So the next guy will impose the emperor’s decree.

“ATF employees are hard-working, dedicated individuals who serve the public to make our nation safer every day,”

Safer than what?

Safer from whom?

[rktman]

So, how many folks are employed in the BATFE? They all need to step down. Then I may feel a little safer. Maybe..........

[CrazyIvan]

I nominate Ted Nugent!

[Doogle]

I’m thinking, just Odungo’s way of laying the blame on someone else.

[ColdOne]

I wonder why they got him to go? Did he already want to leave? Valjar never makes anyone go.

“ATF employees are hard-working, dedicated individuals who serve the public to make our nation safer every day,” Jones said in a statement. “I have seen firsthand their extraordinary commitment to combating violent crime, ridding the streets of criminals, and leveraging all available resources to keep our communities safe.”

Bull$h!t.

[Buckeye McFrog]

If you want to ban ammo, you’ll need a black female heading the ATF to ensure Republicans are scared to death to oppose it.

The ATF announced Friday that Director B. Todd Jones is resigning at the end of the month “to pursue other opportunities in the private sector."

Some ‘Good Liberal’ somewhere will give him an overpaid job that he uniquely unqualified for as a reward for fighting the good fight and taking one for the cause.

This is really laughable. There really isn’t such a thing as an AR15 “pistol.”
There are what are called SBR’s (short-barreled rifles), but as I recall, most of them have 10 inch barrels which isn’t normally what you’d call a pistol.

[smokingfrog]

Bloomberg will give him a job.

[Robert357]

A very good start.

The Texas Federal judge who stopped the Obama Amnesty executive order did it because the federal agency did not follow public comment requirements associated with a major change in policy.

It is clear that ATF also did not follow proper public comment requirements in its ban, then call for comments, then ignore comments on the steel core “green” bullet ban. As such, the ATF ban could have been overturned on a similar basis on not following federal register rules. I would bet that had there been litigation and DISCOVERY, there would have been some “very bad smoking gun” emails from the White house to ATF that would have made the headlines. Having the ATF director step down and take the hit for the team, is what is probably happening so that nobody investigates too closely.

[ChildOfThe60s]

No matter how nasty, unethical, heinous or illegal the action of a leftist gun grabber. It never rises above the oblique mantle of “controversy”.

[drypowder]

“ATF employees are hard-working, dedicated individuals who serve the public to make our nation safer every day,”

what a crock of bull sh!t

[Lazamataz]

The ONLY reason anyone steps down in this Administration is to make room for someone even worse.

Expect a whirlwind, folks.

[ForYourChildren]

This is great news. I would never have thought that pressure on them could result in something like this. It is now time to double down. Apply more pressure, they are down but not out. And we don’t want them getting back up. We want them out. The BATFEGSHKD.... was put into place during prohibition, well, that amendment has been rescinded, but the BATFEGSHKD just continued, and kept growing. They need to disappear.

[NEMDF]

0bama probably told him to bail out, since he got “caught” on this ammo-banning deal. 0bama needs someone who can make it work like the DHS deal, where they just go off doing their own enforcement (or lack thereof), and keep it under the radar for as long as possible.

[facedown]

... attempt to ban certain armor-piercing bullets used in AR-15 rifles.

They just can't let go of the false meme.

Jones, who in July 2013 became the first ATF director to be confirmed by the Senate and led the agency after a scandal involving the agency's infamousl botched Operation Fast and Furious" gun tracking initiative, Jones, who in July 2013 became the first ATF director to be confirmed by the Senate and led the agency after a scandal involving the agency's infamousl botched Operation Fast and Furious" gun tracking initiative,

The only thing they botched was that ‘initiative’ became public knowledge.

They never attempted to track the rifles and never intended to track them. If tracking them in Mexico had been their intention they would have put some kind of tracking device in the rifles and would have sought help from the Mexican government neither of which was done.

Nice puff piece from Hill.

[hadaclueonce]

Make sure this guy doesn’t do a Holder and stick around forever.

Now is the time to shut down the ATF.

No more “stern letters.”
