Both were web cast this afternoon, starting at 2PM Eastern time.
Anyone see the broadcast? Questions, comment.
Struck me that the BATFE did not come off looking especially well. Then there was VPC's Ms.Rand, who regaled viewers with her complaints about the fact that prior to the Clinton Administration's War On FFL's, there were more licensees than there were gasoline stations in the U.S. She never quite got to telling anyone why this fact constituted a problem for anyone, other than anti gunners such as herself and VPC.
There was also a "horror story" dealing with the questionable actions of BATFE and a police department, regarding an Lt. on that dept, I believe it was Phoenix, Arizona. Sounded as if he was run round the flagpole by the above mentioned. Turns out that he was acquitted of criminal charges in a jury trial.
Getting back to BATFE, it seems that they maintain a "zero tolerance policy" regarding even minor clerical errors by FFL's. Think how such as that would effect government agencies, if applied to them. INS, TSA, FEMA, and the BATFE itself, along with their actions, comes to mind.
NYC's Mayor Bloomberg spoke in oposition to H.R. 5005. He also claimed that he was not an opponent of the Second Amendment or of gun ownership per se, at least that was the drift that I got from the web cast.
