Who is Andrew Traver? The Lairds of Fairfax denounce him, but will they use all their power to demand oversight hearings in the next Congress?


Good question.

Also:

"The National Rifle Association Strongly Opposes the Nomination of Andrew Traver to Head BATFE, Calls on President Obama to withdraw the nomination."

So the Lairds of Fairfax denounce him, but will they use all their power to demand oversight hearings in the next Congress?

Forget the guy at the top. Don't hold your breath.

They are so funny. Oppose abolition of the BATFU, then complain when a serious BATFUer gets nominated to run it as it has the potential to be run. Having the Death Star orbiting the planet is OK, but putting Darth Vader in command, hey, hold on there!
The NRA chin music will subside shortly. Obey existing gun laws, and existing gun law enforcers, and keep sending money to Waples Mill Palace. And upChuck the Vote in 2012! That'll fix it!

If the NRA were worth a damn they would be arguing for the end of the ATF....but they prefer to "work with them" to find common ground.

Sounds like the Republican Party...."find middle ground", "avoid gridlock"...blah, blah, blah.

Geez, who the heck cares who runs BATFU? It will never be anyone good. We are just about in the middle of a revolution, and the economic train has left the rails. What matters is not what freedom-hating thug runs this agency, but what gun owners intend to do when the shit hits the fan, as will happen shortly.
