ATF - a redneck's nightmare.

"They took mah beer, mah Copenhagen, and mah .45"

(just for the record, I don't think I have six degrees of separation from 'redneck' myself.)

Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms should be a convenience store, not a government agency.

The agents involved should be jailed for life for civil rights violations and abusing their official authorities. Yes, jailed for LIFE, no parol.

[sean327]

If this crap were to happen to me, I would tell the ATF to kiss my a$$, and take my chances in court. This is nothing short of intimidation. I am not one of those 'Militia" freaks, but I hate the ATF. These clowns consitantly overstep their bounds, and don't give a damn who's lives they destroy. The ATF needs to be thrown into the Dust-bin of History along with Stalin, Hitler, Lennin, Pol Pot..........

[CodeToad]

Considering the agents like to scare people with legal references, let's add one against the agents:

---

Section 242. Deprivation of rights under color of law

Whoever, under color of any law, statute, ordinance, regulation, or custom, willfully subjects any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured or protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or to different punishments, pains, or penalties, on account of such person being an alien, or by reason of his color, or race, than are prescribed for the punishment of citizens, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both; and if bodily injury results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include the use, attempted use, or threatened use of a dangerous weapon, explosives, or fire, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and if death results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include kidnapping or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill, shall be fined under this title, or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, or both, or may be sentenced to death.

Someone (the NRA? SLF? GOA?) should be sueing this agency and these agents for civil rights violations.

[LIConFem]

Disband the BATF and ship 'em all off to our southern border. Let 'em harass illegals for a change.

My experience with the ATF, on a military range in Maryland, is that they were just Mall Cops with guns. Heck, Barney Fife is more competent then the ATF in a fire-fight.

"These must be the dumbest ATF agents in the entire agency," Delahunt said. "I am absolutely shocked that they could be that stupid.

So, how many of you believe that it's only the State Department that is infested by PC RAT minions?

So where is the "Bush's fault" commentary?
It certainly can be placed at his feet if, like Truman, he comprehended where "the buck" really stops.

This agency needs a fast kick in the teeth from on high and from constitutionalists.

If they started to purchase a gun [the agents] would ask them why they were buying it, what were they buying it for, what did they need that gun for,"...

It is really a good thing that they didn't ask me that question. I'd have probably ended up in jail for saying something like "to protect myself against a-holes like you."

Operations like this reinforce my opinion that every gun owner should have at least one gun - and all related ammo and accessories - that isn't on paper. Buy it from another gun owner who's not an FFL, or buy an antique - both for cash. Of course, I have yet to follow my own advice :>)

Agents of the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), allegedly acting without warrants or legislative authority to do so, seized firearms from at least 50 gun show patrons in Virginia...

Looks like Virginia has fallen. I wonder why patriots would allow such disgusting abuses to take place.

[paul51]

If they broke the law, and it sounds as though they did, I'd like to know what the congress does about it.

"When I asked them what their criteria was for the people that they collected the 4473s on at the Pittsburgh show, the answer I got back was, 'If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck it's a duck. That's all we need,'" McComas continued.

Gov't out of control

[Leatherneck_MT]

"If they started to purchase a gun [the agents] would ask them why they were buying it, what were they buying it for, what did they need that gun for,"

Personally I wouldn't pee on an ATF agent to put out a fire.

Congress needs to get these jack booted thugs under control, NOW.
