What A 2nd Amendment Supporter Did To An ATF Booth Will Make You Laugh
Independent Journal Review ^ | January 17, 2014 | soopermexican

When you’re the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, and you set up a booth at the largest gun show in the world, you’re gonna have to expect some shenanigans from the gun enthusiast attendees.

One particularly clever 2nd Amendment supporter snuck up to the ATF booth and committed one of the more hilarious acts of political commentary we’ve seen in a long time:

While we cannot condone vandalism, we salute the wit of the gun right advocate in his modest act of civil disobedience.

They try to project a gentler image.

I have even talked with them at Farm Shows. They were there to talk about ELF and others destroying crops.

Told them about intentional arson on one of our fields and 2 of our neighbors. Drive by type. We were able to put them out in time so no significant damage was done. All 3 fields were totally ripe and ready to harvest.

I had no problem with them being at the farm show. But that was not under Obozo.

Cool. Except the proper Greek transliteration should be "Molon Lave". the Beta "B" has the "V" sound.

If we're going to bait the bureaucrats and tax collectors we should strive to perfect our Greek.

Uhhh... Our Koine Greek that is. It's not like we're liberals or anything.

We used a flag in Texas at the Battle of Gonzales.

Said: “Come and Take it”

Yes, they know it is not going to happen in Texas.

It was tried once before, that did not work out very well.

What I want to know is why these batfe thugs have a booth at the show?


They are there every year.

They advise dealers and manufacturers how to comply with regulations, to avoid getting their doors kicked in at 3AM for paperwork violations.

This is the first time in decades I’ve heard of the slightest show of disrespect to them at this show, other than giving them a wide berth as I do.
