It's time for the ATF to go.

Minors and mentally disabled used in gun and drug stings.

Just when you think you've seen all the stupidity the government can muster, they outdo themselves.

Must be run by the same person as the DOJ.

Or maybe just another 'isolated incident'.

Ridding an area of a large volume of individuals? Hmmmmm where has this been done before...?

This is why the tin foil hattery exists.
If a government law enforcement agency can use a mentally disabled person to help carry out a mission, then there's literally no limit to what else they may do.

And if the ATF is doing something like this, imagine what the CIA/FBI/NSA is doing.

Terrorists also use the mentally disabled for suicide bombings.

What...Holder give up his personal cadre of tabi-wearing liberty rapists? Unlikely...

Trust me you don't want to know.

I don't think there is anything tin foil hattery about it. People can see all the stuff going on in all these agencies/bureaus/organizations. It doesn't even take stretching the imagination any more to figure out their goal - complete control.

They control the FSA by controlling most of what they get and have. They are trying to control those who are more 'independent' or 'self reliant' by increasing the laws and regulations to the point where everyone is probably guilty of something.

And people thought Larry Pratt was nuts for saying the ATF needs to go

The OP's right. It's time to disband, and abolish the bureau of All Things Fun.

If you can't catch the real criminals then just create some opportunistic criminals that you can catch.

Between this and Fast & Furious, they've caused more problems than they've solved.

Defunding ATF would be a great start to deficit reduction.

People in the Fark.com comments on this story were blaming the NRA for "castrating the ATF" and having a lack of resources to find real criminals.

I'm not joking.

That is the MO for most bureaucratic agencies who have outlived their original intent - cause more problems to 'fix' or expand their area of influence. Many of them truly are like a cancer on society.
