I go with the rogue agency -- these guys should not have any jurisdiction over firearms since the ownership of them is our god given right we should be able to order them or buy them without any licenses or controls required If Joe wants a full auto AK or a Vulcan I am for it

I know two BATFE agents. They have law enforcement jobs: underpaid, underappreciated, hated by many, praised by few.

Cool Yup, I agree.....

[B]I go with the rogue agency -- :nod:

I must agree! I think they are scumbags of the highest degree! I think they operate without any restraint and they fear no one, not even the gummit! They answer to no one and they would seize every gun in America, except for the gods like Barbara S. and the rest of the holiwood royalty. they should be all .........! what do we need them for? That's why we have police! Bad guys get arrested, tried and sent to jail. Call the BATF and you have a BBQ. Or, they kill your son, wife, dog and try to kill you. Instead of more power they should get the.......! GRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Someday, maybe, we will have justice and all those responsibile will.................! Someday!:nod:
