Back again? So soon?

One of the luxuries of an infrequent blogger is going weeks without blogging a single word.

It seems, though, that I've picked up one something that might turn into a full-time blogging event.

Where in the World is the BATF?

Yes, here we are for another installment in CZ the Day's look at those boys and girls in jackboots. Or, we WOULD be looking at them, if they were doing something about crime. Instead they are usually found trying to shut down a law-abiding license holder over abbreviating "street" as "st." as 99.99999914% of the nation does, including EVERY government agency.

This time around there's more gangbangers and guns. The irony is that one of those gangbangers was also the founder of ... you are gonna LOVE this!...

AN ANTI-GUN GROUP!

As Fits says, you can't make this stuff up! And if you did they networks would never use it as plot lines for TV cop shows. Not because it's unbelievable. They would avoid doing it because it would point out the utter stupidity, hypocrisy and general suck present in ALL the anti-gun movement.

Founder of Anti-Gun Group Pleads No Contest to Weapons Charges

Hector "Big Weasel" Marroquin, 51, and co-defendant Sylvia Arrellano, 25, entered pleas Thursday for three counts of manufacture, distribution and transport for sale of an unlawful assault weapon.

Arrellano also pleaded no contest to machine gun conversion and possessing a silencer and acknowledged that the crime was committed for the benefit of a criminal street gang.

She was given until Tuesday to surrender for sentencing and would likely be sentenced to four years in prison, prosecutors said.

Hold the PHONE, Mabel! 'Likely be sentenced to four years'? For manufacture, DISTRIBUTION and transport of an unlawful assault weapon? Not just owning, mind you. DISTRIBUTION, as in SELLING or PASSING ON TO OTHER GANG MEMBERS.

Y'all recall a guy who the Feds decided to charge for the mere POSSESSION of a fully automatic weapon that he basically built himself? He never passed it to anyone. His sentence was 6 1/2 years. His name is Wayne Fincher.

Now, can anyone tell me why this gangbanger bimbo is getting a lighter sentence? Especially since I'd put ten bucks on her having prior arrests and convictions for felonies?

So, what about her co-defendant. "Big Weasel"?

Marroquin founded No Guns in 1996, ostensibly to reduce gang and gun violence. The group received $1.5 million from the city as a subcontractor on anti-gang efforts but its contract was canceled last year after authorities learned that Marroquin had hired relatives, including his son, Hector "Little Weasel" Marroquin.

The son is an acknowledged 18th Street gang member who pleaded no contest in June 2007 to home-invasion robbery and was sentenced to nine years in state prison.

Yes, you read right, people. California tax payers gave "Big Weasel" 1.5 MILLION to go out and build fully automatic firearms and silencers.

Anyone want to open up a Cafe Pres store with t-shirts saying "My State Government Gave A Gangbanger 1.5 Million Dollars To Build Assault Weapons And All I Got Was This Lousy T-shirt!"

But let's not forget, this post ties back to our new blog segment.

Where in the World is the BATF?

While the BATF goes out and gets Wayne Fincher put in prison for 6.5 years why aren't they coming down with both jackboots on Big Weasel, Little Weasel and Sylvia Suxaweasel? Why aren't they getting extensive prison time for these folks for having a silencer without paying the tax? For possessing an unregistered fully automatic weapon AND transferring it without federal approval!

You do that and you'll be looking at 25 to life for "conspiracy". The Weasels are gonna be back to breaking into homes before they need to shave.

Where in the World is the BATF?

Why the unequal enforcement? What happened to "equal protection"? Why are the OVERWHELMING MAJORITY of the BATFs assaults on liberty aimed at white people? Why is it that as soon as someone's name has a rolling R the BATF evaporates faster than ether on a hot manifold?

It's clearly discrimination. It's clearly racism. It's clearly unconstitutional on 3-7 amendments.

Introducing a new segment

There are criminals using guns. There are guns being used by criminals.

Those weapons are almost never purchased legally. Billy B. Badboy doesn't call up his local gun dealer and order his GangBanger2008 off the shelf.

For one thing criminals don't pay retail or sales tax. Why should they? It's cheaper to buy a gun grabbed by burglars swapped for crack or meth to a dealer.

What's very, very, very curious about this is that when these sorts of transactions occur the myriad of gun laws affecting interstate commerce, weapons transfer, barrel length or stock length is never used. You have to ask why the BATF is spending all of their time trying to bust law-abiding gun dealers making human errors. If they went after real criminals they might actually prevent a real crime or two. Someday.

For that reason I'm introducing a new segment to this blog.

Where in the World is the BATF?

Our inaugural entry comes to us through ABC news.

YouTube Taunt Results in Weapons Arrest

"Alleged Gang Members Arrested After Taunting Cops in Online Video"

Sounds good so far, doesn't it? These gangbangers make a video taunting cops. The BATF sees the video and sweeps in and makes arrests. Right?

Well...

"ICE agents made the arrests as part of their involvement in a Miami Dade gang task force. Both men are being held in Miami-Dade County jail."

ICE? ICE? What? None of those heroes who shot at little girls in Waco? None of those heroes who burned little girls to death in Waco from that other lettered agency. The one that lied to Congress. The FBI.

Both of these agencies who were so in love with using violence to keep Randy Weaver's child from living and the Branch Davidians from freedom of religion weren't involved in this case? How strange.

Now, I'll admit, that's not the only strange omission from the news coverage. Such as the reason why ICE was involved at all. Aren't they only involved in control of immigrants, usually those who shouldn't be here in the first place? ABC conveniently dodges any question of the legal status of one Rudy Villanueva or why this multiple time loser felon is still inside U.S. borders.

But more importantly for this new blog segment...

Where in the World is the BATF?

Why didn't those brave jackboots who spend so much of their time trying to shut down law-abiding firearms dealers rush right out to confront these two people who shouldn't have guns?

Why isn't the BATF looking for the intermediaries who supplied these gang bangers with weapons? Why aren't they filing conspiracy charges against THEM as they so often have against legitimate, law-abiding citizens who pay taxes?

Speaking of which why aren't drug dealers ever sentenced to additional time for not paying sales tax to the government? Someone handling several thousand dollars a day in merchandise should be owing their local city, county and state a BUTTLOAD of money every week.

"Hey, you did your ten years for trafficking in crack. Now you are gonna spend fifty years for tax evasion."

THAT would put a real crimp in the drug trade. Then you can get OSHA involved with filing against the holdings of pimps for the working conditions of their employees.

We have an entire panoply of federal agencies which can and do harass the law-abiding. Why is it when it comes to street crime these laws are never enforced? They would substantially add to the time being served among the criminals.

The thing I never want to hear is "There's nothing we can do" when referring to gangs.

Tell the truth. "There's nothing we WANT to do."

That's why the BATF wasn't there with ICE or there before them.

They don't WANT to take down real criminals. They ONLY want to harass the law-abiding. That is their only real reason to exist.
