The highly influential Center for American Progress, which has deep ties to the Obama administration and Hillary Clinton, recently released an extensive report calling for the nation’s lead agency on gun regulation to be merged into the FBI.
The generalities of the centers 182-page report were widely covered by media upon its release last May. However, the details in the report were largely unmentioned, including by conservative media agencies.

January 2017 can’t come too fast.
Then I heard the Democrats want that.
Now I am all for BATF independence.
Paragraphs?
Shades of FIST during the Clinton era (Firearms Inquiry Statistical Tracking).
You’re describing defacto registration, aren’t you?
I have a terrible feeling his fundamental change includes not letting Trump or Cruz touch the inside of the WH
I see a lot of boating accidents in the future.
I see dead people.
Shore would be grand to be shoulder-to-shoulder with you in the Day of Reckoning.
Just forwarding developments.
Truth is, whenever a firearm’s been purchased with a form, it’s registered.
The no-gun-owner-records-retained line, is a lie.
All paper forms from decades ago are being digitized.
As for boating accidents -
Beware legislation in states and nationally that require reporting lost or stolen firearms within 72 hours.
CT has that and it’ll expand for certain.
See my tagine -
Time’s running out.
The highly influential Center for American Progress, which has deep ties to the Obama administration and Hillary Clinton, recently released an extensive report calling for the nation’s lead agency on gun regulation to be merged into the FBI.The generalities of the center’s 182-page report were widely covered by media upon its release last May. However, the details in the report were largely unmentioned, including by conservative media agencies.
The center’s report explains how merging the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, or ATF, into the FBI can result in more a proactive approach to gun regulation. That would include stepping up the collection of trace data on gun owners; more policing of sales at gun shows and the Internet; and enhanced gun regulation functions.
The report and other recent center recommendations may provide a window into the thinking of a future Clinton administration, with Clinton taking a strong anti-gun stance as part of her presidential campaign.
CAP was founded by John Podesta, who directed Obama’s transition into the White House in 2009 and served as White House counselor until earlier this year, when he took on the role of chairman of Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign.
The ATF’s primary mission is supposed to be to police the illegal market of guns and to target the criminal use of weapons.
Glenn Beck’s “Control: Exposing the Truth About Guns” a passionate, fact-based case for guns that reveals why gun control isn’t about controlling guns
However, the CAP report finds the ATF is “struggling” to successfully carry out its core functions. The report cites inadequate oversight and accountability throughout the agency, limited resources, operating restrictions and what it claims is a lack of effective coordination with other law enforcement agencies, especially the FBI.
Many of them.
I guess we are fortunate then that we chose to ignore the leftist plants on the right that came here demanding we elect lesser evil rather than principled people.
Oh wait. We most didn’t do that here or anywhere else. They listened to the leftists and elected people willing to compromise the entire constitution. And now they are worried about the consequences of their actions.
Well it’s not like no one warned people. If I were one of the people duped by posters on this site, I’d be sorta pissed about that.
Link did not work for me.
I searched for the article and this is the link I found:
Democrats’ plan to put ATF on steroids
Data collection on legal gun owners, enhanced firearms regulation

Wow, all that sounds terribly efficient, particularly for the feds. My first question though is this... Just when/where/how has the case been made/proven that these things are needed? What tangible, demonstrable, real-world benefit does a law abiding US citizen see from any of this? My strong suspicion is the honest answer to that is none. So while this sounds like a laudable obvious move, there really is no compelling, Constitutionally legal reason to do it.
