WTF?

Why the hell is what someone does in the privacy of their bedroom worthy of an ATF Observance?

Why don't they have an ATF Blow Job Observance in honor of hetorosexuals that enjoy oral sex? How about an ATF Observance for heterosexuals who enjoy bondage or other kinky sex? Why just an observance for deviant sex?
Heck, I'm not asking that they hold an observance in my honor or anything, I'm just askin' ...

But WTF does any of this have to do with alcohol, tobacco, firearms and explosives? Are they trying to tell me if fudgepackers drink too much alcohol and smoke too much tobacco, they might be inclined to shove something else up their ass like a stick of dynamite or a rifle?
ARGH! (That's heterosexual pirate talk for ARGH!)

Now I see it. Melson is/was "Their Boy". A going away party ???

For Linda:
Heterosexuals are NOT a Preferred Species. You obviously fail to understand how FedGov operates.

Nice that SSI seems to think that anti-gay flame-baiting is such a good idea right now.

You'll be glad when CSGV uses this as evidence that the posters & commenters are anti-gay, and therefor nothing they say should be listened to at all, including facts about the Gunwalker conspiracy.

As for Linda, I'm glad that you think so much about sexual acts to the point that you talk about such things as "oral", "bondage", "kinks", and "deviancy". I'm glad to know you think about the things us gays do, because we certainly don't think about things like male to female oral. Just saying...

You're absolutely right. It should be a TSA observance!

Why don't they have an ATF Observance for heterosexuals who enjoy bondage

But isn't that what ATF does on the other 364 days?
