Gunwalker Scandal: ATF Director Out Of Top Job

Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives Acting Director Kenneth Melson is being moved out of the top job at the bureau, ATF special agents in charge announced during an internal conference call today. He will transfer to the Justice Department and assume the position of senior advisor on forensic science, Office of Legal Programs.

The DOJ announced Melson will be replaced by the U.S. Attorney for Minnesota, Todd Jones.

"As a seasoned prosecutor and former military judge advocate, U.S. Attorney Jones is a demonstrated leader who brings a wealth of experience to this position," said Attorney General Eric Holder.

Also, U.S. Attorney for Arizona Dennis Burke has submitted his resignation to President Obama, effective immediately. In an email sent to his staff Tuesday, Burke says his long tenure in public office has been intensely gratifying and intensely demanding.

One of the most hideous actions with direct ties to Eric Holder and the White House and NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT IT!! A blatant scheme to take away gun rights of private citizens. The ONLY thing that seperates us from countries that suffer under dictatorships is our ability to own guns people, and the Obama regime is hellbent on revoking it. WTF up people, this would have brought any other President down!
