When will Bondi go after Garland?
The ATF needs to pay for that one.
Well, there's always a first time. Problem is that experts are given WAY too much weight in trial settings; indeed "experts" are a blight on humanity in general.
I used to know an ATF agent. He was an actual gun guy. He was over the house one day after having to confiscate a WWII bring back sub-machine gun from a vet.
He was sick that such an historical artifact was going to be destroyed. The law offers zero relief for that.
We’ve lost touch. No idea if he’s still with the agency.
“ Bodell admitted he had never testified as an expert witness, but the Judge certified him as such”
********************************************************
I’ve learned from following the Karen Read trial that an “expert witness” is whoever the trial judge wants to to be treated as such. A corrupt judge will simply “certify” as an expert who they want (however obviously lacking in expertise) and refuse to require them to undergo a requested voir dire. All the while the corrupt judge would require obviously well qualified experts to undergo multiple (four) voir dires.
This poor sergeant was “railroaded” by the agenda driven Biden ATF.
These Biden admin agents are still here, they are just keeping their heads down for the next 3 years. Then it’ll be back to normal business.
I remember when non-firing replicas of sub machine guns came on the market. One man bought one and showed it to his friends, one then dropped a dime on him to the ATF. They investigated and he had to prove it was not a firing firearm or be arrested.
Then there was a man who had a perfectly legal taxed and licensed mint condition Thompson sub machine gun.
One day the cops came and confiscated the firearm. He then sued and two or three years later got his mint condition Thompson back, so rusted up it was now worthless.
Reminds me of South Africa in the 1870s when natives would work for a “Birmingham Gas Pipe” (musket). One day the government ordered them all in for “registration” and refused to give them back. After quite a stink over it, the firearms were all given back, so damaged they were unusable.
most advocates of getting rid of the ayyyeeeeteeeef focus on its patent unconstitutionality, on the natural right of citizens to self-defense, for game hunting, for sport, all of the good reasons.
but there’s an additional very important need, reason to shut it down now. As illustrated in this report. It is the directc danger the agency represents to Americans, by its direct armed assaults and false arrests of people who’ve done nothing wrong EVEN by their unlawful “laws” and “regulations” ———
Obama sought to create a “domestic army at least as strong or stronger than the army we deploy overseas”
hopefully the far leftists behind most of the anti=constitutional agitation will pause to consider what armed “civilian” agencies mean for THEIR future and their liberties. (Since they obviously don’t want anybody else or America as “land of the free...” to have any freedom, liberties ....)
“Back the Blue”
Which is worse though? FBI or ATF. Both are despicable organizations filled with power hungry crooks.
