    Default This should go well....

    https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/...cks/901017001/

    WASHINGTON— Federal authorities sought to take back guns from thousands of people the background check system should have blocked from buying weapons because they had criminal records, mental health issues or other problems that would disqualify them.
    A USA TODAY review found that the FBI issued more than 4,000 requests last year for agents from the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco Firearms and Explosives to retrieve guns from prohibited buyers.

    From the article -

    In addition to the public safety risks, the ATF agents tasked with retrieving the banned weapons from unauthorized gun owners across the country are exposed to potentially dangerous confrontations.
    Looks like the propaganda is there. "Banned weapons" was used incorrectly more than once in article. The "weapons" are not banned, the buyer is "not allowed" to buy them.

    The FBI should have to go "retrieve" them. Then again, ATF are better jackbooted thugs.

    Yeah, it's USA Today, the mouthpiece of the Communist Party, so I kind of expected that.

    I would expect the local PDs will be doing the heavy lift on this and no one should be surprised. What a mixed bag this will be. I pray that there isn't another Waco or Ruby Ridge anywhere in the making. What are the odds that the FBI Director or AG Sessions will suit up and join the stack at door?

    They're trying to pass new laws to get funding to get the Federal orgs. that didn't report information on prohibited persons into the NICS. They're looking for more tax dollars to get the government to do the job they used our tax dollars to not do in the first place.

    And probably remove the 72 hour rule to formalize BGCs are a permission slip for 2A.

    There are certain to be cases of misidentification as they confiscate, as there often are with failed/delayed BGCs.

    I can see it developing.
    I don't. After Waco and Ruby Ridge they're a lot more careful to avoid this. Not saying it won't happen, but a lot of lessons were learned through those failures.

    The Feds have been caught lying so many times regarding the Bundy et al trial, that the judge has started to drop charges for those involved one by one.

    One FBI HRT agent even got caught messing with a crime scene where Levoy Finicum was killed by pocketing his brass and then all five HRT hotshots on scene lied to the state investigators by saying none of them fired their weapons in official reports and local police interviews.

    So yeah, theres two recent examples of the Feds being "a lot more careful".

    Your point is well taken IMO, and I would also add that not only have the .GOV been working on what went wrong in those situations. I would also think that those of whom wish to defy .GOV have also been working on the same things. I have no problem admitting that I have spent some time running through the logistics of breach and defense thereof, among other things.

    I'm one dude without that kind of training......and I really do believe that there are some groups of folks in our country that really have their sheet together, and are a lot more prepared than "authority" has anticipated or accounted for. Maybe I'm wrong, it's a gut feeling.
