In a little-watched Sunday political infomercial announcing a rare openly-partisan line from a putative law enforcement agency, ATF Deputy Director Thomas Brandon told CBS News correspondent Richard Schlesinger that the agency demands more gun control laws, especially a confiscation-enabling gun registry.
The point of the show seemed to be that Brandon and the ATF, like Schlesinger and CBS, are campaigning for gun control and for pro-gun-control politicians this election year.
“We’re a small agency with a big job,” Brandon tells correspondent Richard Schlesinger, in an interview to be broadcast Sunday, July 31.
Brandon also says his agency is hampered by not having the necessary technology. Congress has imposed constraints on ATF, such as prohibiting the agency from creating a computerized database of gun purchases.
Yet, Brandon says, not having the database hurts. Indeed, after the San Bernardino shootings, it took 12 hours to find out who owned the guns used in the attack. He says a computer database would have helped, and adds that not having one simply doesn’t make sense.
“There’s a lot of things that don’t make sense in this town, you know?” Brandon tells Schlesinger. “And, so, yeah, would it be efficient and effective? Absolutely. Would the taxpayers benefit with public safety? Absolutely. Are we allowed to do it? No.”
Brandon complained that it took the ATF 12 hours to track the weapons used by the San Bernardino shooter (who was, at the time, dead); time that wouldn’t be “wasted” when they could have been door-kicking and gun-grabbing right away. But they’re lacking the vital and necessary roster of The Usual Suspects.
Given their history — and Brandon’s in particular — do you think they will be focusing their list management and raiding practices on the Islamic terrorists that they haven’t ever pursued once, yet?
Yeah, us neither.
Brandon schooled Schlesinger on the ATF’s new euphemisms: the reporter shouldn’t say that ATF wants to take firearms away from people, just say they want to “regulate dangerous weapons that can be misused.”
Thousands of Mexican criminals, of course, have (and misuse!) dangerous weapons provided by ATF with Brandon’s knowledge and support, and hundreds of lives have been taken by them, including other Federal agents. No ATF employee was ever investigated, except for the whistleblowers who revealed the “gunwalking” programs. Brandon’s answer? More power to the lawless agents that produced these homicides.
Some criminal in the upper midwest is still running around with the selective-fire M4 that an ATF agent left in his G-ride while doing the horizontal bop with another ATF agent, unbeknownst to either’s spouse. No ATF employee was ever investigated on that case, either. Brandon’s answer? More power to the lawless agents that released that firearm into the wild.
And, of course, a more adversarial, punitive, and abusive relationship with the nation’s peaceable gun owners. In Brandon’s world, that’s not a bug, it’s a feature.
And, of course, more power for the anti-gun politicians that CBS, Schlesinger, Brandon and ATF are campaigning for.
But hey, they don’t want to confiscate your weapons. Just regulate them away from you. Because otherwise, they might be misused. See, it’s all for your own good.
Update
By the way, Brandon was also the Cover-Up King of Operation Gunwalker, according to ineffectual former director Byron T. Jones:
According to outgoing Director Jones’s sworn testimony of April 2, 2014 before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, Mr. Brandon was the person who determined disciplinary punishments for all of the ATF personnel involved in Fast and Furious. Brandon was “the ultimate decision maker.” Director Jones confirmed that Thomas Brandon did not fire a single person for participation in Fast and Furious.
The 471 page Justice Department Inspector General Report by Michael E. Horowitz recommended disciplinary action be considered for 14 federal officials….
Brandon intervened, to make sure that none was seriously disciplined. Instead, most have since been promoted (one was allowed to take a job in the private sector and still draw his ATF salary, bonus and benefits for a year while doing it. Brandon personally signed off on that). Now he’s using the imprimatur of the agency, and the bully pulpit of CBS, to campaign for gun control and for politicians that support it.
Sure, Federal Agents are supposed to obey the law, but no one’s ever expected him to, before, so why would he start now?
