Obama’s Pick for ATF Chief Is ‘Anti-Gun,’ Say Pro-Second Amendment Groups
CNS News ^ | November 24, 2010 | Chris Johnson

Gun rights advocates are unhappy with President Barack Obama’s pick to head the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF).

Obama announced on Nov. 15 his intent to nominate Andrew Traver, presently the special agent in charge of the ATF's Chicago office, to be the director of the agency.

Both the National Rifle Association (NRA) and the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms (CCRKBA) criticized the president’s selection.

According to the NRA, "Traver has been deeply aligned with gun control advocates and anti-gun activities. This makes him the wrong choice to lead an enforcement agency that has almost exclusive oversight and control over the firearms industry, its retailers and consumers.”

Any more, I would assume than anyone who takes that job is anti-gun, or more specifically, anti-citizens-owning-guns. They don’t mind guns for themselves.

Well it usually goes without saying that Libs in Washington forget the 10th Amendment completely.

The federal government shouldn’t have an AFT. The Constitution doesn’t mention alcohol or tobacco.

The 5th, every April 15 (although this is not due to Obama, he does continue the crime every year).

He accepted Nobel Prize money, and in Sept. 2009, he accepted the chairmanship of the UN security council, both events violating Section 9 of the Constitution:

No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.

“Color me shocked. “

COlor me happy!

As Obama has been the greatest small arms salesman in the world, just so will Obama’s choice for ATFE prove to be the best educator for the 2nd Amendment that America has had.

Unfortunately, atrocities have to occur before the public demands change.

PS “Atrocious” was just named as ATFE’s head.
