The other day I received a fund raiser from JPFO. This item sought monetary assistance for their production of a film critical of BATFE. This film is entitled The Gang. Readers might be familiar with JPFO's position regarding BATFE and their operations and methods.
The mailing also made mention of a new to me outfit. It's name is the National Firearms Trade and Collectors Association, see google.com for more on them. It seems that they are assisting the NFA branch and BATFE in the writing of a manual that would presumable codify BATFE's testing procedure, a procedure that has come under some question, and which it seems, is nowhere written or standardized. Given that charges of violation of federal firearms law, law enforced by BATFE is serious business, the lack of written test criteria strikes one as strange.
The JPFO mailing mentions National Firearms Act Trade and Collectors Association as follows.
We've Got to Stop More than the BATFE
A new industry trade group--the National Firearms Act Trade and Collectors association--(I call them cynical "patriots for profit")-- claims to be working closely with BATFE, helping them write the manual that will solve the testing abuses--It will not.
You cannot end government oppression by working closely--compromising with the oppressors.
----------------------------------
The following is excerpted from the National Firearms Act Trade and Collectors Association web site, Google them for more.
During the last year the NFATCA has worked closely with the ATF and NFA Branch in many ways. Communication lines have been opened and placed us on a much better playing field, both sides working toward a common goal. We have been able to successfully sit down with members of ATF and co-write a new NFA handbook that is user friendly and sets clear rules of understanding for both parties. We are well on our way in this area and have approximately 10 chapters completed thus far.
----------------------------------
What strikes me as curious is the following, especially given the seriousness, for the individual, of being charged with a violation of the federal laws that BATFE enforces. How come there seems to be no written procedure for the testing that criminal charges can rest on. Also, how is it that The Congress, under the control of Democrats as well as Republicans has allowed the above situation to carry on? Also, how is it that Democratic as well as Republican administrations have allowed a government agency to act in such a manner, that is without basic, written procedures that are standardized, and not subject to individual whim or to subjective judgments? We are not dealing with traffic tickets here, for serious criminal penalties are enforced against individuals convicted of violation of the federal laws herein involved, federal law enforced by the BATFE.
Readers might want to address question to their elected things and or to The White House regarding this situation.
