If the Center for American Progress is for it, I am dead set against it. Sopum ain’t right...
When the conservatives have the majority we will have a chance to make a change.....
OH, wait, we have that. What will get? A very terse email.
WTF? Who do they work for the people, or the Lobbyist?
I think I know.
They would want the FBI or Homeland Security harassing gun owners.
They should be FIRED and have NOTHING to do with any aspect of enforcing US law.
Further, ALL the former responsibilities of the BATFE should simply be DISCONTINUED.
People who burn down churches full of KIDS shouldn't be in the public sector:
They should be in JAIL.

Too frigging bad. I don't care how long they have been in charge. They need to cope.

one thing is certain..this wouldnt be a cost cutting measure.....
Yup. What ain’t right is that the BATFE has abused itself into a legal corner that will cause the supreme court to strike down a significant chunk of federal gun laws. Instead, and apparently in conjunction with the NRA, a complex evasion is taking place to render the BATFE errors in judgement moot and preserve the unconstitutional gun laws.
ATF should be the name of a convenience store, not a government agency.
It sounds fine to me!
Report I would do would recommend the disbanding of the US g0vt.
One of two three government agencies that should be shuttered in seven days of a new administration.
1. Department of Education
2. EPA
3. BATFE (ATF) (BATF) whatever the - it’s called these days
There are probably four or five others.
Seven days, bye bye...
Why do we need a federal agency to do what any police department can do?
If that’s a problem, the FBI can step in.
I’m sorry folks, but I also think Homeland Security is extremely problematic.
Lop off this agency or cut it by 95%, and allow the agency to simply set up guidelines for local airports authority to operate by.
Do inspections and make sure to get compliance. Other than that, the HS could go too.
I also think that the people at the airports should have to pass a much more rigorous professional testing.
Every time I go in to an airport I swear I’ve seem some of those folks at McDonald’s or Taco Bell the week before.
Raise standards. Pay them better. Knock off the granny checks. Knock off the pat downs of people based on whether they are attractive or not.
My former wife used to get checked far more than I did. She was attractive and there was nothing else to attribute it to. And when she was pulled aside, I was forbidden to stay anywhere near her to help protect her from them. If I didn’t leave I could be arrested.
Folks, that isn’t right. At least one family member should be able to observe anything taking place. In fact you should be able to video what is taking place if you want.
These people should not be above review.
The ATF should be privatized, then turned into a chain of convenience stores - “I’ll have a pack of Luckies, a quart of Jim Beam, and a box of .22 longs. I’ll pay cash.”
Once the concept proves successful, they can fold in the DEA and sell blunts and brownies.
Just a suggestion...
You forgot the IRS...
Ah, good, an illustration of the concept!
Careful what you wish for — guaranteed whatever takes its place will be worse, and it is coming.
Ridiculous!
Alcohol, tobacco, and firearms are all legal. It is time they were all returned to being unregulated.
