VICTOR Sean Martineck...(spoke to) the government class of Victor Senior High School teacher Mike Myers ... on ... the ...serious topic of gun violence, the Second Amendment and getting illegal guns off the streets something that takes up a great deal of his time as a special agent for the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives, assigned to the Violent Crime Task Force in the Rochester satellite office.
Martineck read (the Second Amendment), noting it was passed in 1791.
What did our Founding Fathers mean by that? he asked. Do you think our Founding Fathers envisioned the type of world we live in today?
He then reviewed a history of laws governing firearms and events that triggered them, starting with the 1934 National Firearms Act that required tax stamps on machine guns, sawed-off shotguns and destructive devices like a pipe bomb.
My stance, as an ATF agent, is if they say this is the law, Im going to enforce it, Martineck said, noting he personally believes no one but police and military should have assault weapons.
He was bothered by the students seeming acceptance that there is nothing they can do to stop school shootings because they are not old enough to vote, and believing the momentum in the wake of Parkland will fade like it has after previous shootings.
I dont feel like there cant be a change. If you want something changed, you can do it. You shouldnt feel like status quo. Congress needs to hear you guys. You guys are our future. Theres nothing more precious in our society than our kids. If thats not the tipping point, I dont know what is

The ATF lied repeatedly during the Waco investigation (timeline of the raid, incendiary devices on the last day,etc. etc.).
And no one in the ATF went to prison for the lies.
there is something more precious than our children... FREEDOM. what good is protecting our children if they will be enslaved by the ruling class that has kept their guns.
idiot
The Second Amendment was to insure that civilians had fire power more than equal to that of the oppressive government they had to fight in order to remain free. Whatever it takes.
i thought weimer republic registered the guns and Hitler was able to use the registry to take them...
moot point as in gun control enabled the rise of tyranny...
in either case...
will look up the history soon.

When the militia is called up what will we bring to the fight sling shots? This moron doesn’t have a clue what the 2nd means. Maybe he feels the Feds will issue us all a AR when the time comes.
If the fecal material ever hits the fan we can expect a healthy percentage of these types doing lots of nefarious stuff.
My name is Reichsführer Heinrich Himmler, and I approve of this message.
Wow, an anti-2A ATF agent activist. Im shocked. Not.
How queer, it was inaction in law enforcement by Gov. Moonbeam Brown that forced same sex marriage on the nation (the Supremacist Court rejected the “standing” of those who petitioned for the ballot measure and the State refused to defend the ballot measure they personally opposed).
A jackbooted thug and proud of it.
If he comes knocking for your semi-autos, you know what to do.
Also, read the double-speak from these ghouls when the topic about abortion comes up.
He’s about “enforcing the law” right?
When the time comes to start killing Christians - I bet he complies since that’s “his job” - to enforce the “law”.
After being continuosly being told how ‘special’ they are and collecting a wall full of participation trophies, they’re definitely ready to make national policy.
And I personally believe Jack-booted thugs such as yourself should find another job.
The writers of the US Constitution never envisioned an out of control agency of ATF-shitheads, either, yet, here you are.
Worthless turd.
Yes, you can make your own Destructive Device/Pipe Bomb if you have an Type 10FFL/02 SOT and Form 1 a pipe bomb.
You can buy one HERE

And therein lies the problem. His belief leaves the citizenry completely at the mercy of those that are armed. Target rich environment and makes We The People nothing more than peons. This ATF agent needs to find employment elsewhere.

What do you expect when:
1) One ‘works’ for the govt
2) One’s job is to enforce the ‘law’, though it clearly violates the Constitution.
2b) Sounds like he’d had NO problem enforcing any other ‘lawful’ order(s), though it might violate OTHER Rights (aka confiscation), or shooting into an unarmed crowd, or...
IE: Sounds like he knows whom butters his bread and prob. enjoys the power-rush.
Spoken like a true Nazi.
". . . It was my misfortune to become entangled in these atrocities. But these misdeeds did not happen according to my wishes. It was not my wish to slay people. . . . Once again I would stress that I am guilty of having been obedient, having subordinated myself to my official duties..."Adolf Eichmann-1961
"The fact that a person acted pursuant to order of his Government or of a superior does not relieve him from responsibility under international law, provided a moral choice was in fact possible to him." Principle IV- Nuremberg Trials
Well, now. That’s pretty sweet.
Fascinating that BATFE agent is a constitutional law expert. Perhaps Martineck sound read some USSC rulings regarding firearms as well as read Federalist Paper 46 and Federalist Paper 29.
