"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. |

| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
