....whereas any old brutal cop with his own jack-boots can get into the ATF.

Thirty years ago you'd expect that opinion to come from the fringes of left or right. Your profile is that of a solid citizen. Sad state we're in.

Thirty years ago when you saw a picture of someone wearing a ski mask and carying a machine gun you'd think it was a picture of a big time criminal. Now you just sort of assume it's a law enforcment agent of some kind.

Thirty years ago, you'd have been right. Back then cops were ALL ex-military and none were victims of the liberal infestation currently seen in the public school systems; along with their agenda of voluntary unilateral personal disarmament within US borders. I know several current ATF agents and they are almost bred for their anti-freedom views. I'm an expert on the public schools having been a teacher for the last fifteen years in perhaps one of the most liberal school districts in the nation.
