Another anti government wacko....

We are now being told about how important our President feels gun control is necessary yet it seems that if the ATF(E) could get their own house in order most of the gun crime would take care of ending itself.....
I hope that this all has shed some light on some of the failed operations that have been lead by our own Government agency here, the ATF has done a lot of good things as well over the years, it's just too bad that they have let so many bad operations such as those I have listed here, and I only hope that someone decides to take their post as Director serious and puts to end operations like "Fast and Furious", "Wide Receiver" and "Too Hot to Handle" they are obviously doing much more harm than good, and it has to end now! When someone from our own Government comes to the director of the ATF with the next bad idea someone needs to speak up and say NO WAY! Maybe the Director needs to have a conscience and won't be willing to compromise the integrity of the department.
There is so much more that I could add to this, but right now I think it's best if I just let this all sink in for now.

In April 2011, a large cache of weapons, 40 traced to Fast and Furious but also including military-grade weapons difficult to obtain legally in the US such as an anti-aircraft machine gun and grenade launcher, was found in the home of Jose Antonio Torres Marrufo, a prominent Sinaloa Cartel member, in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico. Torres Marrufo was indicted, but evaded law enforcement for a brief time. Finally, on February 4, 2012, Marrufo was arrested by the Mexican Police.
On May 29, 2011, four Mexican Federal Police helicopters attacked a cartel compound, where they were met with heavy fire, including from a .50 caliber rifle. According to a report from the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, this rifle is likely linked to Fast and Furious.
There have been questions raised over a possible connection between Fast and Furious and the death of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent Jaime Zapata on February 15, 2011.
One has to wonder if any of the shootings that have happened this year, or since "Slow and Sleepy" fell apart have been or could be directly related to this botched operation.
The Senate is responsible for the possible lack of leadership that the ATF has had for the past 6+ years since they have not allowed a confirmation of a Director for this post, no reasons have ever been given that I have been able to find either, so we have this, "acting" directors, who all have one major thing in common, the inability to except any blame! How many people need to die because of the errors from failed, botched, and just plain sloppy operations from our own Governments department of Alcohol (which doesn't seem to have any problems at all) Tobacco (another area that they seem to have under control) Firearms (That's the area that seems to be giving them the most trouble!) and Explosives, (better hide your fireworks people)before something or someone is acknowledged to be the problem?

It's also well worth noting here that the ATF brought us the gun walking operation also known as operation "Fast and Furious" and as we now know that operation was responsible for the murder of Agent Brian Terry (more than likely there are more that we just don't know of yet) however US Attorney Eric Holder (who was also involved) will never charge anyone who was directly responsible for it, and his finger prints are on that operation himself. Altogether, 2,020 firearms were bought by straw purchasers during Fast and Furious. These included AK-47 variants, Barrett .50 caliber sniper rifles, .38 caliber revolvers, and FN Five-sevens. As of October 20, 2011, 389 had been recovered in the US and 276 had been recovered in Mexico. The rest remained on the streets, unaccounted for. Most of the guns went to the Sinaloa Cartel, while others made their way to El Teo and La Familia.
That's some serious firepower that is now unaccounted for, and it would seem that the ATF isn't even concerned about it one bit, and now they are going to head up a department that is going to make sure gun related crime is cleaned up, WHEN THEY ARE DIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE FOR A LOT OF IT TO BEGIN WITH! Good God, am I the only one who sees the flaws in this plan???
Reflecting on the operation, Attorney General Eric Holder said that the United States government is "...losing the battle to stop the flow of illegal guns to Mexico," and that the effects of Operation Fast and Furious will most likely continue to be felt for years, as more walked guns appear at Mexican crime scenes.

The same House committee that investigated Fast and Furious said it would look into the Milwaukee operation.

So I take that statement to mean that we will never be told the truth about this operation either.
Operation Slow and Sleepy is now another bust for the ATF, the agency that our President has put in charge of keeping us safe,
yet somehow I don't feel safe one bit after this latest botched operation.
A 10-month ATF storefront operation intended to bust felons for drug and gun offenses was flawed. Burglars stole $35,000 in merchandise and an agent’s machine gun from the sting operation and a document listing undercover agents was also left behind. Well that's nice, he calls this operation "flawed" that's all you see this as, flawed? Let's get real here, and don't blame this on the fact that the ATF didn't have an official director either, B. Todd Jones has been the acting director of the ATF since August 30th 2011, and there have been "Acting" directors ever since the former official Director Carl J. Truscottit was terminated after what was deemed as violating ethics rules by requiring 20 employees to help his teenage nephew prepare a high school video project. In hindsight it seems small in comparison. It was only recently that President Obama nominated him to take the post of official Director of the ATF instead of acting director, maybe that will make a difference, yeah right.

I smell a huge rotting RAT ! To much drama means to much cover up ! We will see.

meanwhile, I investigated the mysterious disappearance of a bag of cookies from my kitchen counter.. I concluded the dog did it.. now pardon me while I go wipe the cookie crumbs off my hands and face..
mistakes were made, others will be blamed.

Obama appointed Jones as the Acting Director for the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives in September of 2011 (replacing the previous Acting Director after the failed Fast and Furious). Obviously, his performance as Acting Director has shown that he lacks the experience and qualifications to be in charge.

Why has it taken so long for Obama to nominate someone to the permanent position? There has not been a permanent director since 2006, what happened when democrats had control from 2007 and most of Obama's first term?

The latest botched operation (Milwaukee) is clear indication this man is not qualified.

Laurel and Hardy at the ATF.

1400 of the same type of guns they want to ban. I wonder how many 30+ round clips they let get out too. Lets arm other countries while attempting to disarm ours.

We'll just see about how serious the Republicans are about finally allowing the office to have a leader at all, having blocked both Obama's and Bush's nominees for six years running:

Oh, I guess not so serious. As always, Republicans claim government doesn't work, and use their power to make sure it doesn't.

THEY NEED A LEADER FOR ATF THANK YOU OBAMA FOR FINALLY GETTING ONE
