This article examines the weird suggestion to significantly cut the ATF Budget at a time when many people think they're bneginning to do a good job along the Mexican border. It makes you wonder what's really going on.
Some agency officials held out hope that President Obama, whose campaign promised tougher gun laws, would support their mission and budget, and strengthen their legal tools.What's your opinion? Where do you think this initiative comes from? Will Obama save the day as far as the ATF goes?

ReplyDeleteDo you really think "walking" 700 "assault weapons" across the border into Mexican cartel hands is "beginning to do a good job"? Or perhaps the real evidence of the ATF's value in preventing gun violence was when one of those guns was used to kill a Border Patrol agent?
"It makes you wonder what's really going on."
I agree with that.
ATF budget cuts? Oh noes! That means ATF agents will have to sleep at the Econo-Loadge instead of the Marriot. The horror!
ReplyDeleteThe ATF is no different than any other government agency. You guys just hate it because it threatens your misguided idea of "freedom."
