Having a discussion with a former co worker on FB and this gal chimes in! Have fun! Copied and pasted from the discussion.
Sorry guys, but If that was the case half if the U.S population would be on the No Fly list. Lol. What I can tell you as a retired ATF agent is that the NRA is more powerful than anyone in government, and controls this multi-million dollar international industry, and countless politician with lobbying $$$$. ATF has had no Director for over a year due to NRA's influence on government. I love my guns, and have trained and carried an AR-15 as an agent. In my professional opinion, we need to restrict all military- type weapons available to the public; better regulate gun shows; background checks, require training of gun owners, and mandatory re-certifications ( military and police have to, why bot the general public); require more responsible gun ownership. Most importantly, we need to allow law enforcement to work together ( fund better communication), update the tracing of illegal sales, and so much more. We changed explosives laws after terrorist acts, , why not assault weapons? Very few people stand the chance of surviving up against an AR-15, unless we all carry them around everywhere we go, and that's not going to happen, or if it does, God help us Why are firearm manufacturers allowed to sell silencers, bullet-proof vests, armor piercing ammo, and 50 calibre ammunition via the mail? You need that shit to protect your home and family? How can the average citizen or law aw enforcement go up against all this when were only allowed to carry a pistol and back-up weapon (unless your a SWAT type of unit, or similarI? I am a gun owner, and have no problem complying with all the checks and balances ( i have to jump more loops and hoops as a retired agent that Joe shmoe), but I do it cuz I got nothing to hide. |

I'd respond. "Thanks for your input comrade"
A true JBT posted that drivel. |

You know, being a retired government employ and likely having a multitude of experience in dealing with all the paperwork that government work entails, you'd think she'd know how to split up her thoughts into coherent paragraphs. Or at the very least, make her sentences grammatically correct and legible.

Tell her when you are baking a cake then you will ask her opinion.

That reads like some 20 year old basket-weaving major SJW took every liberal gun control trope and vomited it up on a page, and added in "retired ATF" to lend some sort of legitimacy to it.
I'm going to assume that even the ATF employees that are below retard IQ know what can and can't be bought through the mail. |

reads like a mouth breather that hasnt left basement in a while

Tell her she sounds like BATFE and that's why no one respects her or her worthless opinions.

Ask that cocksucker what his oath was, when he took employment with a government agency. Then ask him why he's a quisling traitor to his oath.

James B Comely Jr. Director of the FBI thought you can buy guns on the internet have have them sent to your house.
Google is your friend, i cant link. |

Sounds like G.G., a character in the book "Unintended Consequences".

This is what we're dealing with people. An ATF agent thinks you can mail order suppressors to your doorstep. Someone who was given the task to enforce gun laws doesn't even know what the laws are in the first place. That's just fantastic.

Wow, an incompetent half-wit douchebag worked for BATFE. Who would have guessed. |

Either lying about being ex-ATF or a complete fucking idiot! Or both, obviously!

NRA is more powerful than anyone in gov? The entire thing was written up by someone who is not or ever has been an ATF agent.
I'm sure a ton of them are that retarded, but that person is not an retired ATF agent. |

So now they have a problem with the unwashed masses having body armor, because they feel like we have to make ourselves more vulnerable, you know, in case they feel the need to shoot us at any time. Are we going to be required to wear shirts with bullseyes on them as well? Why not, I've got nothing to hide, and if my government needs to shoot me then I'm glad to help ,I guess...

They both carry some of their traditions and sayings with them still. At any rate a retired ATF agent isnt the greatest source for info on gun laws, especially one that some how thinks they have more regulations to jump through. Silencers by mail? Armor piercing ammo? Just a useful idiot, likely liar, that is willing to play the party line. Just tell her that her opinion doesnt matter for shit and it is people like her driving gun sales through the roof. |

Why don't more people who like guns work in the ATF?
I really wonder how much power the NRA has? The gun industry really isn't that big - put together it is probably smaller than Apple and definitely doesn't have as much money as the oil industry. Yet it is always about how powerful the NRA is... So here's a site: www.opensecrets.org - I've done no vetting of their credentials but here's some of their lists: Gun Rights is #56 on the list of interests in Q1 2016 with $2.9M in lobbying money. #1 on the list is Pharmaceuticals/Health Products at $63.8M which is almost 23 times more money... NRA doesn't even register on the Lobbying Client list... US Chamber of Commerce spent $22.9M in 2016, about 10 times what was spent on Gun Rights. In 2013 the Gun Rights spending approached $16M where the spent $6.4M in 2012... Other single item lobbies out spending Gun Rights are Environmental, Foreign Policy, Human Rights (which looks like a ton of different topics lumped together) - many of the other groups seem to spend a lot less money... After looking at that site - wow - I need to go into lobbying - there is huge money being thrown around... |

View Quote Probably because (metaphorically at least) slamming your dick repeatedly with your desk drawer every time you go to work doesn't sound like a whole lot of fun to most people. Now I'm sure there are a few people who like guns that work there, but they're probably buying Pepto by the case just having to deal with their co-workers. |

The only thing she said that made sense was about allowing law enforcement agencies to talk and share intelligence.
You would expect this to be taking place already. It was one of the lessons learned after 9/11. It is also the case that in many of these mass shootings, someone knew that the killer was unstable. But this isn't an issue restricted to mass shootings, it also applies to every other form of criminality and goes towards a much broader range of competencies. Seems to me that the failings of information management between agencies and relevant partners is being overshadowed deliberately by a drive to ban inanimate objects and collectively punish innocent people, and shift the focus to a single issue rather than looking at the wider preventative measures. |

View Quote The sharing of information deal was supposed to happen as a result of the 9/11 Commission hearings, but the one of the problems with those hearings was one of the members on the Commission was the vapid twat that helped put up the "walls" up between agencies communicating in the first place. That showed me exactly how seriously the Commission was taking things and how sterling their recommendations were going to wind up being. As for the mental health issue that is a big part of it, but again it's something that can be directly linked to liberals gutting the system of mental institutions that were in place for decades. They raised awareness about how bad conditions at some facilities were (and some of them were downright terrible) but instead of reforming them they just demanded that the system go away and for the most part it did. We have hundreds of thousands of people walking around that in earlier times would have been unquestionably institutionalized. Add in the fact that people love to self medicate and you have a lot of ticking timebombs walking our streets. The murder by auto that I mentioned in an earlier post that happened in my county would never have happened if the guy could have been properly institutionalized. He found a car with the keys in it at the local hospital parking lot (there are contradicting stories on why he was there to begin with) then stole the car right out of the hospital parking lot, drove maybe a block, saw a woman mowing her grass and decided to run her over. Then after he did that he ran into a house and started beating on a couple of teenage girls that were inside. If someone passing by hadn't seen it all happen and run into that house and beat the tar out of/restrain him until the cops got there he probably would have killed both the girls as well. He got off lucky actually, the passerby was a blackbelt out for a jog...which was the only reason she wasn't carrying like she normally does, in which case she just would have shot him. |