I’ll be sure and get right on that. Other people’s money and sweat, as usual? Lord above grant that I get to see the day this breaks. I really don’t have a very good idea of what all I can do to help but I’m sure as hell going to try.
Why indeed should that griinnin moron start obeying the law now, when he’s on the cusp of getting what his heart desires – a fully complaisant regime to enable him to REALLY make sure none of us “misuses” our firearms. Go ahead and demand your registry, bitch; as long as you’re number one in the stack, boomin the first door.
P’raps someone should send him a link to Matt Bracken’s “Dear Mr Security Agent”.
Go ahead bitch, prepare to reap what you are sowing.
Unrelated but yet similar, I recall reading a story from a lady who had been in a concentration camp with Anne Frank. When the call to came for registration of the Jews after occupation she did not, knowing what the only reason for it would be. She chastised all who did. She lived freely until just to the end of the war when she was turned in by a neighbor and collaborator.
And, when the rope is going around this apparatchik’s neck, and his feet go all dangley-dangley, he is no doubt going to be all confused about why nobody in the surrounding crowd is stepping up to stop the nightmare he’s starring in.
I fear that the only way to stop this constant and consistent over-step of the boundaries by these unelected untouchables is going to be something really nasty for all involved. And, since they seem to be oblivious to the likely end-state they are helping bring about, it is almost inevitable. I do wonder what the tipping-point will be, the modern equivalent to Concord. Likely, something very much out of the deep field…
“And, so, yeah, would it be efficient and effective? Absolutely. Would the taxpayers benefit with public safety?”
They have their records, what they want is to be able to enter these all in a database allowing for faster lookup of course. But more importantly being able to digitize these data sets then allows for data mining and linking this ATF list with other state and privately sourced data. Allowing them to look for patterns and ask questions like ‘list people who have made the most firearm purchases in the last year; list people who made firearm purchases and who make frequent transactions from vendors x, y and z; list people who made firearm purchases and also access websites i, j and k; list people who made firearm purchases and send/receive emails from addresses a, b, and c;
This kind of state investigating and tracking was the topic of a recent post in this blog a few days back – just like what CTU used to do, in between all the shooting of baddies, that is to say.
And no one at CBS goes on to the follow up question, *exactly* how would this activity have provided for increased public safety? They had all they needed to know about the San Bernadino actors before the attack, and yet they did nothing. Same for Boston, they already knew about these jihadis, they were even warned by the Russians, and yet they did nothing.
Meanwhile they are in the back offices diligently working to purge the terms jihad, islam, mohamed etc. from all their procedure and training manuals. That work was deemed important.
So aside from all of this, none of it really matters, but they still want their data processing ability anyway. This is critical, because, state.
“Absolutely. Are we allowed to do it? No.”
I follow the law, why shouldn’t you?
“They had all they needed to know about the San Bernadino actors before the attack, and yet they did nothing. Same for Boston, they already knew about these jihadis, they were even warned by the Russians, and yet they did nothing.”
Not to mention investigating the Orlando killer TWICE and finding him not worthy of suspicion. But my AR-15 is the real problem here.
We have given bureaucratic cops like Brandon oodles of power over the last 15 years, and shredded our privacy and freedoms in the process. What do we get out of the other end? Political correctness and dead Bay Staters, Californians and Floridians. And Brandon on TV asking for more of our freedoms.
This stuff chaps my hide.

***There’s a lot of things that don’t make sense in this town, you know?” Brandon tells Schlesinger. “And, so, yeah, would it be efficient and effective? Absolutely. Would the taxpayers benefit with public safety? Absolutely. Are we allowed to do it? No.”***
I suspect it’ll again fall to the Army to deal with this problem, just as it did back in October ’46:
***but, but… I was only following orders….***
Sadly the US Army is “only following orders™” as well. Their oath (“foreign and domestic) not withstanding. Hognose laid out the why some time ago.
