Just guessing, but a lot of the folks they have to deal with would as soon murder an agent's family as sell their next load of drugs. Anonymity helps.
I may end up among a few white faces in a sea of very black. The local people are wonderful, though they speak too much French! Many profess Islam, though they are nominal, at best. I have had lots of "Christian" conversations. They are simple honest people. Their only fear is the Islamofascists! Mine is the same, in figuring out where to take my grandchildren!
Life is becoming very "iffy", and the money printers are soon going to run out of ink! When something happens to DC (BIO, BOMB,???), all hell is then loose! Gold is too heavy to carry. Food is a real commodity, and the grocers shelves will quickly empty, though the food stamps won't work. The "taker class" will head south and west. RTKBA will be more important!
Come quickly, Lord Jesus!
Why American citizens tolerate this sort of AgencyPerson is beyond me.
Thanks to Islam and its conquest orientation and/or terrorist tendencies, America does have a need for immediate response to terrorists.
Imagine a terrorist attack like Beslan. Would not a well armed citizenry be more useful, both in terms of motivation to clear the school, and to intern Muslims?
How can anyone forget the picture of the obese, blue uniformed, porkess-in-uniform”? She was cowering behind a three foot thick tree with her rifle in her sweaty little hands.
Who ever allowed someone that physically unfit to wear a uniform should have his/her head examined for putting an obviously unfit person in a uniform, body armor, and expecting them to be an effective member of a functioning police force.
Sooner or alter, America must choose between the historic, Constitutionally mandated sovereign citizenry delegating to government limited powers and the Communist/Liberal system where the government is all powerful and “grants” to the citizens such rights as it wishes.
In America, there can be no reason for any officer, official, or government employee to have a hood on, or have a secret address. No person's life, liberty, or privacy is “More important” than another citizens.
Not in America, that is.
The question is, is this still an America of citizens - or a land of sheeple with hooded masters as is the case in other Turd World “nations”?
>>>>Need we any more evidence that the ATF exists to steal from Americans?
>>I always found the grouping of alcohol, tobbacco and firearms a rather odd mix of topics, even for a gubmint agency.....
As has been noted many times, Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms should be a convenience store, and not a government agency.
Your dreaming, and it’s a very bad dream. Another Constitutional Convention would be taken over by the Dems (they run the House and Senate and are the majority party in preference polls by more than 10%) and things like the first, second, fourth and fifth ammendment would be liberalized or eliminated all together.
No thanks! Not that I disagree with your suggestions, but the risk is way to high with a ConCon.
I prefer Bureau of A$$holes and Total F’ers.
I understand the sentiment, but if you only allow those who actually pay taxes to decide, the decisions will be more correct!
I like to call it: Representation without Taxation.
...and of course, I’m dreaming. Lock and load!
just curious but why do they wear black hoods?
They are made from fire retardant material and provide fire protection for head and face is the official reason. The fact they scare little kids and citizens to them is a plus.
I do too.
“translation?”

Yeah.
Apparently “ATF” now stands for “always think forfeiture”.
I don't see any "D" in BATFE. Since they've moved to Justice from Treasury, they don't have all that much to do with alcohol either, except for busting illegal stills and such. They no longer regulate or collect the taxes on legal alcohol sales.
But the enforcement of the drug laws are in another department, you know the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA).
ATF = Always Think Forfeiture. If that isn’t evidence that their primary goal is to steal from the people, I don’t know what is. In the future RICO will be remembered as the most blatant misuse of government power ever.
I take exception to that. Want to rephrase it, or would you like to be on the receiving end of a serious flamewar?
WRM, MSgt, USAF(Ret.)
I think you'll find it's public domain, and they can't stop you. Created at government, i.e. Taxpayer expense, after all.
The Feds have very little sense of humor, when you get that close to impersonation.
You been wearing any FBI logo’s lately?
Nope. I'm crazy, not stupid. On the other hand, I'm not at all fond of ATF, either.
Not to mention that at my college alone, there are probably over 500 F(emale) B(ody) I(nspector) tshirts wandering around on any given day.
