An anti-gun zealot is about to be put in charge of anti-gun (BATFE) Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives .

[John Lefoot]

I warned you.

I warned you that simply because “we” won the election in November, it didn’t mean the anti-gunners wouldn’t keep trying to steal our rights.

Unfortunately, I was right.

While you and I are focused on the lame-duck Congress and distracted by holiday shopping, President Obama is scheming behind the scenes to make one of his anti-gun Chicago buddies, Andrew Traver, the top gun-cop in the nation.

That’s right. An anti-gun zealot is about to be put in charge of the notoriously anti-gun Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATFE). And Capitol Hill sources tell me it’s going to happen while nobody is looking.

Make no mistake, Andrew Traver is an enemy of liberty and an enemy of gun owners like you and me.

He is:

…opposed to private firearm sales.

…opposed to civilian ownership of semi-automatic rifles and shotguns.

…in favor of banning all gun shows.

…and he even wants the Center for Disease Control to have oversight of the firearms industry!

This is the man that Obama wants to run the most anti-gun federal agency in existence. A man that the Brady Campaign “applauded” for his work on disarming citizens.

Despite being rebuked by the American people on election day, Obama continues to push his anti-gun agenda.

Obama can make a “recess appointment” and commission Traver as a top law enforcement official without a single Senator voting on him.

I’m not going to lie to you, it’s important for Washington to know how you feel about this.

I’m urging you to contact the White House (202-456-1111) and tell them that you oppose the recess appointment – and nomination in general – of Andrew Traver to head the BATFE.
