All of it. The bureau wasn't warped in 1968, it was expanded.<br /><br />Are you claiming that the original job of the BATFE was to make sure moonshine in commerce doesn't contain lead, firearm barrels meet pressure design standards, and explosives are packed safely when they are transported on roads -- but as long as the regulated objects are manufactured as advertised they could care less who has them? That claim doesn't match the historical record of any government's efforts at gun control, including America's. The first use of gun control in America was to disarm blacks after the civil war, so they would remain partially enslaved.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-44001000765219285942011-02-01T17:23:02.327-06:002011-02-01T17:23:02.327-06:00Mike,

And please pass on my thanks to the brave agents at BATF who - no matter their motivation, personal, to clean up ATF, or because it is the right thing to do - are risking so much to come forward.<br /><br />We are all proud of you, Mike. Let us pray that there is major cleaning and reconstruction at BATF, and that there will be some long-overdue reparations for David Olofson, Len Savage, and so many others whose lives were damaged or destroyed by scum like Jody Keeku and the tyrants in the CCO.<br /><br />Being interested in the history of government excess and abuse of its own citizens, someday I would love to see a photo rogue's gallery of some of these monsters, like Jody Keeku, Judge Charles Clevert, Jr, et al. I'm sure some of us would enjoy seeing one hundred of them, but even just a few would be nice.Reg Tnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-76073446197451015302011-01-31T22:19:37.740-06:002011-01-31T22:19:37.740-06:00So, if this is the straw that breaks BATFE's b...So, if this is the straw that breaks BATFE's back...

My own feeble effort to get the gunwalker story picked up is all the lesson I need in how difficult it is to get corruption investigated by any members or sycophants of a corrupt government.<br /><br />I welcome the hearings, and am delighted they'll happen just as the Obamamachine revs up on gun control. The cynic in me worries that the hearings will end up being conservative candy.
