January 2017 can’t come too fast.
Then I heard the Democrats want that.
Now I am all for BATF independence.
Paragraphs?
Shades of FIST during the Clinton era (Firearms Inquiry Statistical Tracking).
You’re describing defacto registration, aren’t you?
I see a lot of boating accidents in the future.
The highly influential Center for American Progress, which has deep ties to the Obama administration and Hillary Clinton, recently released an extensive report calling for the nation’s lead agency on gun regulation to be merged into the FBI.The generalities of the center’s 182-page report were widely covered by media upon its release last May. However, the details in the report were largely unmentioned, including by conservative media agencies.
The center’s report explains how merging the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, or ATF, into the FBI can result in more a proactive approach to gun regulation. That would include stepping up the collection of trace data on gun owners; more policing of sales at gun shows and the Internet; and enhanced gun regulation functions.
The report and other recent center recommendations may provide a window into the thinking of a future Clinton administration, with Clinton taking a strong anti-gun stance as part of her presidential campaign.
CAP was founded by John Podesta, who directed Obama’s transition into the White House in 2009 and served as White House counselor until earlier this year, when he took on the role of chairman of Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign.
The ATF’s primary mission is supposed to be to police the illegal market of guns and to target the criminal use of weapons.
Glenn Beck’s “Control: Exposing the Truth About Guns” a passionate, fact-based case for guns that reveals why gun control isn’t about controlling guns
However, the CAP report finds the ATF is “struggling” to successfully carry out its core functions. The report cites inadequate oversight and accountability throughout the agency, limited resources, operating restrictions and what it claims is a lack of effective coordination with other law enforcement agencies, especially the FBI.
I guess we are fortunate then that we chose to ignore the leftist plants on the right that came here demanding we elect lesser evil rather than principled people.
Oh wait. We most didn’t do that here or anywhere else. They listened to the leftists and elected people willing to compromise the entire constitution. And now they are worried about the consequences of their actions.
Well it’s not like no one warned people. If I were one of the people duped by posters on this site, I’d be sorta pissed about that.
Link did not work for me.
I searched for the article and this is the link I found:
Democrats’ plan to put ATF on steroids
Data collection on legal gun owners, enhanced firearms regulation

Wow, all that sounds terribly efficient, particularly for the feds. My first question though is this... Just when/where/how has the case been made/proven that these things are needed? What tangible, demonstrable, real-world benefit does a law abiding US citizen see from any of this? My strong suspicion is the honest answer to that is none. So while this sounds like a laudable obvious move, there really is no compelling, Constitutionally legal reason to do it.

I’ve been to gun shows where suspected ATF agents were grabbed by security (off duty armed police) and escorted out of the building.
Oh that the CAP would be honest about how the .gov is struggling to do ANYTHING correctly.
Google: ghost gun
Bidness is “boom”ing (heh)
(OK sounded better than “bang”ing
Not that banging sounds bad, mind you but I digress)
For around $550 anyone with modest skills and a drill press can have her a AR-15 for personal use. With no traceable parts. No serial # unless you add one. Might want to buy several 80% receivers in case you screw the first two up. Or hang on your buddy’s Christmas tree as cool ornaments.

Liberals simply cannot wrap their minds around the Second Amendment.
Maxine Waters said that Barack Obama was building the Democrats a comprehensive database on citizens/voters.
She wasn’t joking.
WATERS: Well, you know, I don’t know, and I think some people are missing something here. The president has put in place an organization that contains the kind of database that no one has ever seen before in life. That’s going to be very, very powerful. That database will have information about everything, on every individual, in ways that it’s never been done before.
