The good news is, the ATF's Electronic Tracing System (eTrace) appears to have been effective. The bad news is, the guns got all the way to a Mexican drug training camp before they were recovered.
I'm glad they qualified that pat on the back by mentioning the "bad news." I have a solution.
What's your opinion? Please leave a comment.
Your "solution" is redundant.
ReplyDeleteThis straw purchaser is now a felon and will not pass a background check.
Not only is it redundant, but also illegial under federal law.
Explosives and munitions? Perhaps the gun stores keep those tucked behind the Nazi paraphanalia.
Ooh--maybe a dramatized version of this could be one episode of the show celebrating our heroic BATFE agents.
ReplyDeleteThat would probably make better TV than the kitten-stomping, the terrorizing of women and children, or any of the other myriad acts of thuggery done by our brave BATFE agents, to keep us safe.
It's important to remember that NRA hero, Timmy McVeigh, served as a straw purchaser at many gun shows.
ReplyDeleteI'm growing weary of Jade's bullshit so I'm going to play too.
ReplyDeleteIt is well known that every anti-gun loon is a NAMBLA member and likes under age boys. Their hero is Michael Jackson. No proof is necessary, it is well known fact.
Zorro, You know what I just noticed about your continual attacks of the ATF? You're doing the same thing you disallow from others. You're taking examples of the worst behaviour and judging the entire organization by those examples.
ReplyDeleteHow about this? I'll allow you to slam the entire ATF using those examples if you agree to take partial responsibility when one of the gun-owning public loses it and shoots up the joint. Fair enough?

One major difference is that gun owners aren't an "organization," unified under the leadership of the "Director (or even Acting Director) of Gun Owners." We are, as I point out--probably to the point of tedium--individuals, with no real power to influence each other's behavior, and thus no responsibility for that behavior.
I'll allow you to slam the entire ATF using those examples . . .
Actually, I think I'd prefer for you to satisfy my intense curiosity about how you intend to disallow me that "slam[ming]." I sure as hell won't exchange my utter freedom from responsibility for the actions of others, for that "allowance."
