Do as We Say, Not as We Do

Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) personnel are processing thousands of firearms and more than a million rounds of ammunition following Thursday's arrest of two Southern California men on charges of selling firearms illegally from a Compton gun dealer, Los Angeles ATF Special Agent in Charge John A. announced today.

John A. What? Does the guy have a last name, or did someone just negligently fill out the paperwork for the press release and then not check it before filing?

What would you BATFUers do to a gun dealer who neglected to fill in a last name?

Uh-huh. I thought so.

Ya gotta wonder why the agency feels the need to issue press releases. As I recall, glory hounding is what got them in the Waco mindset.

The BATFE[CES] needs a reminder that they are NOTHING but SERVANTS of We The People. The whole federal government. As well as many local and state ones, need that same reminder as well. Nothing will change for the better. Until that reminder is slammed home - hard....

You know, I honestly don't care if there were a couple of guys making sales to "unfavorable characters".

The cure is worse than the disease: Having a Gov't agency, with Gestapo characteristics, going around to make sure guns don't fall into the "wrong hands". We all know the historical agenda of power is not is disarm the real bad-guys, but to disarm the people that are a threat to that power.

If we treated books, blogs, newspapers, magazines, and any other influential medium like we did guns, that would be viewed as oppression. Should be the same with guns.

In order to have liberty, both good-guy & bad-guy, and "good-guy" & "bad guy" must have access to weapons. Because who's to say you won't be tomorrow's "felon", "gang-banger", "non-person", or other "bad-guy" in the eye's of the state.

Weapon access in America should not even be an issue.
