Anti gun Czar

It was not a good sign that Barack Obama kept his nominee to head the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives a secret until after the midterm election –- and then quickly announced that anti-gun zealot Andrew F. Traver would be named to fill the slot.

After being blasted before November 2′s election by the liberal New York Times for failing to beef up the ATF by appointing a director –- for fear of the wrath of the “gun lobby” -– Obama gets right past the election and, presto chango, a nominee appears. How ’bout that?

And not just any nominee.

ATF, a federal agency on a quest for a purpose.

Scary organization. Armatures, small, trying to expand their scope and treading on other toes.............

The BATF is nothing but a bunch of thugs IMHO. They need to be broken up, and some of them need to be in jail!

The ATF was created by the RATS, it was originally a part of the IRS. Its envisioned mission was gun confiscation once the time was right.

It’s really easy to pick who Obama will appoint to various agencies.

All you have to do is get a list of names that could possibly be appointed,

Find the name of the most incompetent, person who will do the most damage to America, and you have his appointment.

And Yes: my friend it is deliberate.

I highly recommend John Ross’ “Unintended Consequences”.

It’s a very real end-game novel about where this came from and where it might well end up.

Could you elaborate on that? Or provide a reference?

I wonder what ever happened to the ATF guy who made the "glory hole" in his hotel room door and put an ad on Craigslist for folks to stop by?

The BATF and E has to be the most hated government agency. Especially among gun owners. Please take a minute and look at this:
