    and as a result, every job within the ATF should be lost. Sadly, it will affect many families that may have thought they were doing something "for the good". However, even more sadly, any and every ATF agent currently employed should know better and that they are working for a very broken, and corrupt element of our government.

    @Brad H Yes, and unlike the criminal system's presumption of innocence until proven guilty, with the IRS, one is guilty unless and until one can prove him or her self innocent. I provided sufficient proof to beat my audit of a past tax return, but it wasn't easy and wouldn't have been possible without much help. 20 years ago the IRS made much trouble in my life all over less than $1000, BUT LOST! Extracting and extorting money from working folks at gun point looks good on paper to generate revenue, but just might generate revolt instead.

What’s more, they ONLY looked at the paperwork on the boxes and assumed that the lowers that were listed on the paperwork were in the box. Rather than CONFIRMING each lower’s number matched what was listed in the paperwork. Incompetence at its finest.

    In terms of ATF/DEA I agree. But the USMS and HSI are literally reconverting dozens of human trafficking victims per week. We need strict enforcement on our federal agencies with directly drawn lines as to the extent of their powers. The framers gave the government quite a bit of power, and I think just over the last 40 years we’ve seen the tipping point as to where they’re headed. The hardest part of this is knowing that we have such little recourse outside of chaos and lawlessness. People like to talk about “watering the tree with tyrants blood” etc, and obviously the vast majority are grown men who have no idea how to clear a weapons malfunction… But even the idea of that seems to not sink in with a lot of people. If we get to the point where we’re organizing against our own government, the amount of opportunists mixed with infighting is going to create the catalyst for the end of this nation in a very, very bloody way. I’ve grown pretty disgruntled after serving this country and seeing where it’s going both socially and economically. I’m willing and able to “go”, I just fear the aftermath.

    That is because nobody lets them answer. Basically, there is a rule when testifying to define terms. Any witness knows that to avoid confusion or a perjury charge, you have to define terms. Matt does not let someone answer. He tries to ask misleading questions which make people look evasive when they are not. He does this by asking questions which assume facts that the witness disputes. This forces the witness to be unable to answer the question directly. An example of this strategy applied to a DWI trial: "Sir, are you a little drunk or very drunk right now?" "I'm not drunk at all." "You are refusing to answer. All I want to know is if you were very drunk or just a bit drunk."

Jeremiah 50:3,8-10,13-15,22-24,26,29-32,35-38,40-43,45-46 [3]For out of the north there cometh up a nation against her, which shall make her land desolate, and none shall dwell therein: they shall remove, they shall depart, both man and beast. [8]Remove out of the midst of Babylon, and go forth out of the land of the Chaldeans, and be as the he goats before the flocks.

[10]And Chaldea shall be a spoil: all that spoil her shall be satisfied, saith the LORD. [13]Because of the wrath of the LORD it shall not be inhabited, but it shall be wholly desolate: every one that goeth by Babylon shall be astonished, and hiss at all her plagues. [14]Put yourselves in array against Babylon round about: all ye that bend the bow, shoot at her, spare no arrows: for she hath sinned against the LORD. [15]Shout against her round about: she hath given her hand: her foundations are fallen, her walls are thrown down: for it is the vengeance of the LORD: take vengeance upon her; as she hath done, do unto her. [22]A sound of battle is in the land, and of great destruction. [23]How is the hammer of the whole earth cut asunder and broken! how is Babylon become a desolation among the nations! [24]I have laid a snare for thee, and thou art also taken, O Babylon, and thou wast not aware: thou art found, and also caught, because thou hast striven against the LORD. [26]Come against her from the utmost border, open her storehouses: cast her up as heaps, and destroy her utterly: let nothing of her be left. [29]Call together the archers against Babylon: all ye that bend the bow, camp against it round about; let none thereof escape: recompense her according to her work; according to all that she hath done, do unto her: for she hath been proud against the LORD, against the Holy One of Israel. [30]Therefore shall her young men fall in the streets, and all her men of war shall be cut off in that day, saith the LORD. [31]Behold, I am against thee, O thou most proud, saith the Lord GOD of hosts: for thy day is come, the time that I will visit thee. [32]And the most proud shall stumble and fall, and none shall raise him up: and I will kindle a fire in his cities, and it shall devour all round about him. [35]A sword is upon the Chaldeans, saith the LORD, and upon the inhabitants of Babylon, and upon her princes, and upon her wise men. [36]A sword is upon the liars; and they shall dote: a sword is upon her mighty men; and they shall be dismayed. [37]A sword is upon their horses, and upon their chariots, and upon all the mingled people that are in the midst of her; and they shall become as women: a sword is upon her treasures; and they shall be robbed. [38]A drought is upon her waters; and they shall be dried up: for it is the land of graven images, and they are mad upon their idols. [40]As God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbour cities thereof, saith the LORD; so shall no man abide there, neither shall any son of man dwell therein. [41]Behold, a people shall come from the north, and a great nation, and many kings shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth. [42]They shall hold the bow and the lance: they are cruel, and will not shew mercy: their voice shall roar like the sea, and they shall ride upon horses, every one put in array, like a man to the battle, against thee, O daughter of Babylon. [43]The king of Babylon hath heard the report of them, and his hands waxed feeble: anguish took hold of him, and pangs as of a woman in travail. [45]Therefore hear ye the counsel of the LORD, that he hath taken against Babylon; and his purposes, that he hath purposed against the land of the Chaldeans: Surely the least of the flock shall draw them out: surely he shall make their habitation desolate with them. [46]At the noise of the taking of Babylon the earth is moved, and the cry is heard among the nations.
