The Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco Firearms and Explosives (ATF) has been trying to get the authority to force gun stores in states on the Mexico border to record information on people who buy two or more semi-automatic rifles withing five days. I’m sure I don’t have to tell you that this is pure bullshit but I do have to tell the ATF. Luckily they’re open for comments on the subject but only until February 14th. Send your comments on the subject to:

Let them know how much you appreciate them overstepping their authority and trying to blame somebody else for their likely actions of smuggling guns across the Mexico border.
