The ATF started emailing and placing calls to gun dealers in the Dallas and Houston areas, warning about attempts by straw purchasers to acquire high-powered weapons. According to one recorded phone call, the ATF believes that the cartels are behind the straw purchases and are “gearing up” for something over the next 60 days. The ATF agent did not give any specifics as to exactly what the cartels were planning. The email reads:
*****
This is almost comical given the fact that the ATF was arming the cartels during Operation Fast and Furious during the Obama years.
I'm guessing the ATF doesn't want the competition?
So we are back to cooking alphabet soup....
ReplyDelete"Gearing up" for a ban of .50 caliber rifles and belt-fed firearms.
ReplyDeleteHow do they know about these straw purchases? Because fast and furious never has been stopped. FYI there are big bore high pressure air rifles that can be purchased without permission. They are not classified as fire arms because no fire. If you chose wisely it can be come with the means to keep it useful in times of scarcity in primers or boom powder.
ReplyDeleteI got myself a .22 one of those. Good for stealth hunting little edible varmints. Accurate, no noise no one knows you're there when the shtf. It'll take down a deer if you beam it in the head. Also bought myself a good crossbow. -sammy

DeleteCheck it out, .75 cal. 700gr. Slug
And like Issa's Fast & Furious hearing, nothing came of it. Same with the IRS Targeting hearing by Chaffetz, Benghazi & Trey Gowdy and the last dog & pony show, the Durham Investigation. It's all theater.

Staying armed in Texas and head on a swivel. Staying away from crowds too. This could really go bad.
ReplyDeleteATF: "Have you sold any .50 caliber weapons or belt-fed machine guns? Are you sure? Maybe we should come in to see you and zerox your A&D books just to be safe."
ReplyDeleteOh yes, I'm sure the cartels go to legal FFLs in Texas for all their firearm needs when they're planning a big operation.
ReplyDeleteThey would if they were working in cahoots with BATFE in an effort to shut down more FFLs. And don't tell me that Biden's alphabet agencies don't have cartel people moonlighting as 'human confidential sources'.
Delete“Oh yes, I'm sure the cartels go to legal FFLs in Texas for all their firearm needs”
DeleteExactly. Why even try in the US when they can go to any Mexican Army depot (which you & I paid to stock) and get their pick of the litter?
These warnings are more bullshit from the Top Men of Bullshit.
the russians used to do a delivery service to the cartels and take cash for just about everything they made. these days with them scrounging from the north koreans for ammo, they just don't have any more spares to sell.
ReplyDeleteJust more bullshit from the illegal, unconstitutional POS fed agency

Because the AnTi-Fun said so? I'll believe it IF I see it. If it's a gubment agency I can't believe a word out of their buttholes!
ReplyDeleteLooks like yet another ATF fishing expedition is priming.
ReplyDeleteIf ya'al haven't seen it yet you should watch "Lord of War." It's a true story about arms smuggling. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHn5nfW3pNw
ReplyDeleteIf the 3 letter gangs are against it...then I am for it.
ReplyDeleteHolder&Co back in Texas?
ReplyDeleteoh, they didn't use the same spokesperson from F&F? Illary must be too busy with yoga..
ReplyDeleteIs there such a thing as a semi-auto belt fed firearm? Because the only way cartels are buying full-auto at American gunstores is if a federal agency is providing immediate NFA clearance, instead of the months of investigation that any law-abiding citizen would get. Unless there's some weapon I have never heard of, and it's somehow more useful in a gunfight than a magazine-fed semi-auto, this is BS.
