The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms is taking a
rare step of allowing public comments prior to issuing a decision on a
study that could result in outlawing certain types of shotguns currently
available to citizens.
The ATF completed a study regarding the importability of
certain shotguns. The basis for a possible ban is based on a loosely
defined “Sporting Purpose” test. Using the vague definition almost all
pump-action and semi-automatic shotguns could be banned as they are all
capable of accepting a magazine, box or tube capable of holding more
than 5 rounds. Other characteristics determined to be “military” by the
ATF can also be used as a basis for a ban.
Ironically, many shotguns with “military” features are
currently being used in shooting competitions held by the USPSA, IDPA
and IPSC. The rules could also result in obscure regulations where an
individual would be unsure if he is violating them or not.
Dudley Brown, Executive Director of Rocky Mountain Gun
Owners, said if the ATF succeeds with the banning of tactical shotguns
it “will be the most dangerous interpretation of the 1968 Gun Control
Act ever envisioned and will outlaw thousands of perfectly legitimate
home defense shotguns.”
The ATF is currently allowing public comments on the study
until the end of the month. Those wishing to express concerns about the
study can send an email to shotgunstudy@atf.gov
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – The CBS 3 I-Team has learned that a Catholic priest who was removed from the ministry over sex abuse allegations now holds a sensitive security post at Philadelphia International Airport.
The security checkpoint between Terminals D and E is a busy place where thousands of people – including lots of kids – pass through every day. But you might not believe who the I-Team observed working as a TSA supervisor at that checkpoint this week: Thomas Harkins.
Until 2002, Harkins was a Catholic priest working at churches across South Jersey. But the Diocese of Camden removed him from ministry because it found he sexually abused two young girls. Now, in a new lawsuit, a third woman is claiming she also is one of Harkins’ victims.
Article continues at link above.
Now in this piece the TSA is saying that they do background checks on their people, but that this persons' record is "too old" for them to uncover the details on. So I suppose if you blew up an airliner back in the 70's, they would miss that too. But we also know from this previous report, that the TSA is actually letting people work without any background check at all. Read about that here:
Stumbled across this old post from my buddy Jack that he posted years ago on a conspiracy forum. Bizarre stuff:
I have had some really strange synchronicities in
the past two days surrounding “What’s the Frequency Kenneth?” I can’t
get it out of my head,
so I looked into it a bit. Now I feel like my brains are scrambled.
Here are some oddities I have noticed as I started digging. First stop,
YouTube. The video itself is filled with all sorts of strobe effects. I
shouldn’t have to tell any serious CT about strobes.
The song is based on a bizarre event which took place on October 4,
1986. Anchorman Dan Rather was approached by two men, while he walked
down Park
Avenue at abou 11 p.m. One of the men attacked him from behind and began beating him, shouting in demand, “Kenneth! What’s
the frequency Kenneth?!!!”
Now let’s skip back to the previous month. Rather had signed off his
newscasts for a week somewhat enigmatically, with the single word
“courage.” That same week in September, Arab extremists had threatened to “become familiar with your skyscrapers and
extend the terror campaign to the United States.” Coincidentally enough, the topic of Dan Rather’s last piece was the 9/11
attacks, and he signed off his final broadcast with that word “courage.”
Anything odd related to Dan Rather specifically linked to the date of September 11? Well, yes there is actually. On September
11, 1987, the year after the “Kenneth” attack, Dan Rather up and
walked off the set leaving the networks scrambling to fill the slot.
There was a full six minutes of dead air. A huge no no for television.
A few months later, Rather publicly assailed then Vice-President, and
frontrunner for the Republican nomination, George H.W. Bush over the
Iran-Contra
scandal during a live on-air interview. It turned out to be a pivotal
point in both of their careers. Rather’s ratings began a steady decline
from
that point on, while many believe this was a pivotal point in Bush’s
successful run for President. The animosity between the anchorman and
the Bush
family was permanent. Neither President Bush has ever granted Dan Rather
another interview.
Dan Rather was also intimately involved with news surrounding
Afghanistan, when it was the Soviets who were invading. The following
article has some
insights there. Obviously I don’t have to point out the connections with
9/11, Afghanistan, and the Bush’s.
Back to the main topic. On the last day of August 1994, the day before September,
a man named William Tager murdered NBC
stagehand Campbell Montgomery outside of the “Today” show studio. The
motivations for the murder take several tracks, but supposedly the
murderer
believed that the media had him under surveillance and were beaming
hostile messages to him. In 1997 a writer for the NY Daily News claimed
to have
solved the mysterious attack on Dan Rather, saying that it had been
William Tager, demanding to “know the frequency,” all those years
earlier. Dan
Rather positively identified the man from a picture.
But apparently there is much more to the story. Read the following…
This article really blew my mind when I found it, because I had a
synchronicity yesterday in relation to the downright bizarre movie “12
Monkeys.”
So, now we have Tager supposedly arriving in New York City on September 1, 1986 from a parallel universe in the twenty-third
century. (Born 2265. Half of 22 is 11.) One day shy of eight years later, on the last day before the month of
September, Tager commits murder. Twenty two days later (11 x 2) R.E.M. releases the single “What’s the
Frequency Kenneth”
Then there is a completely different explanation for the attack on Dan
Rather that is full of its own synchronicities. Notice the word “world”
in
here, I think it’s toward the end. And remember that Dan Rather used to
sign off saying, “…and that’s part of your world tonight."
Now we have the death of Dan Rather’s career over the documents relating
to Bush Jr. and his service in the National Guard. I don’t have to
rehash
that whole scandal, but it seems pretty clear that Rather was set up
with phony documents, that were probably actually telling the truth. The
Bush’s
decided to finally crucify him. Rather broke the story, on September 8, 2004. On September 19, 2007,
Rather filed a lawsuit against CBS. The following article spins him into the land of “bizarre conspiracy” and irrelevance.
