- DOGODSWILL, on 07/15/2008, -3/+9 NO it's just the brain dead LIBERAL agenda that is out to undermind our CONSTITUTIONAL rights . And remember B H O (obama) is a LIBERAL MUSLIM that thinks if HE kisses up to the TERRIOST they will love AMERICA .The WORLD TRADE CENTER is the only kind of love they know.
- rightwingkiller, on 07/15/2008, -0/+8The BATF ARE a pack of Jack Booted Thugs. Neal Knox was right.
Anyone who holds a license from the BATF knows that they will come after you if you dare object to their NAZI tactics. It was really bad under Clinton and Reno and I'm afraid to seee what will happen under the Obamassiah.
I'm sure I'll awake to find them at my bedroom door some night.
Better to die on your feet than live on you knees! - isparadiselost, on 07/15/2008, -0/+8Hitler and Stalin would both be very proud.
- Ruler4you, on 07/15/2008, -0/+8What? our government acting tyrannical? over bearing? vindictive? totalitarian? judgmental? with malice?
Look, we have allowed this Nazi-like system to be created and we have bowed to their claim to authority. A congress with a 9% approval? are you kidding me? They are running this country by their own domestic brand of terrorism on our own citizens.
We are on the road to fascism in America and we are almost there. But know this before we get there, this our fault. We believed our politicians when they told us they were doing our work and every thing would be ok. But they are proved to be liars, again. And we still tolerate it... - rkeyo, on 07/15/2008, -0/+6The fascists want our guns so badly, it's amazing they don't all have heart attacks (wishful thinking!). The 2nd Amendment is all that stands between the American people and servitude under neofascist world government.
- AThoughtOrTwo, on 07/15/2008, -0/+6Be afraid, be very afraid.
- zakman55, on 07/15/2008, -0/+5This is certainly a sign of the times with our Liberal anti gun judges and politicians in general. It WILL only get worse with Barack " Hussein" Obama as Commander in Chief. Remember that when you pull the ballot lever. Unfortunately it may already be too late. I WANT to be proven wrong !! Is there a Conservative movement out there that believes in freedom, God, rights and gun ownership ?? Something or someone had better stop this backslide against our "so called" rights and liberties or we ARE doomed !!
- jfm777, on 07/15/2008, -0/+5 It's pretty hard to imagine such evil. Putting a man behind bars, with the murderers and thieves (who get less time) for simply owning a legal rifle that jammed..
Ironic how in this case the punishment IS the crime. and the Judge & Prosecution the criminals! The victim is the defendant. At any time YOU can be arrested and charged with SOMETHING. Every day you break 100 laws or so. If you are the target, then you will go to jail. period.
What the HELL is wrong with this damned country??
Not long from now we are going to be trying to escape THIS country and flee to a safer one! What a shame we allowed this place to become a Marxist ***** hole! We are being led to our own slaughter and all I see is a bunch of 'useful idiots' loving it!
URGGHH! - farmerjohn48pan, on 07/15/2008, -0/+3This is what happens when the nail head sticks up. It gets hammered down. If you complain, they use a drift punch to hammer you even further out of sight.
- Wesen, on 07/15/2008, -1/+1I am grateful to the Government for allowing me to have my little starters pistol and black powder six gun. I promise to not aspire to smokeless powder or god forbid, semi automatics. My neighbor has lots of guns, his name is Jerry.
- sexydarin, on 07/15/2008, -0/+3The leftists have always been totalitarian. That's why they are so dangerous.
- newinnewark, on 07/15/2008, -0/+2As far as I'm concerned anyone who steps up to my front door and demands my guns has signed his own death certificate. LEO's better take a gut check. If you are not going to stand with the people for what is right versus what you are 'ordered' to do then may God have mercy on your soul. At this point I WANT these communist morons to start going door to door trying to take our guns. I'm sick of sitting on my hands while everything that we have worked and died for is being taken away from us.
- THEROD54, on 07/16/2008, -0/+1This smells like the beginning, of the end.
- IconoclastStill, on 07/16/2008, -0/+1This whole episode illustrates the arbitrary and ruthless nature of a government agency entirely out of control.
- Santee56, on 07/16/2008, -0/+0You are right Ruler4you, we gave them this power to stomp us under their boots. We allowed every agency to be formed, allowed every enforcement tactic (even the underhanded ones) and we allow it to continue.
The great problem, with any government or governmental agency, is that when they are empowered to do something, it is almost impossible to stop them from continuing it. The bad policies become entrenched and takes years to dig out, if ever. Government, IE. politicians and agency heads, like power, it is like a drug, and they will never relinquish it, unless forced to do so by the combined power of the citizenry, which very seldom happens.
How many times has a citizen asked why they are being abused, in one way or another, and get the answer of, "because we can"? People who are supposed to be concerned with our rights, violating our rights, simply because they can, and they usually get away with it, which only makes them bolder to do it again.
We allowed it, by our apathy. And in the end, we are the only ones who can change it. That change is brought about at the ballot box. The politicians who do their own thing and not the will of the people they are supposed to serve, can be voted out of office. They can be pressured by the concentrated lobbying of their voters, but only the ballot ends abuse. We need to get rid of the BAFTE and their abusive tactics, just trimming them down will not work.
