JBT Cage Match

FBI vs. BATFU [More]

My children get along better.

If there's any way I can pour gas on this fire, be sure and let me know...

Which reminds me: Y'all have sent your email to the Oversight Committee, right?

Part of me says that we should push to have the FBI take over atf's job. My thinking being there would be less focus on harassing guns and gun owners. Probably naive but hey, just a thought.

Not so sure about that. It was the FBI who took over from the BATFEces at Waco and presided over the deaths of 80+ people who committed no crime.

This would almost be funny, but since there's an apparent shortage of crimes to 'investigate' I'd expect CONgress will soon give each of these swaggering outfits more to do by creating a larger pool of crime and criminals via USC...

You're right crotalus, i wish we could get rid of both agencies.

Are there actually people on Planet DC losing sleep over this? This is so simple that it takes all of five seconds to propose a rock solid solution:

1. Both agencies immediately halt all activities which are in violation of the Constitution. (Big money saver here.)

2. The ATF is a tax agency, therefore it concentrates solely on collecting excise taxes on firearms, ammunition and explosives. Oh, and try and make an attempt to collect the tax before throwing people in federal prison for non-payment.

3. The FBI goes back to investigating federal crimes, committed against our federal government, on our own soil, by foreigners; or committed by federal government employees.