I doubt external powers are coming to rescue the US of A from themselves as was done with the axis in ww2. Who should or could do it? Only chance would be when enough of the people stand up, but the population is decepted by “black lives matter” or “pro-choice pro-life” and whatever else issues are put on the agenda to distract from what actually is going on.
Yep,
Why aren’t the enemies of our country hung as they mouth this treason or at least thrown into a gulag somewhere to die slowly? Along with any lawyer who deems him/herself worthy to stand beside such a pos.
Probably because we have become a nation of cowards who expect Others to stand up for our rights.
Even commenting these days with something that doesn’t parrot the PC crap of the liberal elites r the MSM will get one censored.
Umm.. because the enemies of your country are in charge of your country?
You all DO know what ATF stands for right? “Always Think Forfeiture” – They actually ordered a bunch of leatherman tools with that inscription on them for their newly graduating recruits until a Congresscritter learned of it and they had to cancel the order. True story, look it up!
Unfortunately I’ve recently had a run-in with an ATF agent myself. Now lawyered up after 4k to a federally approved lawyer. I didn’t do anything wrong or have anything illegal, but try telling that to a fed agent with absolutely nothing to lose in regards to violating your rights. ATF needs to go the same route as the airport nazis and the veterans kill facility workers – poof!
I absolutely love my country, but this fed.gov shit has got to mellow out or they’re going to end up starting a civil war – where nobody really ends up winning.

Expect “Domestic Terrorism” to take center stage in an HRC administration.
If they can provoke and armed insurrection TPTB are confident that between the information the NSA can provide and a militarized police that it can be quickly suppressed and provide an excellent excuse to impose an overtly totalitarian government.
( It is still covert, to a degree)
They are inviting chaos and think they can control it.
Idiocy, it’s not a lone ranger with an AR15 or even a thousand with AR15’s that’s going to bring Murphy incarnate to our shores.
It will be a pissed off techie from an internet cafe’ using a laptop they paid cash for to bring down the grid.
” They are inviting chaos and think they can control it.”
Hey, it worked great in foreign countries, why shouldn’t it at home? It is what they have been doing for decades.
(consumer notice: may contain traces of cynicism)
Bringing down the grid isn’t all that hard. I currently work for a power distribution company and we get our power from a nuclear power plant. What worries me is the techie that backfeeds into the nuke plant and causes it to scram or worse. Hell, just overloading several of our distribution stations could take months or years to get back online. But the power generation facility going foom IS the nightmare.
Heck at this point, an EMP would take us out pretty severely and we are all aware how the North Koreans dream of that capability – someday they may have it if they don’t already and just need a delivery mechanism.
I keep saying the wurm is turning faster and faster….
And of course you all know they will track web sites like these run by subversives like Hognose and everybody who posts here right?
Well…that will make things clear and simple, won’t it?
Yup.

I guess they just want the ‘official’ nod so they can tell that GAO inspector to go to HELL.
And then there’s the registry the Navy runs for the ATF so the ATF doesn’t have to, but that’s another story entirely. Because it’s not an LE database they use parallel construction to use data from it, which is to say, they perjure themselves.
Hognose, it’s not perjury, It’s “Testilying”.
The ends justify the means.
It is one of the components among a far ranging full court press to disarmament of Americans.
It is as if the fix was already in, the political class knows it, and is acting in preparation of installation of a presumed and radically avowed anti gun next POTUS and her regime.
So many of these federal apparatchiks go back to so many anti gun anti militia anti primal liberty events with the Clinton regime #1, they have had some what of a decade to refine and tune their SOP’s and MOS’s. Such as the recent executive order pertaining to machine work on firearms. It is quite an impressive and sophisticated piece of kubaki diktat. The vagueness and parching of requirements took considerable technical and cultural skill to compose. No loopholes for us, but every loop hole imaginable for them. Cunning and crafty piece of work.
Would it be indicative in itself how prepared, and the prepositioning of disarmament orientated operatives, in the advent of Clinton regime #2, how timely and convenient such developments are?
