ATF director steps down after bullet ban controversy

Obama just threw another off the sled. Wolves will be fat before his reign is finished.

 

There is really no justification for the ATF (actually BATFE these days, in spite of the fact that they constantly seek the "3 letter status" coveted by agency heads) to exist at all. Every bit of their charter exceeds federal constitutional authority.

That said, expect anyone named to replace him to be strongly against the idea of guns outside government hands.

 

Look for B. Todd Jones to become a CEO at Troy Industries or Dicks.

 

The nice thing about this is the comments that were sent caused the ban to be scrapped

Of course the dems will be pushing for more bans but with the make up in congress it will be more bs hot air.

NRA-ILA | M855 Plot Thickens: Congressman Proposes Center-Fire Ammo Ban

You didn’t need a crystal ball to see this one coming. On Monday, a week after the BATFE withdrew its plan to ban M855 as “armor-piercing ammunition,” U.S. Rep. Steve Israel (D-N.Y.) announced that he intends to introduce legislation to “extend the definition of armor-piercing ammunition to include all bullets that can pierce body armor and be used in handguns.”

The reason you didn’t need a crystal ball is that gun control supporters have been pushing this idea for years. In the 1980s, after NBC-TV did an attack piece on bullets invented for law enforcement officers to shoot through walls and doors, disingenuously calling them “Cop Killer Bullets,” gun control supporters seized upon the term and proposed legislation to ban any bullet that could penetrate a soft protective vest.

 

Then there was the time (Think way back machine!) when any rounds you purchased that would fit in a pistol required you to sign a "BOOK". That lasted a couple of years and was also yet another BATF move to control 2nd Amendment rights.

They will never give up so we must do the same, Never Give Up.

Then again the above move was when I got serious and started casting and loading my own.

Origami(sp-pun) and company plus BATF, are the real salesmen for the Gun Industry.

 

One thing about Democrats, They are committed to creating political sucuide for there party.

I like that!

 

Indeed and a time only FFL's could purchase ammo via mail order.

 

Right Gator but not nearly fast enough to suit me

 

Must have had the deal in hand.
I have full confidence he can screw up the NFL more than it is.
.................
Roger Goodell has informed NFL owners that Todd Jones, the former director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, will soon join the league as special counsel for conduct, a league source confirmed to ESPN.

Jones is a former U.S. Attorney for Minnesota and was a Marine infantry officer.

Lisa Friel, a former New York District Attorney's office sex crimes prosecutor, was also named NFL special counsel for investigations.

According to a source, Goodell decided to split the role for the NFL's conduct czar. Jones will apply and administer the personal conduct policy that applies to all NFL employees, while Friel will professionalize the investigations process.

Jones' pending appointment by the NFL was reported earlier Monday by the New York Post.

Just shows how the Gov and the Sports groups are tied into the Media circle/Circus.

 

@HK_User is right, Provide the "entertainment" to the mass's so they won't notice the barbarians storming the gates..

 

I doubt most are aware that the NFL is a TAX EXEMPT group.

Kill the NFL and all the other Government Supported Circus Groups and you might see an awakening.

Get them off their asses and on their feet.

 

Oh crap now they will surely and completely ruin football. I used to love watching football.
