U.S. Attorney Michael Sullivan fielded some tough questions about gun laws while winning praise Wednesday at a Senate confirmation hearing to become director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
Sullivan, a former Republican state legislator and district attorney in Massachusetts, was nominated by President Bush for the job in March.
And just look at who is heaping praise: Ted Kennedy and John Kerry. With Chuck Schumer providing the theatrical cues needed to prompt the requisite responses and give the illusion of a "grilling."
And Sullivan promises to work around those pesky restrictions on providing municipalities with ammo to sue gun manufacturers... I mean, gun trace data sharing. Because we all know Congress said cities couldn't do that. Just ask Judge Weinstein.
Is it just me, or does it seem the "Vote Freedom First" president goes out of his way to alienate ("betray" is such an ugly word) the base?

Bush's support of a tyrannical man to lead the tyrannical ATF doesn't surprise me. He say's "Freedom" and "Jesus" often enough to distract most of the population (hell, I fell for it too), but he's unmistakably a tyrant.
Stock up on guns, magazines, and ammo now. It's gonna get a lot worse before it gets better. The next president will be an anti-gun authoritarian, unless I or Ron Paul win.
I need someone to explain to me why we fight for our 2A rights. It is a done deal as per our founding fathers. There is no real argument. It is documented. Thomas Jefferson said " When governments fear the people there is liberty.When the people fear the government there is tyranny. The strongest reason for the people toretain the right to keep and bear arms is as a last resort, to protect themselves against tryanny in government." Why can't we hold them accountable for this:
trea·son (trē'zən) Pronunciation Key
n.
Violation of allegiance toward one's country or sovereign, especially the betrayal of one's country by waging war against it or by consciously and purposely acting to aid its enemies.
A betrayal of trust or confidence.
Are they not guilty of this?
"I need someone to explain to me why we fight for our 2A rights. It is a done deal as per our founding fathers. There is no real argument. It is documented."
Agreed. I think it is that doing more than arguing/lobbying might be too ugly at this point. Problem is, when do admit failure? Could be awhile.
