Nothing Exceeds Like Excess

ATF Director: Adamiak’s sentence “excessive” [More]

As previously noted, he’s missing the point.

But what I want to focus on is this business of ATF Firearm Enforcement Officer Jeffrey Bodell spreading falsehoods under oath to affect trial outcomes, and how is that anything but prejudicial perjury? Everybody realizes ATF has been getting away with that for years right?

But don’t take my word for it:

ATF Director Cekada’s Concern for Adamiak Misses Larger Point

“Cekada promised neither he nor the ATF will be ‘offended by the outcome of the courts,’ because he wants to make sure that Adamiak was ‘appropriately sentenced’,” Williams recounted. That’s mighty big of him. However, Second Amendment advocates should be offended by such a presumptuous response. [More]

Focusing on the punishment being too harsh ignores the intolerable injustice of there being any punishment at all.

Time to Put Up

It is definitely time for ATF new leadership to take responsibility for Adamiak’s false arrest, fictitious prosecution and undeserved incarceration. [More]

After all, Cekada IS “the first ever truly pro-Second Amendment nominee to head the agency.” Our “gun rights leaders have told us so!

Ask the Expert

Expert firearm witness criticizes ATF’s treatment of Patrick “Tate” Adamiak [More]

Longtime advisor, earlier “Shockwave” developer, “small cadre” co-conspirator and all-around pal Len Savage weighs in.

The much-vaunted “Second Amendment Task Force” ought to consult with this guy on all ATF technology/rules-related matters.

Meanwhile, Over at ‘the Most Pro-Gun Administration in History’…

Bodell’s lengthy report details how he took parts off of a live RPG in order to make Adamiak’s inert RPGs, which he labeled as Exhibit 30, fire an AK round. [More]

All that’s missing were chains, zip ties and duct tape!

Where the hell is Harmeet Dhillon?

Where Credit is Due

According to the actual complaint, a Florida gun dealer became suspicious of Delgado after he tried to purchase his fourth Barrett rifle, which can retail for $10,000 or more. As a result, the gun dealer contacted the ATF directly. [More]

If he hadn’t reported suspicions he’d have been treated as a co-conspirator. That, to me, is the greater issue.

Speaking of Using Full Might…

Adamiak is about to start the third year of his 20-year federal prison sentence because the ATF reworked his legal inert RPGs until they were capable of firing a single 7.62x39mm round. [More]

Hey, go with what works, right?

You can learn more about that and how they exploited a malfunction to put another vet away in a recent Firearms News piece.

What did Pam Bondi say?

‘”It is the policy of this Department of Justice to use its full might to protect the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens.”

No Country for Old Men

The entire State of Missouri can rest much easier now. The ATF has made the Show-Me State a much safer place. Two rule breakers from small Missouri towns were indicted by a federal grand jury last week. Their crimes? They’re accused of selling guns without a federal license. Their ages? One was 75 and the other was 81 years old. [More]

As long as infringements are enforced, it’s no country for citizens of any age.

So much for the “Second Amendment Task Force“…

Where Credit is Due

By far the vast majority of the actions described in the press releases – the arrests and the investigations – were not the result of any work by the ATF. The arrests were made by local cops who found a stolen gun or noticed that their suspect was a convicted felon and should not have possessed a firearm. [More]

Who do these guys think they are? NRA…?
