The BATFEces is the most unprofessional GOATFUCK of an agency I ever saw. Somebody is obviously desperate to justify their job. The BATFEces is the laughing stock of all federal and law enforcement agencies.

The best comments on this:

Remember, folks, we're talking about the people who classified a shoelace as a machine gun. Between that, this, and Olofson, I'm not sure what ISN'T a machine gun anymore.

Is someone trying to justify/protect their job? Looking for fodder for yearly performance reviews? Doesn't know what a toy is? Screwed up thinking the shipment was real guns and instead of looking foolish confiscated them anyway? Something is going on here beyond is visible on the surface.

Watching the ATF is like watching a circus, except all the animals at the ATF are retarded.

On equipment: You get what you inspect, not what you expect.
On training: Our drills are bloodless battles so that our battles are bloody drills.
On tactics: Cheating just means you're serious about winning.
