But not Obama or Holder who gave the orders to ATF.
What was their biggest reason for killing all of those innocent poor Brown Mexican people..?
Yes sounds like a plan!!!!
I want to see several dozen of them jailed for F&F .... and then go after the militarization of money... forcing banks to restrict lawful businesses access to banking because they’re in the gun business.
Come on man, put all those ATF folks out of a job?
Most couldn’t work the fry line at mickey D’s.
What they gonna do without gub mint dole?
Yes! And do the same to DHS... which is another redundant federal money-sucking federal department. Fire them all and give the FBI something to do.
Totally
I of course would argue that Fast and Furious worked exactly as designed - to have legal semi-auto modern sporting rifles turn up at drug related crime scenes, giving the Obama Administration “evidence” that a new “assault weapon” ban needed to be enacted.
This used to be the case in Missourri. Not even that long ago. Maybe 30 years ago you could buy fireworks, ammo, guns, and booze at one counter. Frickin’ awesome.
Just sayin'..
The FBI that let the Boston bombers kill? The Islamist airport gunman? Who thinks its hacking to release the emails of the dnc? Of course I doubt the atf is any better. The IRS is much better at perusing what they perceive to be criminal activity. Ok, maybe they are ignoring the govt and businesses skip paying employer taxes be hiring non-citizens.
“Some college kid walked by the restaurant on his way to a costume party, wearing a ninja outfit. The agents ran out of the restaurant, weapons drawn, and tackled the kid. I never followed up on the story, but I hope there was a successful lawsuit.”
That is ridiculous! Ninja’s don’t use Alcohol, Tabaco, or firearms. Maybe they thought he had smoke bombs.
They created the ATF in 1972. At the time I thought it was a stupid idea whose only purpose was to grow the government.
Maybe when they’re finished killing off the ATF they go after the EPA (created in 1970).
We never needed either of these agencies before and we don’t need them now.
Good riddance to government waste.
If it were up to me, the only department / agency that should exist is the Department of War and Justice.
I remember reading in my NRA magazines in the late 80’s that the ATF would issue notices (scams) that some semi-auto firearms could have the potential to fire more than 1 one round per trigger pull, particularly Browning shotguns. They asked that if you had one to take it to them and they would test it for you. They trapped a couple of folks with this scam and charged them with illegal possession of an automatic weapon. They would load them up with rounds with special primers that would guarantee a double shot.
I had a Baretta A606 semi that would on occasion shoot a double but I kept that to my self.
Pointless in the form presented. The problem isn’t the ATF per se, but what the ATF does. If their “responsibilities” are simply given to another agency, what’s the point?
“and would transfer the ATF’s current responsibilities to the [FBI]”
Weren’t the ATF’s responsibilities part of the treasury department before 1972?
HOOORAY....
One down, 378 redundunt alphabet agencies to go.
