Targeted
Max Motors had a gun giveaway. Buy a car, get an AK47. ATF agents showed and were shown that it was lawful because customers were given a voucher for the gun and not a gun. And he was harassed by his bank and GM. And:
The next day, Muller received a call from the ATF asking him to come in for a meeting with all of his personal guns, which they insisted they had to authority to order, he said. Muller held his ground and refused to submit to the audit without first going through due process.
“The ATF people were just as nice as can be. They were not mean or hateful—and finally I asked the lady on the phone: Don’t you have something better to do?” he said. He then re-explained that there were vouchers for guns and that no guns were being given away.
“She said: ‘Let me tell you how important this is, the White House started their morning with a briefing on you. We got a call from Washington, D.C. this morning. They wanted you checked out,” he said.
The White House doesn’t have anything better to do?

“The White House doesn’t have anything better to do?”
That would have been my next question/statement of irony to her.

The White House was afraid he was going to steal some of their “giving guns away” market share.

My my.. Really moving up in the world aren’t we…

So the White House is micro managing this?
But they had “No Idea” what was going on in Fast & Furious?

A perfect example of the “Do as I say, not as I do” and “I can’t break the law because I make the law” mentality that is so common on the hill. The ATF is rampant with manipulating their own rules to suit their needs and should be reigned in immediately. It is a worthless cancerous growth which is exactly why they fall under the Dept of the Treasury. Watch this one carefully folks, someone is about to have serious civil rights violations committed against them in the name of “National Security” or some other punch line. Due Process won’t exist. Just like Mad Saint Jack said… There is complete, ready to pounce, oversight on this, yet no one quite knows what happened with Fast and Furious.

Shouldn’t the ATF be running guns to Mexico or something…

The White House, eh? So Obama IS behind “Gunwalker” and “Fast and Furious”!

Of course they want to seize his guns … they are having problems buying more firearms to send to Mexican narco-thugs these days.

The only reason the White House called is the fact that the Vouchers are in Dollars, not Pesos.

Boy are the White House priorities massively screwed-up.

So, giving guns away is a government function and they do not want competition?

Maybe they were just concerned that he doesn’t display proper trigger finger discipline in his photo. Something doesn’t look quite right about his mouth, either.

What do you want to bet that OnStar is recording everything from every vehicle?
By the way, why do people buy cars with built in surveillance systems?

I sure hope the can certify the wood furniture on those AK’s weren’t laquered or shaped in America. The last thing he needs now is a visit from the Fish and Wildlife agency.

That lady from the ATF is one of the ones I’d keep. She just did something important for the country, right there. From a civil service point of view (“career ender”), it took a lot of courage — what in my old department we used to call “cast iron ovaries.”

Check out yo momma!!!

I know it’s late, but the reply should have been: “We’re giving them away as Fast and Furious as we can, and miss, if you can underline Fast and Furious when you hand it back up the chain, I would appreciate that.”
