ATF Paid Notice in WSJ

So, the ATF recently posted a three-page paid notice listing stolen guns, in hopes (right!) of returning them to their owners.

A public notice such as that, of course, satisfies the legal requirement. I am actually surprised they chose the WSJ and not, for example, the Berkley Shopping News, or some such rag even less likely to attract the notice of gun owners looking to get their property back. Maybe the Seattle Times...

Anyway, David Codrea has posted the entire list at his place.

We received notice last week that ATF posted a three-page "Seized Property Notice" ad in The Wall Street Journal on May 7. These are firearms that
are likely stolen and should be returned to owners.

Because our government will not, I have posted the entire notice online. Please share this link, post on gun forums, email to your lists, send to gun bloggers, etc.

Most gun owners don't even know about this--and that seems intentional. ATF is doing the bare minimum to comply.

This information appears nowhere else--for now. Please help change that by spreading it far and wide.
