Why tho

 

[SpaceCritter]

It's a shame they left in one piece.

 

[Satcom]

Why tho

They, the shop, say they are the largest gun store in the world. It is also a very popular campaign stop for Republican candidates in Georgia.

To paraphrase Carly Simon

16 agents? Unprecedented? I think the mill would like a word.

an IRS will come next. it all gets batshit crazy, it seems. like the intimidation of taibbi.

The unprecedented, i think, comes from 16 out of staters when we have 20 atf agents in atlanta alone.

 

[DGV1860]

quote " it's just a routine inspection." With 16 agents?

 

[not new guy]

Wait, how much did the federal government spend in airfare alone for that inspection? Do they not have agents in GA?

 

[SgtHal75]

Guess they learned thier lesson and didn’t roll up in cattle cars

 

[gerrycaruso]

The ATF has agents in Georgia but they flew in 16 from all over the place? Your tax dollars at work.

The amount spent to transport the agents there from anti gun blue states is of secondary concern to the fact that they brought them there at all.

Even the mill got a bunch of out of area ATF Agents. The Rapid Response Team or something like that since they said the Boston office couldn’t handle it.

...which was ALSO intended as intimidation.

 

[ddeck]

...which was ALSO intended as intimidation.

Yes, as another person posted, not really unprecedented. We just don’t have any US congress office holders who would publicize it.

The results from the mill? AFAIK, nothing.

 

[Lank]

The ATF needs to go buhbye

 

[SpaceCritter]

The ATF needs to go buhbye

...as does the rest of the Tripthong Soup.

Putting a few of them processing Form 4’s would be helpful.

 

[FisherTech]

I have said this before on other threads, here it is again. Every ATF agent needs to be stripped of their law enforcement status, made GS-7 unarmed compliance officers. No lateral to any other agency. They can retire or resign if they don't like their new job assignment.

 

[PaulR]

The Democrats are doubling/tripling down on the weaponization of the government.

 

[SpaceCritter]

The Democrats are doubling/tripling down on the weaponization of the government.

When they launched the Wuhan bug as a means of implementing fraud-by-mail, they knew it was a brass-ring-grab.

They GOT that sucker.

 

[namedpipes]

They needed the RIGHT 16 agents, not just whoever was closest.

For anyone that missed it, I meant "corrupt", not "proper"...

I've heard that there can be concern over the local agents getting maybe too cozy/familiar with the ffl's where they might have more of a tendency to overlook minor infractions or whatever. In a high profile, possibly politically motivated inspection, I'd imagine bringing in non locals would help to minimize any questioning and scrutiny of their own process.
With this recent 'zero tolerance' crap from the current 'administration', I'd assume they're under a bit of added pressure...

The ATF has no right to exist. There is nothing that could justify any actions they take.

I wonder if the Hun would have found this line of work so attractive if that was the case…

Say what you want about MTG , you sure as shit weren't going to see Romney or Collins or Merkcowski getting in those jackboots faces.

Nor Shaheen, Hassan, Pappas or Kuster (who actually sees Kuster, anywhere, anyway, except for campaign events?).