Is parallel construction literally perjury? Can prosecutors not mention the source? Is a lie by omission perjury? Any lawyer or judge willing to push that?
I’d say it is, because they present an entirely false narrative about how they developed the evidence. But IANAL. Lawyers have a graduate education in lying about anything, and the main run of them care only about winning. Most of them have no better integrity than the cons.
If they think they can control an insurrection, just look at the number of people killed by the three shooters in Dallas, Orlando and Baton Rouge. The killer in Dallas tied up the entire town for days and that was just one a–hole with an AR. It will take very few individuals across the country to cause the system to grind to a stop. With normal commerce tied up for just a couple of weeks, bankruptcy would begin across the entire US. Supply chains would be disrupted, resulting in food shortage, etc. If you add in some infrastructure damage like the Metcalf Transmission Substation attack and serious disorder begins. They are playing with matches, but when has it ever not worked out for them? HRC just got no-billed on an intelligence leak that would have any of us in jail. Why not push it and roll the dice one more time?
I thought the Dallas shooter was confirmed to have used an SKS?
It was initially reported as an SKS, but it was some kind of AK-74 clone.
-John M.
I thought it ended up being a TAVOR ?
There were pictures of a 5.45mm AK. The SKS story was started by a fabrication from a TV reporter — forget if it was CNN or CBS.
What do you think the insurrectionists will do when .gov starts drone striking their positions?
Everybody got worked up when Trump suggested killing the families of terrorists. Don’t think those same people aren’t ready to kill your family.
-John M.
We haven’t seen really smart or dedicated “insurrectionists” as of yet; the not-so-bright-lights of the 1990s militia movement were simply the canaries in the coal mines. When the moment comes, and the statists create their Concord moment, it’s going to come like a bolt from the blue, and even the people who are going to be in the leading edge of that wave of violence won’t realize they’ve been pushed too far… Until they have. And, then what ensues, just like at Concord, will be entirely unpredictable.
Gentleman of my acquaintance had :”issues” with his neighbor. Neighbor was an utter asshole, constantly causing problems around him, petty bullshit and harassment. Came a day, my acquaintance observes this neighbor calling over one of his beloved working dogs, thinking he wasn’t being observed, and offered the dog a treat and a pat on the head. Then, he shot the dog in the head.
Nobody’s seen the asshole since. The cops showed up, asked questions, and my acquaintance just smiled gently, and said he had no idea what had happened to the man. I don’t have any idea, either, but I do know that my acquaintance had/has intimate knowledge of every single disused mine shaft in the area, and odds are pretty good that the asshole who shot his dog is at the bottom of one. I don’t know anything at all past hearsay, and I don’t want to know, either, but… I am pretty sure that I know what probably happened, and I’m pretty sure that even my acquaintance had no idea what he was capable of. Right up until it happened.
When the moment comes, it’s going to be like that. All that we can do, ahead of time, is note that they’re setting the conditions, and observe that things are ripening for a harvest nobody can predict. The Bundy types are only precursors, warning signs that the elites have lost the loyalties of the non-elites, and that the Mandate of Heaven is very close to being revoked. Once the Mandate is withdrawn, I would highly recommend that the various minions of men like Mr. Brandon be very careful of which side they pick. Picking the wrong side will mean that some really bad things will likely happen to those they care about. Not to mention, to them personally.
I don’t think the various Federal alphabet agencies have really thought out what happens after they antagonize and alienate the people they have to live amongst. The FBI Hostage Rescue Team can go back to Virginia, and remain insulated against repercussions. The local field agents? Not so much. The way things are going, I think a growth industry for the future would be building secure compounds for the various alphabet agencies to maintain their families in, because the moment is coming when we all wake up one day and realize that we’re no longer being governed by our peers, but managed by our “betters”. The awakening that follows that realization won’t be pretty for the wannabe “betters”, or their dependents.
