Read the complete sentences bro. I said IF, then you are a moron. Its your kind of linear thinking that insures failed or marginalized cases. Take his guns, (as you recall almost ALL of the straw purchasers guns had already been traced to violence in Mexico)(Remember Voth and Gillette bragging via email?)(and a few eggs comment?). I said Halfway to PC. READ SLOWLY. Make him and his attorney come in and explain why he makes $15000 a year and just bought $70,000 worth of guns. What do you like the chances you'll EVER hear from that guys again? Hein endith the lesson. I don't have time to school you. However, YOUR opinions are always welcome. BUT do not represent your opinion for fact. There is more line agent and Inspector glorifying that goes on day to day on this website than you can shake a stick at. WE LOVE ATF. We do however take exception to our veteran Agents being fired for nonsense,while perverted bosses are sticking their "Johnsons" through plywood in government quarters are getting promoted.Why do you think we have all laid our asses on the line to get it right. Blame the corrupt and inept managers for the chaos we are experiencing. NOT those who are trying to hold them accountable. Let me rephrase my earlier. I do NOW think you are a moron. You may feel free to remove the IF.
Vince,
If this is loving ATF, I would hate to see you mad at ATF. So, the guy refuses to talk with you and you confront him and he stops trafficking guns. This has been standard policy for years. No charges. This is the reality of the situation. I don't want to get into anymore of the reality of the situation than that, but it isn't like we see a guy who looks like he is trafficking and we can go arrest him. We use to have the luxury of putting the fear of god into this guys, but with the violence of the cartels, things have changed. I am only trying to acknowledge that the world has changed over the past 20 years. I thought this would actually be an interesting discussion. Sorry for trying to add a point that you don't agree with. I would bet that there is a little more bad mouthing ATF every day on this site than GLORIFYING LINE AGENTS and Inspectors. Good luck. I hope you win you appeal.
