[Wakeman]

That's insane.

Any chance Leatherman will tell em to go fark emselves?

*Did not see that this was a 2007 request - anyone know if they filled the order? Also wondering how many Firearms owners have a Leatheman product. Bet it is a huge percentage. Wonder how they would react to having them all sent back with a promise never to purchase another Leatherman product again.

It says Fuck The ATF

[joemcg]

Looks like the ATF is requesting Leatherman products inscribed with "Always Think Forfeiture" as giveaways (maybe to the Agents with the most private property siezed??).

Pray to God this comes up the next time one of them is under oath in front of the congress.

I wonder what would come of sending this link to Congressmen and Senators known to be critical of the ATF. Can you say "hearing".

[Half Cocked]

Sooooo... I am to assume that you folks are against the feds seizing the house and vehicles and cash of Drug Dealers and others who are Violating Federal Law and selling illegal guns on the street. These seizures that result in millions of dollars a year that pays for training and equipment for police (including your local police), as well as monies to conduct undercover purchases of guns, that does not come from your tax dollars?

Just checking that all!!
