Anti-government rhetoric at your FFL

[arrowtech]

Last week I was calling the local FFLs to compare out the door pricing on a S&W MP 15. One of the proprietors, someone I've had past business dealings with, took the call as an opportunity to rant against Obama and congress. I have to admit, while I may share some of his opinions, I was more than a little reticent about sharing my own thoughts over the phone. We are all aware of the push by the Feds, to report any "inflammatory gun store rhetoric," so why would I, or anyone, wish to say anything "anti-government" over the wire tapped phone system? As an aside, I found a suitable price and made the purchase. While in the shop, I asked the dealer if he often gets visited by the ATF. He told me that "they're here all time" and that they're taking photos of transactions.

You ATF guys need to come up with better screen names. None of us are anti-government and we all enjoy paying our taxes to the man. Move along...

Why be afraid? Screw the gov and screw whatever they are currently up to.
I don't give two shits who is listening to me, reading my posts, or watching my local FFL. I'm a law abiding citizen who won't be pushed around by an over bearing government. The most powerful weapon we have is our voice. Don't voluntarily give that up.

I always said batf should be a convince store. not a government agency.

Good line but not very original.

I hope the ATF isn't photographing transactions inside a private property without a warrant.

You mean the ATF should be concerned about breaking the law? I always thought any government agent was above the law... At least they all seem to think they are.

Well said my friend.
