The Corrupt ATF

".........do I admire the Firearms Technology Folks who rule that a piece of string is a machine gun? Or a muzzle break that reduces muzzle blast by 1db is considered a silencer? Or who manipulate ammo so a semi-auto AR-15 will double or triple? - and then put a man in prison because he sold it?

Do I admire the ATF employees who testify that the NFRTR is 100% accurate knowing fully well that it's riddled with errors?

Do I admire the Inspectors who have a chip on their shoulder, and announce they're here to shut you down? Or allow a 'bound book' practice on one inspection, then write it as a violation on the next? Most dealers aren't criminals and don't want criminals to have guns. Hell, the criminals will use the guns to rob us, or invade our homes. Why would we want that? And, what about the Inspectors who require an ordinary gunsmith to be licensed as a manufacturer - even though he manufactures nothing?

Do I admire ATF supervisors who abuse or slight their employees? Or any of the other unfair and unjust practices explained on this forum?

Do I admire those managers who lie to the American People? That 90% of the guns seized in Mexico come from the United States? Then manipulate the data (and the investigations) to prove it? (Does Gunwalker come to mind?) The eTrace System that gives our personal data to corrupt Mexican (or Columbian or El Salvador, or U.S. for that matter) Cops? No matter how innocent we are? Or the de facto registration system that ATF is pushing - asking cops to trace every possible gun? Why is every traced gun (no matter how innocent) a 'crime gun'? Why is every dealer with a lot of traces, a 'criminal friendly" FFL? Even though he's the largest dealer in the state and fully cooperates with Enforcement?

Or what about the agents who pursue normally law-abiding citizens for technical violations when a kind word might solve the problem?"

Sound The Alarm! .22 bullet found in Fossgate, York!

"The only honorable response to violence is counter-violence."
-- Col. Jeff Cooper, To Ride, Shoot Straight & Speak the Truth
=================================================================

A picture of the bullet! AND Our hero!

A STARTLED man has told how he found a bullet lying in a York city-centre street.

Tim Stark said he was unloading items into the MOR Music store where he works in Fossgate yesterday morning when he spotted what he believed to be a live .22 bullet gleaming in a puddle.

He said he immediately called police, who came and took it away.

“I have no idea what it was doing there,” he said.

A North Yorkshire Police spokesman said the bullet had been put into safe storage, and CID had confirmed it was not thought to be connected with any incident currently under investigation.
Thank goodness, salvation at least.........:)

The Boiler Room Publishes LGF Banned Statistics

The Boiler Room is pleased to release a rather handy file, as engineer No. 2 had been compiling a list of blocked accounts on LGF. The spreadsheet includes sortable account statistics for “karma”, “comments”, “links”, “reg(istration) date”, “reg. year”, “reg. time”:

* blocked

3,873 confirmed blocked nics (and stats).

This also reveals an interesting statistic relating to the crawl toward 9 million comments. If you know basic excel, you can sum the columns and see that the blocked members contributed over 3.5 million of them (at least; current snapshot: 3,526,393/8,959,817 = 39.4%). Please note: we make no claim that this list is exhaustive (for example, we know that Gordon is banned, but we can’t fill in all the columns).

The Truth About Mexican Drug Cartels’ Weaponry. Again. Still.

“Most of the weapons used by criminal groups in Mexico (40 to 60%) comes from the United States. According to the Department of Homeland Security U.S. government, 40% of the weapons introduced in Mexico fall into the hands of drug traffickers.” That’s forty percent of ALL the weapons introduced into Mexico, including those sold to Mexico by our good friends at Bushmaster, Colt, etc. This also includes U.S. weapons sold to other South American governments which find their way north. Including some very heavy weapons indeed. Yes, I know the MGL grenade launcher above is made in South Africa. Read on . . .

Hypocrite Obama pushes new gun control measures "to prevent future bloodshed." Shouldn't he get a handle on the ATF first?

Heh!:)

"To reflect the true value of the U.S. Dollar, I suggest that henceforth all U.S. coinage be made of plastic or aluminum. That way, they will be conveniently recyclable when the U.S. Dollar inevitably becomes worthless via mass inflation. That might spare the government the shame of the seeing its currency and coinage littering the streets"
--James Wesley, Rawles
====================================================

"I can't believe this.

The President whose administration is apparently still in the middle of executing a conspiracy against the Second Amendment by encouraging the smuggling of firearms to cartels and bandit gangs wants us to be "reasonable" and exercise "common sense" on further restrictions of our own liberties. He doesn't talk about the data base problems where innocents get rejected because of "false positives." Or how giving the feds even more power over people will make any of the rest of us safer. And you can bet your ass that the restrictions on "mental health" will be drawn until anybody with a contrary political opinion is rejected.

No.

The lying sonofabitch says "Trust us." In the middle of the Project Gunwalker Scandal? When his subordinates are still stonewalling on the number of deaths in the United States and Mexico -- surely already in the hundreds and soon to be in the thousands -- caused by his firearm confiscationist subordinates' bright idea?!?!?

I guess it is as been rumored. This idiot really is out of touch with reality. Or he thinks we are really that stupid. Or both.
