ATF Director resigns after failed attempt at banning AR-15 ammunition
Washington Times
Thumpety-thump goes the Obama administration bus over another one of its officials.
from Washington Times:
B. Todd Jones, the director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, announced he is stepping down Friday after nearly four years on the job.
His announcement comes following a controversial ATF proposal to ban certain bullets that could pierce bullet-proof vests and be fired from an AR-15 rifle. But public outcry and Congressional pressure led the agency to abandon its efforts.
“ATF employees are hard-working, dedicated individuals who serve the public to make our nation safer every day,” Mr. Jones said in a statement. “I have seen firsthand their extraordinary commitment to combating violent crime, ridding the streets of criminals, and leveraging all available resources to keep our communities safe.”
Good riddance, but I doubt this means a better ATF. Obama seems to have binders full of insane leftists ready to fill any position.
