The White House isn’t saying no to the ATF; the Whitehouse is saying yes to People like Larry Pratt’s “Gunrunners of America”.

OK, Pratt’s origination is “Gun Owners of America” but what they DO is run guns. The drug war in the US and Mexico is financed by US citizens through drug sales and small arms sales from “legitimate” gun dealers. I think the National Rifle Association and especially Pratt’s Gun Owners of America are just thin-skinned fronts for international gunrunners and the international drug dealers that benefit from gunrunning.

White House says no to emergency AK-47 regulation

The White House says tracking the bulk sale of high-powered rifles from border states gunshops which legally sell thousands of assault weapons that end up in Mexico each year is not an emergency, and has rejected a request from the U.S. agency that monitors weapons sales to do so without public review.Instead the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives' proposed requirement that firearms dealers near the Mexican border to report multiple purchases of high-powered rifles will undergo a standard, three-month review period, opening it to public comment. 

Pat Sellers is one of our local connections to Larry Pratt:

 Larry Pratt and Coatesville's Pat Sellers

 You might remember Pat Sellers for his “Referendum” designed to protect the “Saha Farm” from eminent domain and as a rigorous campaigner for the infamous “Bloc of Four” Coatesville City Council. Pat Sellers allegedly has a connection to Larry Pratt.

It’s easy to buy a Chinese AK-47 in an American gun shop for about $400.00 and then buy aftermarket products to modify it to fully automatic with a 30 round magazine, flash suppressor, bayonet mount, grenade launcher and night fighting sights. I wonder how many of them are stored on the properties of our local extremists. 

Some other local connections to Larry Pratt are Colin Hanna and the Valley Forge Patriots, Let Freedom Ring, and the Coalition for Advancing Freedom; all of them Christian Nationalist pro-militia groups all of them here in Chester County. Larry Pratt’s followers are not just into alleged gunrunning, there are also right wing extremists among them that could turn into violent domestic terrorists. I believe that Sellers and Hanna and the groups they feed need to be watched, not for what they do but what their followers may decide to do.
