The ATF is making law again!

They have ALLOWED the import of "parts kits" (all parts for a gun / rifle with the receiver tourch cut in three pieces) to be imported. Now they have decided they these are non-sporting...

I alway thought anything the could put a hole in a target of kill a critter was a sporting firearm, but then common sence insn't common...

Someone in the Democratic party, probably someone with a name that rhymes with fine swine, must be twisting the screws.

I wonder if AG "AWB" Gonzalez had anything to do with this.

You know, the top ranking USSCJ nominee.

BATFE is part of the administrative branch.

Thanks, Dubya.

wonderful...Who elected them?

Waiting for the 'see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil' crowd to tell us we should be happy we don't have president kerry in charge...otherwise, well, he'd have the ATF outlaw things at random!

They are proposing changing defintion of "pistol".

link to BATFE proposed change

Quote ---"SUMMARY: The Department of Justice is proposing to amend the regulations relating to machine guns, destructive devices, and certain other firearms regulated under the National Firearms Act (NFA) for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) to clarify the definition of the term ‘‘pistol’’ and to define more clearly exceptions to the ‘‘pistol’’ definition. The added language is necessary to clarify that certain weapons, including any weapon disguised to look like an item other than a firearm or any gun that fires more than one shot without manual reloading by a single function of the trigger, are not pistols and are classified as ‘‘any other weapon’’ under the NFA. DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before May 9, 2005."

We need to work on repealing the 1968 GCA and 1934 NFA, and take the F out of ATF.

Folks, the answer is so simple and we see it every day

All we have to do is require each person crossing the border from Mexico bring at least one of these gun parts with them.

The result will be positive any way you look at it.

1. The supply of gun parts will increase, or ...

2. The BATF will stop the flow of persons illegally INVADING our country.
