Well, I did manage to muster up this one email.

Subject: Just a personal note to all my ATF friends.

Everybody needs to take a day off once in a while for rest and reflection and today is one of mine. Collecting my thoughts about what the last year of shadow boxing has brought us, I was struck by the following truths:

1. The fly always experiences a momentary sense of triumph when he has just conquered the flypaper.

2. Whatever has happened, is happening now and will happen between now and January will be the subject of oversight hearings by the reinvigorated GOP-owned House and (probably) Senate shortly afterward. Your strategic air cover will be a bit uncovered without Chucky Schumer and the Citizen Disarmament Caucus in absolute power in those vital committee chairmanships to protect you. You might want to compare notes now with James "Waco Jim" Cavanaugh. Now THERE was a guy who could perjure himself and get away with it.

Have a nice day.

PS: Waldo and R.A. Bear both say "Hi!"

I assume you mean the politics and infighting within the bureau.

Anything else we should know about?; September 3, 2010 at 11:09 AM

MBV: Not yet.

"I assume you mean the politics and infighting within the bureau."

MBV: That, and much more. They know what I'm talking about. That will have to be enough for now. I will say that there is nothing more predictable than a rogue bureaucracy.

"Anything else we should know about?"

Yes, but as I said, all in the fullness of time. We here at the Sipsey Street Market serve no scandal before its time. These turkeys put themselves in the oven. We're just waiting for the timer to go off and the little red button to pop out before the public carving knife and the regulatory serving fork.

Anonymous said...: This story should get you fired up again. If it's true it will be the biggest gun rights story to come along in a long time.

Texas man convicted of selling to a man with a valid Texas. Driver's license. ATF prosecilutes the seller because the man was an illegal. Gov says he should have reasonably known the man was an illegal. To be honest I can not wrap my head around this one. There has to be more to it. The hypocrisy is off the charts and amounts to a major ATF f$$k up.

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
