This is the agency who let straw purchased guns walk across the border, which went directly into the hands of Cartel shooters who killed a US enforcement agent with them.
Dead bodies usually provoke our political processes to make corrective actions - space shuttles or school shootings - but in this case, nothing. It seems that banning one type of ammo is generating more traction in Congress than the loss of our own by the hands of our own.
Something is truly broken in this administration when the Fast and Furious supervisors are shielded and no scapegoats are ever outed. Heads would have rolled with a more conservative Administration, yet, about all we get is Eric Holder to retire with no known connection while certain Departments continue to stonewall every investigative step.
Let's take a different perspective - should we think that these Departments and their employees are 100% dyed in the wool loyalists to this Administration, willing to lay down their careers to protect the political shenanigans they see happening under their nose?
Maybe this "oversight" by the ATF publishing a "ban" before it even existed is less an error as someone throwing a wrench in the works as best they can. And I'll bet dollars to donuts there have been some high stress conversations as to why the wrong version would be sent to the publishers when it's supposed to be proof read and cross checked.
Maybe one too many digital copies in circulation in the upper staff? We see a lot of laws written and passed by Congress the same way, hey, you have to vote for the law to see what's in it?
The Chinese curse of living in interesting times does seem to have it's place.
Anybody else see a pattern here?
