I am very lucky. As an FFL the “inspectors” in Lubbock, TX have been very decent and I feel comfortable calling and asking questions. They have allways been polite and very helpful. I have read stories from back in the 70′s about the horrible excesses & I still don’t completely trust these local “fairly good guys”. I did have the occasion to attend an ATF dealers seminar held locally about 3 years ago. One of the speakers was a young black woman “inspector” from Dallas and I got the impression she was very impressed with her authority and was probably a racist bitch from hell and would love to steal or destroy anything a “honky” had.

I don’t get it, either. I even looked up the history of the phrase, and I still don’t get it.

They are the only agency I know of whose sole purpose for existence is to violate the constitution. It is part of their charter. Talk about organized crime!

F Troop’s very existance warrants their appearance in the funnys at every given chance. They could show the JBTs stomping Bill or Garfield to death.

I think I got that part. but I’m wondering what ATF has done recently to warrant coverage in the funny papers?

I think the joke is that they’ve added mistakes to their mission statement. That way, when they screw something up, they can say it’s part of their job and their asses are thus covered. It’s not funny, which might be why you didn’t get it.
