RE: Freedom of Information Act Request

To whom this may concern:

Pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. § 552), the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco Firearms and Explosives is requested to the following within twenty (20) business days. I represent Len Savage in this request. It is unknown to this Requester where electronic mail, correspondence, and other documents and/or petitions requested are stored.
Please provide the following information:

1)Please provide any and all documents, emails, correspondence, petitions for rulemaking and communications from and/or to the National Firearms Act Trade & Collectors Association (“NFATCA”) from 2000 to present;

2)Please provide any and all documents, emails, correspondence, petitions for rulemaking and communications from and/or to John Brown, President of NFATCA, from 2000 to present;

The Category of Requester is “All Other Requesters” and because this is a matter of great public interest; I request that the fee is waived. If the fee is not waived, my client will pay up to $100 for this request. Should the fee for this request exceed $100, please let me know in advance. I look forward to receiving the requested documents and a full fee waiver within twenty business days.
Warm regards,

Can you please explain how a voting pole tax is unconstitutional but an NFA tax on an inalienable right is? What other rights get a direct tax and require pre-approved permission to exercise, Oh, try and exercise that right with out that permission slip and your Rights earn you a felony... For exercising your rights.

You have no freedom, you are free to do as you are told or pay the price. ALL your rights that have REAL power to resist tyranny are actually limited.


I defy you to take what little I still have, enough already.

Stephen has courage and moral character. Challenging the "machine gun cartel" is not undertaken lightly, not planned without resources.

I wish him well and hope he prevails for his client. Their victory will be personal. The greater victory will be ours to share and enjoy as long as it lasts.

Donald Trump: ‘Hillary Clinton Wants to Take Your Guns’

During a May 7 speech in Lynden, Washington, presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump looked at the audience and said, “Hillary Clinton wants to take your guns.”

Trump stressed that Clinton’s plan is not simply to pass more gun control but to “abolish the Second Amendment” altogether.

He said Clinton’s anti-gun positions are so extreme that she will even seek new controls on purchasing ammunition.

I especially liked the "Warm regards" part at the end.

In answer, there have been a number of rumors that the NFACTA has been acting as an instrument of ATF by filing, as "industry suggestions", ruling change requests that ATF writes. There has also been testimony in court by ATF that John Brown, when he was the president of the NFACTA was a confidential informant. See US vs Clark, ATF revealed that in the proceedings against Hal Goldstein.
