  GOF: When The BATF Pays A Visit
BATF operates under the rationale of requiring you to comply with the law.
I required this of BATF as a federal prosecutor for almost 30 years, and I require it as a private citizen and as a lawyer.
If a BATF special agent, a firearms specialist from BATF's Technology Branch in Washington (part of the criminal enforcement branch), or other criminal law enforcement type is present, this is not an ordinary compliance inspection and you should immediately terminate it, direct the individuals to leave and contact legal counsel.

 Letter to BATF Director Bradley Buckles
As a prerequisite for label approval, BATF should require "alcopop" producers to submit a detailed assessment of the potential impact of the introduction and marketing of their products on underage consumers and their consumption of alcohol.
BATF should develop standards for such "alcoholism and underage-drinking impact assessments" along the lines of "environmental impact statements" required to assess the effects of new construction projects and the like.
In addition to guiding the label approval process and helping BATF impose reasonable standards for product labels, this information would be valuable in assisting health providers, law enforcement agencies, and other public entities to prepare for potential increases in youth alcohol consumption and take actions to counter such increases.

Because BATF's issuance of the letter was limited to fed- eral firearms licensees who had violated federal law in failing to com- ply with firearms trace requests, we must reverse the judgment.
BATF then tracks the movement of the weapon through the chain of distribution to the fed- eral firearms licensee ("FFL") who ultimately sold the firearm to the retail purchaser.
Their primary argument is that BATF's demand letter violates section 926(a)'s prohibitions against the transfer of firearms records to a federal facility and the establishment of "any system of registration of firearms." 18 U.S.C. S 926(a).

 GOF: When The BATF Pays A Visit
I required this of BATF as a federal prosecutor for almost 30 years, and I require it as a private citizen and as a lawyer.
The true job of inspectors is to spot and correct discrepancies in compliance with federal firearms statutes, to establish the qualifications of license applicants, and to enforce and collect the excise tax on the manufacture and importation of firearms.
If a BATF special agent, a firearms specialist from BATF's Technology Branch in Washington (part of the criminal enforcement branch), or other criminal law enforcement type is present, this is not an ordinary compliance inspection and you should immediately terminate it, direct the individuals to leave and contact legal counsel.

 BATF VIOLATES FEDERAL LAW
BATF claimed that it was able to demand the Maryland gun dealer -- as well as any other dealers it determined were not sufficiently responsive to requests to trace transferred firearms -- submit past records and future records as a part of maintaining and operating its Firearms Tracing System.
BATF intended to store the records and collect additional records until it determined the dealer should no longer be subject to such treatment.
The information was portrayed by BATF as necessary to facilitate tracing efforts, but the vast amount of data demanded had nothing to do with bona fide criminal investigations.

 Willkommen bei der BATF
Die BATF ist sogar ein Berufsverband, dem sich ein Trauerredner, ein Redner, eine Rednerin oder eine Trauerrednerin anschließen kann.
Denn die BATF bürgt für eine hohe Qualität einer Begleitung in der Trauer oder in einzelen Trauerphasen.
In der BATF haben sich viele Redner und Rednerinnen angeschlossen, manchmal auch ein Redner und eine Rednerin als Paar - aber aus inhaltlichen Gründen, und manchmal auch aus Gründen der Liebe bis zu ihrem Tod halten sie zusammen, arbeiten zusammen in der Bundesarbeitsgemeinschaft Trauerfeier, die sich um eine weltliche Trauerfeier kümmert.

 CLUELESS: THE MISUSE OF BATF FIREARMS TRACING DATA   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
To the contrary, BATF tracing was designed to provide law enforcement with a quick, easy, low-cost opportunity to trace the history of a particular gun as part of an investigation of a particular crime.
BATF traces and the measurement of skulls both generate a large amount of data, but that data is not scientific evidence upon which criminal justice policy can be based.
But as BATF notes, it is not appropriate to assume that trace data reflect trends for the much larger universe of untraced guns.

After analyzing the evidence regarding assault weapons, the Issue Paper examines the BATF trace data regarding interstate gun-running, and discusses whether the use of trace data to estimate the number of crime guns in a particular jurisdiction which have come from another jurisdiction is likely to be accurate.
The BATF trace figure is no more likely to be an accurate depiction of the actual crime gun picture in New York City than a Batman comic book is to be an accurate depiction of the world of crime-fighting.
Nationally, nearly 80% of BATF gun traces do not involve guns used in violent crime; the traces are for technical violation of gun control laws, such as possession of a firearm without a license.

 WorldNetDaily: BATF raids gun-kit manufacturer
BATF spokesman Tom Mangan told WorldNetDaily that Robert Stewart was arrested Friday for felony possession of firearms after agents found 38 weapons, including machine guns, inside his home.
When asked if the weapons found by the BATF belong to Stewart, Mangan said that remained to be determined, but that the issue was irrelevant because Stewart is a convicted felon and is not supposed to have any weapons at all inside his home.
Gritz said Naomi Stewart told him that the BATF threatened her with a paper allegedly containing her signature, which could serve as evidence that the Stewarts were manufacturing machine guns.

BATF can seek fines against these stores (rather than revoking their FFL), if BATF can prove a violation in a court of law.
As to whether BATF should have sought a fine against Bulls Eye for losing some its inventory, it might be fair to note that the FBI and BATF themselves have, in recent years, lost vast quantities of guns.

 4th Circuit Rules BATF Can Demand FFA Licenses Turn Over Gun Purchaser Info [Free Republic]
Summary: BATF's letter demanding certain record information such as buyer's names and addresses did not violate the Firearms Owners' Protection Act of 1986, 18 USC 926(a), because it was limited to federal firearms licensees who had violated federal law in failing to comply with firearms trace requests.
In February 2000, BATF adopted new internal procedures because some FFLs were not adequately complying with its trace requests.
All BATF would need to claim is they think a buyer could be guilty of violating federal law to demand the info.
