If I was going to guess what the official looked like just from the title of your post, it would have been pretty accurate. I am sure it was a delight to have her come do her inspections as your IOI.

As an aside, it is ridiculous how many level of middle management are in the ATF. She held what appears to be 7 different "management" positions in 14 years. A great way to eliminate all of those superfluous positions would be to eliminate the entire agency.

Totally agree. Their chain-of-command is a damn joke.

I am sure it is the same throughout the Federal bureaucracy, layer upon layer of people doing nothing of value and getting paid handsomely.

Corporate world too. Two years is the average in a poisition except executives. It is either Up or out.

Best way to deal with this is to get rid of the agency

Well it seems like there's one anti-gun senior official still working at the ATF, it could be easily fixed by dissolving the Agency, and then there would be none.

Considering the unique history of America as compared to other nations, it’s quite unsettling that we Americans let it come to such a time as this.

We have put far to much dependence on government policy, regardless of party, instead of practicing independence which our forefathers died for. “Freedom must guarded with jealous intention,” stated one founder. That’s not passive disposition.

That’s why I accepted as a young man, the offer to study and train for Civil Intelligence work after the USMC. After all these years, I can truly say, most Americans today don’t actually understand what we have to lose in America, especially if we ever give up our weapons.

An unarmed American is a surf and a slave! It’s time to take back our nation. That starts with each local community. It’s a choice and a few of us were actually trained just how to do that.

Very well said, sir.

Word! We also have politicians that couldn’t tell you which is the business end of a weapon.

My paternal grandfather understood. That’s why he left Eastern Europe to escape the Austro-Hungarian meat grinder in the early 1900s and live in the USA. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be here to comment.

I’m surprised there’s only one anti-gunner at the agency. Kinda figured it was a prerequisite for employment there. I kinda still do.

There are many people there, like other government agencies that are passive and will follow what ever the flavors of the week are.

I’ll say it a thousand times, Americans must take charge of America again. Our Constitutional construction was designed for accountability and that hasn’t happened.

So, 20 years in the ATF but never held a position covering alcohol or tobacco. Hmmm.

So let’s find out all there is to know.

Like then there would be none. Part of the swamp. Trampling citizens god given constitutional rights.

I wish to see RICO charges to be brought against Everytown and other related organizations. There is a clear pattern of depriving people of their constitutional rights using extortion, which is coordinated across state lines.

Evil spawn created by the ATF. Ron Paul was right, as usual. Abolish the ATF!

These Idiot’s Waste Tons of Your Hard Earned Tax money of yours . They can not even disassemble a 9 mm semi-auto pistol,takes about 5 seconds , once you have done it once. This was seen on a CBS 60 min. Show . Abolish this waste of money department and let the FBI take on this department. We Need to Lower Our Outrages Spending.

There are a lot of useless department’s like this, get rid of this Wasteful useless spending and look for Saving Money and Common Sense projects that will increase our money. We must Eliminate China and RE-Shore our Products back to the UNITED STATES. Don’t they realize China is the Enemy? All our Drugs out of the hands of the CCP!

If that isn't very telling then I don't know what is. Defund the ATF! Or is it the AFT, Joe?

She needs to get her ass in the kitchen and start making sandwiches. Lots of sandwiches. For everyone.

She was a traitor to start now she's bringin' her feminist bullshit into local politics. Do not celebrate this as any sort of victory. It's not. It's disgusting.

Kitchen. Sandwiches. Now.
