The Firing Line

Disturbing article from the Houston Chronicle

Uploaded on July 02, 2009

I read this and was disturbed by the fact that we have federal agents in my area who can determine what kind of weapons I should have based upon what type of home I own.

Don't get carried away with this. It seems totally okay. The house wasn't even thought of until AFTER the agents decided to visit.

There is no reason in the world for any law-abiding citizen, except an FFL dealer, to buy 4 handguns at one time. She therefore lied on the form stating they were for personal use.

You're kidding, right? The ATF gets to decide what I can buy based on what I need and where I live? Where in the story did it say she was arrested or that she lied? The neighbor said they were "degenerates", I have had a neighbor that I just could not get along with and there is no telling what he would have told an ATF task force in my absence.
