batfe has no jurisdiction on records checks. that's the FBI. batfe is a TAX AGENCY. their job is to keep records and collect taxes on NFA weapons. they should not take military action over alleged violations a $200 tax. and that is exactly what happened at both waco and ruby ridge. it was alleged that they had an NFA regulated weapon that they hadn't paid a $200 tax on.
if you do that on income taxes they send you a letter. do that with an NFA weapon, the take military action.
and also, batfe has admitted numerous times that their records are often incorrect and incomplete.

EXCEPT that BATFE was moved from Treasury to Department of Homeland Security after 9/11 to protect us better, for our own good, "for the children."

If Bush were the President he pretends to be, he would leave Crawford and go back to DC and fire everyone in the BATFE chain of command who had anything to do with this. I'm not holding my breath. I'm learning Spanish.

If true, what this action in Richmond shows is that there is a huge sleeping bureaucracy biding its time just under the surface until the return of an administration that would not only sanction but encourage and reward such actions. God help us if the anti-terror apparatus created by Bush falls into the hands of Hillary.
