There I was last night, listening to sports talk radio when it came out of nowhere during a commercial break-

“If you have seen gang activity in your neighborhood, call this toll free number and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives can help.”

I almost drove off the road from shock.  Immediately, I ran through what this friendly radio message translated to in my mind.

“Need more tanks rolling down your streets?  We can help!  You don’t need those incompetent local authorities handling the matter- trust in your Federal Government to solve the problem.”

Or maybe this-

“Are your local firefighters bored?  Need more building infernos to break the monotony?  Call the ATF toll free at 1-800-FAS-CISM, and we’ll bring the same sort of excitement and thrill enjoyed by the good people of Waco to YOUR neighborhood!”

Anyone in their right minds who has looked at the ATF’s track record the past couple decades wouldn’t let those thugs near a gun or even a box of matches for that matter, yet I’m sure indoctrinated sheep all over the LA metro were ringing a Federal Agency to come step all over the 10th Amendment and the LAPD’s jurisdiction.

If that wasn’t bad enough, while searching the ATF site for some explanation of the  anti-gang stormtroopers, I found more:

Hey kids!  It’s your new favorite webpage, http://www.atf.gov/kids/index.htm !

That’s right, fascism for the kindergarten set.  Now your kids can do things like ‘remember a prohibition agent killed in the line of duty’!  It’s true.  Not only are they still glorifying the unconstitutional and ineffective policies of prohibition, but they want your child to do the same.

Had enough of this sort of nonsense?  I know I have.  This garbage from the ATF is just one more aspect of what the movement towards state sovereignty aims to resolve and I’m happy to be a part of it.
