"That the allegations and the fear of reprisals turned out to be justified is a matter of record. I bring this up because, working with the insiders proved us right then, and lends credence to our concerns now. In spite of all the stupidity, corruption and outright evil, disbanding ATF is not in the interest of gun owners." |

Gun owners and manufacturers might be far better served if Congress - with or without WH co-operation - sought out a real "straight-shooter" and gave them carte blanche to remake BATFE. Yes, the concept is rife for abuse;which means such a selection must be above reproach and "untouchable", too !
But the "upside" is if this white knight were to appear they - with the help of a "flying squad' of aides dedicated to preservation of our gun rights - might just restore public confidence in BATFE, and by extension, some other government agencies/bureaus as well. |

Everything I've witness in govt demostrates higher and higher levels of incompetence. BATFE has no more chance of a 'White Knight' than the Republicans did of electing a speaker of the house that would honor his oath of office. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
