ATF rolls on with a nearly $1.2 billion budget
A reader sends: "This is from the Omnibus Appropriations Bill that was just passed by the House and Senate. You can bet Obama will sign it, and that ATF will spend every last cent doing what it does."

Yet another appropriations bill where the Shumer amendment remains intact, 925 (c) of Title 18. No funds are to be made available for investigation or relief from the Federal Firearms Act. The Republicans could have easily killed this. It's not like they haven't been told what a thorn it is in the side of the pro-gun community. Screw 'em! I withdraw all consent to be governed by unconstitutional swine. Oh, but wait, I already did that.
Gosh, SWIFT... works for me. That way, when the BATFEces is totally disbanded and discredited, none of their "functions" can be transfered to other goon squads. But then, of course, there probably wouldn't be any other goon squads left anyway. :) They all need to be eliminated.
AS the picture with this article shows...A true 'domestic terrorist'....imho
