What I want to know is why WOULDN'T you want them to film their tests? Doesn't it seem that if they film it their will be better oversight and less of a chance that they'll manipulate the outcome for their own ends? Vis a vis the Olofson case???

Seems like a no-brainer to document all tests. If somebody is guilty, this is stronger evidence. If he is innocent, then everybody wants to exculpate him.

Every cop in the country has a camera in his cruiser, but the primary firearms regulatory body for the country has no cameras or procedures.
ATF sez:
1. a shoestring is a machine gun.
2. a double barrel shotgun that fires 2 barrels with one pull of the trigger: a machine gun.
Fact, not fiction, folks. Straight from ATF's mouth.

If the ATF disdains the Bill of Rights itself, I doubt a law requiring them to obey the law that requires them to obey the law will make a difference. Defund, disband, prosecute, imprison.
