really needs a second asshole.; December 30, 2012 at 9:38 AM
jon said...: would be interesting if a high capacity ban were passed and ATF saw mass resignations from it.

they ought to know that they're -- once again -- getting mighty close to a line where an individual can no longer excuse him- or herself from the group's behavior.

they have to know just how massively outnumbered they are. just read the FY 2010 report. "perm pos." permanent positions and "FTE" is full-time equivalent (divides out hours worked).

maybe everyone will just file out of the NICS/NFA branch and go work on gang violence instead? so long as nobody picks up when the phone rings, that might just meet approval.; December 30, 2012 at 10:04 AM
Anonymous said...: If confiscation of any type actually begins, I expect it to turn into a Raping, Murdering hoard.

The ATF, Federal Marshals and Roid Head Cops are already or are starting to train with Drones to take on the American people.

Some say this is about gun control others say it’s about control.

I say Obama and his minions are looking to change the Demographics of this nation!

If they can ELIMINATE enough of their opposition then they can remain in power for Decades!

ELIMINATING your opposition in the name of fighting terror or illegal guns is a perfect cover. It’s done in plain sight and under the color of law.

I say its time to Demand Congress Start Impeachment proceedings if Obama does not back down from his war on the American people!; December 30, 2012 at 2:34 PM

And Congress is somehow morally better than the F Troop? You'd have better odds of success telling a rapist to cut off his Johnson...; December 30, 2012 at 7:34 PM

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
