ATF Still Doesn't Get It

ATF knew risks in border operation
Instructed Arizona gun dealer to engage in ‘suspicious sales’ despite concerns

Sen. Chuck Grassley, investigating whether an undercover federal operation contributed to the slaying of a U.S. Border Patrol agent, said Thursday the ATF instructed an Arizona gun dealer to engage in “suspicious sales” despite the dealer’s concerns that the weapons could “end up south of the border.”

In a letter this week to Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr., the Iowa senator described as “untrue” personal assurances the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives gave to the gun dealer in an email saying “safeguards were in place” to prevent further distribution of the numerous weapons sold, including AK-47 assault rifles.

With every ounce of my soul I hope and pray and dream that the ATF will be disbanded forever. They are, quite literally, the American equal of the Nazi SA.

while I like this idea, it has to go hand in hand with all of their budget being dismissed instead of handed over to the DoJ/FBI and also needs to have most, if not all, of the administrative regulations concerning firearms void. some actual laws being negated would be nice as well.

The ATF if trying very hard to make themselves look necessary. Just the other day they initiated a raid on an Indiana gun store using 70 agents and Indy state police. 70 agents, seems a bit of overkill.
