The ATF Demonstrates How Not to Handle a Firearm on Twitter (aka X)

[DougC]

A field division of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) received criticism over a photo posted to Twitter showing a potentially unsafe gun fail.'' From the Truth about Guns blog.



A few more comments from the Daily Caller blog sums up the stupids gun safe fails.

Maybe the agent is a pre-op transgender female and doesn't mind the barrel pointing at his nads...since he is ok with destroying them.

The replies to that are pretty great.

Yes, take the time to read the comments in the blog.

Comments are awesome.

I would not have noticed the “ghost gun” had I not read them.

There is at least one communist commenting on TTAG that would report you as fast as it could get its mouth off the glory hole at the DOJ if it thought you were in “violation”

Fail: ATF Leader Tries to Show Ease of Assembling 'Ghost Gun' -- but Can't Put Parts Together

The ATF's Chris Bort tried to show Face the Nation how easy it is to assemble a "ghost gun" but never managed to make the parts fit together.

www.breitbart.com

Chris Bort—the acting chief of the ATF’s Firearms Ammunition Technology Division—struggled at disassembling a Glock style handgun during a made-for-tv scaremongering interview with Steven Dettelbach, the director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms on CBS News.

Here’s a few simple steps that an experienced agent have to know:

1. Eject the magazine
2. Pull back the slide
3.Check that the chamber and magazine well are empty by looking down through the ejection port on the top (where the shell casings fly out)
4.Aim it in a safe direction and pull the trigger while you have your thumb in the magazine well
5. Pull back the slide around 1 cm / 4/10ths of an inch
6. Pull down the two latches above and slightly in front of the trigger
7. Pull the slide forward
8. Compress and remove the spring
9. Slide out the barrel

But then again maybe his experience is more in alcohol and tobacco instead.

I support this technique for all BATFE agents...

Oops. You would have thought he might have tried that a few times so as to not look like a dufus on TV.

Thanks to surevaliance topic contribution above I found the above clip on YouTube and additional comments from another YouTube channel. The entire discussion is full of errors and misleading information to affect and impress the low information voter/non-gun owner. I think the 'experienced agent' doesn't exist at ATF. Just the political correct ones.




No time to watch the video commentary here is a critique of the bumbling lying ATF characters from Truth about Guns blog.

Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) Director Steven Dettelbach and one of the Bureau’s leading firearms “experts” and acting head of the Firearms Ammunition Technology Division (FATD), Chris Bort, appeared on the CBS show, Face the Nation. What was supposed to highlight “deadly weapons” taken off American streets put a spotlight on the lack of knowledge on firearms from the ATF’s top brass.

Thank you, Doug! I corrected description and title.

Meanwhile, one not so “highly trained” and not so “professional” man shows how to do it one-handed!
