Putting Andrew Traver in charge of the ATF would be like putting David Duke in charge of the Civil Rights Commission.
The 2nd Amendment is a civil right and we don’t need people antagonistic to civil rights anywhere in the government, let alone the ATF.
Yeah, I know the bill of rights is trampled on daily in DC but that still doesn’t make it right.
So Alan, how do we exert pressure on Obama to not make this appointment (assume it will be a recess appointment)? Pressure John Boehner to threaten to defund the ATF if Obama appoints Traver?
And if Boehner does threaten such action, can we really be sure that a politician will be true to their word?
Sorry, I know the answer to that.
