ATF HAS HAD NO DIRECTOR FOR 7 YEARS!! Blocked by Republicans

We now have people dead in Boston and the ATF are the ones to investigate.  The NRA and Republicans have blocked the ATF director since 2006 - Blocking is shameful.  The Boston Bombing proves the ATF needs a director and additional funding, not cuts.  REPUBLICANS:  QUIT BLOCKING THE ATF DIRECTOR FOR THE NRA!


The NRA also routinely blocks efforts to appoint a permanent ATF director. According to a report by the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence, there has not been a full-fledged ATF director since 2006, when Congress, at the behest of the NRA, changed federal law to require ATF directors to be confirmed by the Senate. Since 2006, the post has been held by a series of acting and interim directors.
As the Brady Center notes, "without a leader, ATF's ability to stop gun trafficking by corrupt gun dealers is significantly curtailed.
