It was a surprise to everyone when BATF Director B. Todd Jones suddenly resigned on Friday, March 20. It is unclear if the agencies failed attempt ban popular 5.56 ammo is the reason for his resignation, his statement simply said he was leaving the agency on March 31 to pursue opportunities in the private sector.
As gun owners celebrate the departure of an obviously anti-gun ATF director the question now becomes who will be his replacement. It is likely that Jones was ousted by the Obama administration because he failed to ban 5.56 ammunition? Obama will likely choose a replacement he believes will have better success at stripping gun rights from the American people.
Before the appointment of Jones the agency went seven years without a full-time leader. It is likely that Obama will return to that model of leadership where temporary puppet leaders are assigned to run the BATF, that way the Senate has no control over the agency.
Gun owners should prepare for an all-out assault on their rights. Be prepared because Obama is not done yet!
