BATF wants your “back door.”
If I could speak to McCain and Palin, I’d tell them both to completely disband the BATFE.

McCain would ignore you.
On the 2A, both Hussein Obama and McCain are GOA-rated “F” candidates.
BATFE is already hooked into the point-of-sale systems at most firearms dealers.
Defund the DEA and ATF. We can use the money saved for something important like energy independence.
You would have thought that Inslaw’s PROMIS program debacle would have alerted them to such appropriation:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inslaw
Kind of like how Microsoft feigned a partnership with Sendo (a phone manufacturer) to get into the cell phone market. Microsoft invested, got all their trade secrets, then delayed the promised OS for the phone until Sendo went broke and the partnership agreement gave Microsoft the rights to use all of Sendo’s technology. Microsoft then took that somewhere else to make its smart phone. Sendo sued, Microsoft settled.
Unfortunately this company may not be able to sue the BATF.
ATF needs to be disbanded. It serves no useful function, and does much harm. It is a prime candidate for de-funding in these times of penury.
Find that hard to believe. Do you have details or just talking? No dealer Im familiar w/ would allow that.
ATF:
Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms.
ATF should be a convenience store, not a Federal Agency.
Details? BATFE has no hooks in my computers. I'm keeping it that way and going with the free Coloseum software.
Also, as a long-time software developer and dba, ATF's actions (theft of intellectual property) make my blood boil. Someone needs to be slapped... hard.
I don’t have any, just what I’ve observed at my local gun store.
I could be mistaken, but I’m pretty sure that I asked the manager about it, since we’re friends— and he answered affirmatively.
After doing some research, I found that Colosseum Software has been banned from several firearm forums for shilling. Karma, baby...
Our shop has a connection to the inventory system and special ordering information. Nothing else.
If you can show ANY dealer in the US that would allow that, I'd believe it, but I don't think you can.
That’s what Barney said.

BATFE = Beat America Through Fraud and Enslavement
