BATFU's First Blush

"There is nothing in terms of first blush to say it will significantly change our business," Michael Sullivan, acting director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, said of the high court's decision.
Huh. I haven't seen BATFU blush since I posted some pictures.

But he's right--it was a narrow ruling. It didn't address stomping cats, racist picnics, lying under oath...

Yeah, I'd have to agree. It'll probably be business as usual.

Congress won't change their business. The President won't, and now the Supreme Court has shown IT won't. That about covers it. Legislative, executive, judicial.
In Wisconsin, a man living on paid-for property in the woods was assaulted by LOCAL authorities in armored vehicles. He hadn't paid his TAXES, in exchange for which he probably uses NO government services.
They burned his house down.
Saw an infomercial today about buying TAX-foreclosed houses at auction. The MORTGAGES were kept up, but the owners couldn't pay the real estate taxes (some of which rise 40-50% year to year), so the government seized their homes and sold them to get "their" money.
No wonder they want our guns.
