WHAT IS THE LOGIC OF HAVING A FEDERAL AGENCY
LED BY PEOPLE WHO WANT THE INDUSTRY TO DIE?

How bad is BATFE now? Astoundingly: CleanUpATF.org. The tyranny of BATFE must end. It's corrupt purpose is self-evident: You would never consider leading the Aviation Administration with people afraid to fly—you pick pilots, aircraft designers, industry leaders, so the industry can flourish. By proposing an agency head who hates the industry under its thumb, it's obvious what feds seek—not protection of our property and rights.

By trying to put people in charge who detest America's 120 million gun owners, the federal government shows its disdain for the Bill of Rights. Can you imagine if this industry that supplies us with arms and keeps us all safe had people in government they could trust? No? Of course not, all the more reason to scrap this unconstitutional gang of criminals. We do not need hostile anti-rights partisans associated with the ungun cabal like the Bradys, Giffords, Bloomberg astroturf Moms. That's like asking landlubbers to be lifeguards. A leader from industry might help root out the stunning corruption and incompetence in BATFE, but it's not going to happen.

The firearms industry, with its jobs, huge tax-base and solid American traditions for centuries, is bristling with talented, bright, effective leaders. Stop fighting them. Get out of the way, let our leaders lead, energize the field. The existing BATFE is a well-recognized source of fear and loathing, bogging down progress, creating legal landmines and mired in malfeasance and criminal activity. Its compliance costs stymy growth, job creation—and a measure of its success is non-existent. Especially now with consumer demand at all-time highs. America wants its Second Amendment uninfringed. BATFE as pure federal bureaucracy is the opposite of what's needed.
