Obama Administration blames veterans for criminal "crises" (0.00 / 0)
Nothing is more idiotic than the current Justice Department, and Eric Holder of course.  Read this in entirety, esp the very bottom of the article itself.  How pathetic that anecdotal info of crimes by vets (without formal, analytical data) are the impetus for yet another federal agency -- while the DOD faces huge cuts.

Another 4 years??  Considering this, and notional TriCare cost increases, and slashing the military (while federal jobs increased by over 130,000 since 2009), diminishing troops in the field, etc..... active duty and veterans can't handle another 4 years.


Well (0.00 / 0)

Is the ATF milking a scandal that it is largely responsible for to push for more stringent gun control? For that matter, is the Justice Department?

Good old excessive gun control: The stuff that Fascist and Communist regimes are made of.