Such compounds already exist; they can use the barracks space/housing vacated by those troops who will pick the “other” side.
Yeah HRT can go back to Quantico but there’s LOTS of “country” around there too. They’ll likely have to “commute” by helo – and that has it’s own drawbacks.
‘We haven’t seen really smart or dedicated “insurrectionists” as of yet…’
Oh, agreed. But that also means that we haven’t seen .gov get really serious about suppressing the insurrection yet. Some lefties get worked up over dropping the bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki because little brown people are currently fashionable (and because the Comintern told them to oppose the US nuclear program). Few get worked up over the firebombing in Dresden, and NOT ONE of them would give two hoots if they were told the story of Sherman’s March to the Sea.
Perhaps our best hope at this point is that our Ruling Class doesn’t produce many men of the quality of Sherman anymore. And to the extent that they do, they don’t choose the military or law enforcement for careers. But the Ruling Class has plenty of robots to do their killing for them. (Anwar Al-Awlaki won’t respond for requests to comment on this.)
‘The Bundy types are only precursors…’
I sort of wonder if the Bundy/Oregon stuff of late isn’t some sort of John Brown’s Raid for our time. I think Trump’s impending election may forestall this a bit, but who knows how the Ruling Class will respond to that, or the gang member/pinko foot soldiers on the street. Or what the blowback from Trump will be in 2024.
-John M.
Nice cops. I’m sure that in say, Germany, the acquaintance would be hauled into an interview room and kept there till he confesses.
Only if said cops have reasons to suspect him beyond “he’s a neighbor.” From the sounds of this fellow’s charms, I’d guess that the list of people with “motive” to whack him is probably long.
Who knows, maybe he’s charming enough that the cops just aren’t looking for him all that hard. [shrug] “We’re treating it as a missing person case at this time.”
-John M.
I suspect they don’t even think of it as rolling the dice.
They are outlawing people with guns here, not confiscation of guns per say. It is the whole point. It is the outlawing of owning and use of property. Because that is what a gun is, property. It is the first thing. It is everything.
Our arms are only as effective as the will to use them in defense of our property, lives, and freedoms. So I see it as they are creating a dilemma, a Catch 22 so to speak. It would be civil suicide to directly confiscate everyones guns. So outlaw everything around everyones guns, hit people from as many directions as possible. Local, County, State, Federal levels. Isolate people and their primal rights. Then you can pick them off piecemeal or Kulak the fuck out of any group or culture.
Basically how totalitarianism is employed. Make as many people as afraid as possible, get the useful dupes and ignorant, the ones with their finger in the wind to comply and or submit, then the rest who are not afraid and are defiant, and the resisters, stick out like a sore thumb, no popular support, except grass roots, which the media handles and hides or turns into radical monsters, making the subservient even more pliable, and you have carte blanc to do whatever you want to go after them.

It’s time to completely defund and disband the ATF. It’s a rogue agency that has gone power hungry. They write opinions and enforce those opinions as law at gunpoint. In case they’ve forgotten, Congress makes law, Senate passes law, President signs law and SCOTUS determines constitutionality and upholds the law.
And that, my friends, is what an “agent provocateur” looks like in print.

I am always amazed by both govt regulators and jihadis on how limited their horizons are. They are really made for each other. Govt regulators and law enforcement cannot or will not deal with these nutcases so the pick on normal law abiding citizens to control, because they can—so far.
Jihadis pick a show for psychological effect. 9-11 aircraft, shooting incidents, that kind of thing. Paralyze ones enemy with fear. FLEAS run around and cause a fuss but security noes not get better. But control and intimidation of citizens does increase. So now citizens have two enemies to deal with.
The one thing that govt does not think about is that it is a veddy veddy bad thing to pi$$ off engineers and scientists. They like to create and build things for people. But pi$$ them off enough and they can take a city or secure compound and turn off the water, electricity, comm, and transport, and things do not look so rosy. Just sayin’
