In a major victory for those of us arguing that the National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record (NFRTR) is insufficient for criminal proceedings, Dr. Fritz Scheuren, “the” statistician in the United States (possibly the world), today informed the 10th District Court that the NFRTR is insufficient for criminal proceedings. [More]Here's a letter from Dr. Scheuren to the House Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice, Science,and Related Agencies Committee on Appropriations about "inaccuracies in the National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record (NFRTR) data system maintained by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF)."
This is an interesting speculation, complete with a workaround:
If the US loses this case, there is some speculation on whether the BATFE will seek to appeal the decision because an appellate ruling that the NFRTR is insufficient would have disastrous consequences for the BATFE and the NFRTR. It is this author’s opinion that the BATFE would likely not appeal so to protect the integrity of the NFRTR in other court proceedings. Nevertheless, in any future cases, a competent attorney will be adding Dr. Scheuren as an expert to invalidate the NFRTR.And here's more, on how NFRTR violates due process.
BATFU is out there destroying people's livelihoods and lives over arbitrary and mutable applications of "standards" while their own performance--up to and including controlling their assigned weapons--is nothing short of criminally negligent, if you apply their own "willful violation" standard to them--and why wouldn't you, seeing as how they relish using it as a club against others?

Evil people, and the evil agencies they work for, will continue to operate in evil ways. BATFE is King of the Evil Agencies. To expect honor or honesty from these pinheads is pitiful.
ReplyDeleteAnyone who would seek employment at the BATFE, by definition, is an enemy of the Constitution. The agency's whole existence is based on infringment.
