Ammo Ban Bull$hit

LIke I said earlier - if they were really worried about protecting police, they'd invest in body armor upgrades, invest in new body armor technology, etc.  They'd introduce Federal Funding for local/city/county.state LEO armor that somehow wouldn't cost the Common American a single penny.

 

They're not interested in protecting police, not one single bit.  They only want to destroy the 2nd Amendment.

As an LEO too, my personal belief, along with most the guys here in Texas, is the only gun control measure that should exist is no felons or the mentally ill ( I mean seriously mental illness, not insomnia if yall read about that)  allowed to own guns.  I am not a fan of open carry, only because I know most people do not train weapon retention. I would like to see universal conceal carry (no permit).

It gets better, the replacement Director is none other than Thomas E Brandon, Appointed Deputy Director in Oct 2011 

Prior to that he was Special Agent in Charge of the Phoenix Field Division - I seem to remember some shenanigans 

that they were up to a few years back! More things that make you go Hmmmm!

I'd bet they hide out for a while, then come back with some other scheme.  Then there's the issue of 80%, 90% whatever% lowers, SBR's, etc. etc.

Somehow I just have this mental picture of a bunch of turds hanging around the water cooler dreaming up more of those shenanigans.  I'm not feelin' 

the love for us gun nuts from BATFE.  Stay alert!

Thought I'd grab these screenshots before they disappear.  It's ironic that they still list B. Todd as the "Acting Director."

 

In the meantime, here's stuff on Brandon:

http://www.ticklethewire.com/tag/thomas-brandon/

 

PDF was available, titled "Feb 27, 2014 - Statement of Thomas E. Brandon, Deputy Director. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. U.S. Department of Justice."   Click the link, wait for awhile, and you get "SIte Under Maintenance" - how convenient.

Bloomberg doesn't list his specific assignments, prior to October 2011.  Just "various."  Of course.

http://www.bloomberg.com/profiles/people/17459254-thomas-e-brandon

 

Here's a statement from ATF, on him.  Link to it is here:

https://www.atf.gov/content/atf-announces-b-todd-jones-depart

 

Says he wasn't in Phoenix until March 2011...

 

Brandon has more than 26 years of experience with ATF. Prior to his appointment as Deputy Director, Brandon served as the special agent in charge of the Phoenix field division beginning in March 2011, and special agent in charge of the Detroit field division from January 2008 until his assignment to Phoenix.

 

...so, if he wasn't in Phoenix when F&F happened, he was assigned there in March 2011.  USBP Agent Brian Terry was killed by the F&F-walked AK in December 2010.  Brandon is assigned in March 2011.  Brandon, as Deputy Director, is later in charge of who will be punished, not punished, fired (nobody was fired), etc...

 

 

Screenshots I grabbed, while they're still fresh:

The guy he is replacing wasn't any better either. He was a master politician in the Minneapolis office when he served there. I am guessing he knows something is coming down and is getting out before it hits the fan.

If they classify every operation that people want to question him about, and he's no longer serving in that agency, then his Non Disclosure Agreement prevents him from talking about any of those operations for 80 years after he is read-off (no longer has access to his security-cleared status).

 

Same schit they did to David Patreaus, just to keep him from talking about Benghazi.  Literally. 

 

The only way around that is to have the person read-on again (given access in a securty-cleared status), and have classified inquiries by Congress.  Not gonna happen.

 

This administration knows what it's doing - and you can bet your ass it's this administration that's doing it, pulling all the strings.
