We're the Only Ones Automatically Secret Enough

The Albany Police Officers Union wants to keep secret the names of any officers who illicitly purchased machine guns through the department years ago.

Naturally. And we'd expect them to fight just as hard for the principle that non-"Only Ones" deserve the same privacy considerations when they intentionally violate gun edicts, right?

Seriously, how come these elites aren't being prosecuted?

The U.S. attorney's office declined to take action on the Albany gun purchases. Federal prosecutors in Albany were briefed about the matter four years ago by the ATF, sources in the investigation said.


Right. That's the same BATFU that's throwing all the king's horses and all the king's men at destroying Red's Trading Post, and the same "Department of Justice" that made sure everybody knew Wayne Fincher's name as they destroyed his life and locked him away. And let's not even start on how eager they were to "enforce existing gun laws" at Waco and Ruby Ridge.

Ain't it grand, living in a Republic where we're guaranteed equal treatment under law?

That's outrageous.

And we're also not much of a republic anymore. In 1970 there were 17 Federal crimes on the books and the 10th ammendment aimed to keep all non-Federally-relevant crimes (treason, counterfeiting, etc) under the states. We now have 4000 Federal crimes, most of which overlap state crimes (especially gun law enforcement thanks to the 10th Amendment-evicerating 'Project Safe Neighborhoods').

Typo: 1790, not 1970.

If we could get the ATF and Judge Jimm Larry Hendren to be consistent, they would be all over this in Federal Court and these blue clad criminals would be sharing an exercise yard with Wayne Fincher.

Since they are not sharing such yard and their identities are still being guarded I think we can assume that these assholes (all ATF and Judge Jimm Larry Hendren) and all like them, are traitors to their the nation, the law, and their oaths.

What a fucking surprise! NOT.

I think the tree is rapidly coming upon a much needed watering.

This is more proof that they do not believe what they do and have done to others is appropriate. It is proof that they hold us in contempt and that they view us as livestock to be used however they so desire for the benefit of the herdmaster, which they believe themselves to be.

I am old, I am slow, I am also still dangerous enough to hang a horn in a sonofabitch that thinks he can herd me. I just wish I wasn't alone.
