Our Tax Dollars at work with the ATF.

The ATF seems to be willing to violate any standard to promote their existence.  This article will make you proud... 

A few of the better points from the article:

 

 

* ATF agents befriended mentally disabled people to drum up business and later arrested them in at least four cities in addition to Milwaukee.

*Agents in several cities opened undercover gun- and drug-buying operations in safe zones near churches and schools, allowed juveniles to come in and play video games and teens to smoke marijuana, and provided alcohol to underage youths.

*As they did in Milwaukee, agents in other cities offered sky-high prices for guns, leading suspects to buy firearms at stores and turn around and sell them to undercover agents for a quick profit.

*Agents damaged buildings they rented for their operations, tearing out walls and rewiring electricity — then stuck landlords with the repair bills.

 

 

With a government like this, who needs enemies?

Does anyone actually get surprised at anything this administration does these days. After the Fast and Furious Scandal that no one ever got charged or convicted in even when American agents were killed with FNF sold guns should make every know that anything the FBI or ATFE wants to do is allowed and should not be a surprise. Holder and Obama have them totally protected and they can do just about anything they can think up to do..........jmho

That's the problem. People get numbed the more we hear about things like this. Forget Ruby Ridge, Waco, the Border guard dying due to

Fast ans Furious. Now, it's weak people being used as pawns, and then later arrested for what they were told to do. I can think of a bunch

of feds who should be put in a federal SuperMax, including a wing for communists and RINOs.

The ATF is aggregating. I hate the bastards and would like to see the organization burn to the ground, BUT, there are a LOT of really good men that work there. They have families and love guns too, and just wanna do their job. It's a shame some of the azz clowns that work there give all of them a bad name. Everyone at the ATF ain't out to get you. It's just a few who need to take a long walk off a short pier.

Those good men you mention should either get rid of the bad or leave. The overall ATF is a problem, not just a few. We

have our own evidence right in Nashville. The one who retired here who had something to do with RR and Waco. He left

a Hell of a legacy. for the department.
