This Cole guy is pretty deep into the "Gunrunner" scandal ~ doing this at this time demonstrate he has a political tin ear and no conscience.

That's almost always the kind of flaw that gets you sent to federal prison.

Cool, the NRA can use discovery to poke around Gunwalker and Fast and Furious with ATF under oath. More news available to the public.

The blackout and cover up loses ground.

The goal is to stop the illegal flow of weapons to Mexican drug cartels, said Deputy Attorney General James Cole.

Not a shred of credibility left. None.

There is absolutely nothing left to salvage, this criminal enterprise administration has got to go. At a minimum the donks have destroyed themselves for a generation. Quite possibly it is permanent.

“But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.” - DOI, 1776

Ah yes, another example of a government screw up - Gunwalker - Fast and Furious - ATF ought to be ashamed of themselves but alas, instead, they punish the citizens of this country.

I don't think it is case of a tin ear at all. These actions come from the very top and are calculated to provoke just such a suit.

Gunwalker backfired, so they'll try to show how 'extreme' the NRA is through the press in this way.

The whole objective of “GunRunner” was to set the stage for this very action. Actually, it was to get legislative action, but that has failed, so the Socialist Dictator has decided to see how far he can bend and shred the Constitution before the hammer falls.

The press is complicit in Gunrunner. The DOJ is misestimating the degree the MSM is going to go along with them on this one.

You got the folks who run the Washington Post, NYT and LATimes sweating in their boots for fear one or more of their reporters are found to have concocted some of that propaganda last year on behalf of ATF and other government agencies that were then sending guns to Mexican narcotrafficantes.

I bet the support doesn't go further than a couple of talking heads at ABC.

Oh, yeah. Say the administration loses the lawsuit. Does it then honor the court ruling, or does it do what it damn-well pleases?

Hmmmmm... let me guess...

I am a dealer..I am fed up with the ATF and suggest someone provide the fore-mat, for anyone to sue the ATF, just by filling in the blanks. No pun intended, possibly copy one which has been written.

So the NRA sues the government...Big whoop...

In the meantime the policy gets legs and is enforced by an emboldened government agency...If you want to know what Fast and Furious is, this will be the outcome...

What they need to do is file an injunction (stay) in court and stop the implementation of this policy before it gets anywhere...

Then the lawsuit should proceed, if need be...Lawsuits cost money that we don’t need to spend on such an obvious government infringement on our right to keep and bear arms...

Not that the Odumbo Administration is the least bit interested in following the law, but on what basis can they require such reporting requirements only in 4 border states and not elsewhere? For that matter, what authority does ATF have to collect that data from anywhere (even assuming that one concedes that ATF has authority over guns to begin with, which I don’t)?

The new reporting requirement applies to semi-automatic rifles with detachable magazines and calibers greater than .22. Such weapons, Cole said, "are highly sought after by dangerous drug trafficiking organizations and frequently recovered at violent crime scenes near the Southwest Border."

He should know, considering how the ATF has been hawking said weapons to Mexican drug armies in violation of every law on the books.
