Since then, he has risen through the agency hierarchy, all the while making friends of notorious Illinois anti-firearm rights politicians of both parties. He has had personal friendly contact with Barack Obama and Hizzonor, the King of Chicago Richard Daley. He has worked with the virulently anti-firearm Joyce Foundation and the IACP, putting his efforts and his name to a report which calls for more firearm bans and regulations that amount to the gutting of the Second Amendment.<\/p>\n<p>Traver is, then, an extremely politically well-connected, anti-firearm, pro-citizen-disarmament zealot. He may be a nice guy, but he is an enemy of the Founders&#8217; Republic and the Constitution they wrote.<\/p>\n<p>And if he checks out to be &#8220;confirmable,&#8221; he will be the next jefe supremo of the federal gun cops. No wonder Mayor Daley has been wearing that &#8220;I&#8217;ve-got-a-secret&#8221; shit-eating grin since the McDonald decision. Screw the Supreme Court. The Chicago gang is fixing to take over THE Gang.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\nH\/T The War On Guns<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is Andy Traver slated to be the next Director of the BATFE?
