Never thought I'd be doing this, but there are people in the BATF who take their jobs seriously as revenuers, making sure tobacco and alcohol taxes get collected, and some even interdicting/recovering weapons we'd universally agree were headed into or in the wrong hands (known criminals).

Most organizations contain at least some LEOs who do take their oaths seriously, while in many varying numbers of agents have been corrupted by those who would use the organizations for purely political ends.

It is the standards of the whistleblowers which helped greatly to break this story open.

As the bad apples are weeded out, it also leaves room for the agents with more integrity to move up.

IMHO, the only firearms the BATFE should be worried about are those in or going into criminal hands, the rest of us should have no infringements on our RKBA, including the NFA.
