Best regards to all,

Never trust an organization that plants its flag on property after a raid.

This is all so wrong. They're worried about people who have done NOTHING to harm this country and then turn a blind eye to millions of illegal aliens intent on bringing the nation to its knees. Boy, is this country screwed up!

They've had it in for gunsmiths for some time. It's an easy bust - all they have to do is intimidate one guy into not renewing his FFL and they've gotten "another illegal arms dealer off the street." Promotions all around. The Brady bunch laps it up.

Its a sad time in American history. This is exactly why i almost never buy my guns from FFL's anymore. One day those Background check papers will be collected. I believe they are collected by the ATF once a gun shop closes down.

I buy most of my guns privatly now. Its none of the governments damm business what i own.

"Manufacturing a firearm" is probably this side of putting together a potato gun ~

The is George Bush's BATF. After 5 years trying to blame Clinton won't work. Bush owns this one and he needs to take steps to stop the abuses.

I thought this was a pro-gun executive branch?

I thought I was the only one that noticed that.

During the fire you can see the Davidian flag floating away. But the flag pole was upwind of the fire and several yards away from the building.

The bastards cut away the Branch Davidian flag and raised thier own.

May God damn their souls to hell.

Take a moment to picture this...

Institutionally, rot & corruption can be so entrenched that neither Clinton or Bush can be blamed for the putrid and murderous attempts to join the big leagues of federal law enforcement agencies. They (ATF) are gonna get respect no matter how many people they have to kill!

Or as importantly, one whose very reason for existance is to violate the highest law in the land. BATFE no longer collects taxes, on "A", "T", or "F", now that they are part of Justice rather than treasury, so their main reason for existance is to enforce the unconstitution gun control laws.

Since even the President isnt'omnificent, I'd amend that to say that he owns it as soon as he's informed of the abuses.

OMG! Why would they go after someone who works with SINGLE action revolvers?

The BATF is nothing more than home to a bunch of homegrown terrorists. Waco, Ruby Ridge, all the FFL dealers they terrified in the middle of the night to check their records.

I don't see how a civil war can be avoided in this country with everything that is going on being handled so poorly.

It appears that apparently to thumb their noses at the current Congressional inquiry into BATF abuses...

Who is involved in this inquiry? They need to introduce a bill to diband these tyrant thugs.

WTF, so if you go and install a match grade barrel on a firearm you already own it is considered 'manufacturing' a new firearm and you need to be a FFL?

Absurd.

Moral of the story, don't ever sign anything until you review it with legal counsel.

President Bush could have disbanded them, instead of moving them to the Justice department. Now they feel even more "in competition" with the FBI, ICE and other federal law enforcement agencies to see who has the biggest .. er .. "equipment"

Someone whose been in government that long and claims conservative credentials would mistrust the entrenched and proactively investigate to look for abuses and set out policies prescribing brutal punishment for civil rights abuses by staffers BEFORE he was aware of any abuses, just in case. Course the Federal employees unions would get their panties in a twist, but they already go to permanent maximum twist any time there's a (R) in office, so what more are they going to do?
