Attorney General Eric Holder and his anti-gun cronies at the Justice Department are starting to realize they may be in some hot water.

But, as was to be expected, they are going to throw someone else under the bus and hope it all goes away

After a revealing week of hearings on the horribly corrupt Project Fast & Furious the BATFEs attempt to create crime in order to make themselves relevant the head of the ATF, Kenneth Melson, is getting ready to take the fall by resigning.

I guess Eric Holder still refuses to take any responsibility and is placing all the blame on his subordinates.

As you now well know, courageous agents within the ATF have been testifying before Congress that senior leadership at both the ATF and the Justice Department forced gun shops to sell firearms to known smugglers who sold the guns to drug cartels in Mexico.

This disastrous plan resulted in multiple federal agents being shot and killed with weapons that were allowed to walk into Mexico.

And this happened even after agents working on the case warned their superiors that it would happen.

The response from ATF/Justice Department leadership?

That a few eggs have to be scrambled to make an omelette.

Now, in light of all this controversy, the acting director of the ATF is trying to take the fall by resigning.

But this is where it gets really shady.

Guess who his replacement is supposed to be?

A man Ive been keeping my eye on for a while Andrew Traver.

You see, Andrew Traver has been an enemy of gun owners for quite some time.

As head of the Chicago division of the ATF he has advocated nearly every gun ban you can think of.

And even some you havent.

To give you an idea, hes been Obamas number one choice to head the agency since last year.

The simple fact is

hes worse than the guy hes replacing.

And whats more is that, because hes been the one Eric Holder wanted for quite some time to step in as the director, it is inconceivable that he was not briefed at some point on Project Fast & Furious.

Theyve been talking about Traver taking the helm of the BATFE for at least 6 months (that I know of).

Do you think that a guy being groomed for that position wouldnt be briefed on the agencys biggest operation?

I think you know where this is going

While it is certainly clear that ATF leadership needs cleaning out, to replace the current director with one who is admittedly anti-gun and clearly involved in what his boss is already in trouble over

Well, thats unacceptable in my book.

I called my Congressman and told him that replacing one leader who has no respect for my rights with another one doesnt fix the problem.

Its an attempt to pacify the public.

They know it, but theyre hoping you dont.

Give them a call and tell them you know what the Justice Department is trying to do and youre not falling for it.

Call your Congressman at (202) 224- 3121 and tell them that the ATF needs a serious overhauling and that the Attorney General needs to be held responsible for this flagrant abuse of the law.

Make sure they know that your Second Amendment rights are more important than funding some rogue Agency Gone Wild.

I know Im going to call everyone I know in politics and make sure this doesnt go unnoticed.

Do the same for me.
