Best regards to all,
Best regards,
The BATFE should be abolished. The '34 and '68 gun control acts should be repealed, as should all other federal and state gun control laws.
My gun control is a steady hand.

Do we want Rudy appointing people to the ATF?
Do you think any of the Rudy pushers will even comment on this? I'm not going to hold my breath.

I doubt it, but it's always good to innoculate.
Has it ever been otherwise?
These type of situations disgust me beyond belief. This is what happens when immoral people are in positions of power, they bulldoze those who bother them.
bump for later
Sue them, sue them for violating your 2nd amendment, 9th,10th, and 14th amendment rights.
Yes. It would have been nice if we had made some progress on repealing both when we had control of the house and the senate.
I'm witchoo.
From the book:
Broken
The Troubled Past and Uncertain Future of the FBI
Richard Gid Powers
2004
In 1933 when it was decided to merge several bureaus. Hover did not want the 1200 “Dry Agents” from the Prohibition Bureau. Because they were hopelessly corrupt. And Hover did not want them corrupting or tarnishing his special agents.
So Hover setup a new Alcoholic Beverage Unit. To keep the Dry Agents from contaminating his men.
Guess what there called now.
No.
Their initial purpose was to enforce/gather the excise taxes on liquor and tobacco, and later included the transfer tax on class III weapons as well.
IIRC, Lloyd Bentsen was the one who essentially declared the street sweeper and other firearms to be "destructive devices" under the ATF regs during the Clinton Administration, and he was Secretary of the Treasury then.
I agree that the NFA of '34, GCA of 68 and a host of other infringements ought to be repealed, but the best opportunity we have had for such in decades was wasted by the former majority holders in both houses. Pity.

Should be a convenience store, not a federal agency.
Ga Democrat (former senator) Zell Miller is a lot more conservative than any of the current leading Republican presidential hopefuls. Can you imagine what will happen with our gun rights if Guiliani, Romney, Mccain, or Clinton becomes president. There isn't a f@rt in a hurricane's worth of difference among them in this regard
