Linky Links

Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.

- Rep Gaetz introduces Abolish the ATF Act. I've long supported abolishing the ATF (and I don't even own a gun)

- Ben Franklin's 4 Rules for Living (HT Steve Layman)

- Heh Heh (HT Some It's Just as Well)

- RIP Chris Ford. It's tough when the athletes you grew up rooting for start passing away. Memento mori.

End the ATF

The ATF (technically the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives) has changed its name to the Violent Crime Bureau.

I have to laugh at this. Who does the ATF think it is? A spin-off of the Law and Order TV franchise?

If I were President one of the first things I'd do is dismantle the ATF. Every President seems to have a scandal originating from the ATF (Waco, Ruby Ridge, Fast and Furious, etc.). Nothing but bad news. Offer any ATF employee within 5-years of retirement a package. Let all qualified field agents go to work at the FBI. Give the rest of the ATF employees 4 weeks severance. Done. No more ATF. No more need for a name change.

Who would complain about doing this? Who out there is pro-ATF?
