Being too tired and achy to do anything else, I present the geniuses of the anti-rights clowns

The statement of support comes shortly after the nation’s largest group for Black gun owners criticized Richardson’s demotion. On Friday, The National African American Gun Association said the leadership changes had “the appearance of being racially motivated and/or politically expedient.” President Biden passed over Richardson twice in favor of nominating White candidates with backgrounds in advocating for strict gun-control measures to be the agency’s permanent director. The additional slight of demoting him only a few months before his time as acting director is set to run out has added an extra layer of outrage which may end up sinking his latest attempt to fill the permanent director role.

The President moved to demote Richardson after he was accused of being too friendly with the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF), a trade group for the gun industry. In March, The New York Times said Richardson appeared to be “an industry-friendly subordinate” who was “pumping the brakes” on President Biden’s plan to more strictly regulate gun companies and dealers. Gun-control group Newtown Action Alliance slammed Richardson for the agency attending the gun industry’s trade show even though it was an agency practice that long predated Richardson’s role as acting director. They applauded the President’s decision to replace him.

BAPLEA pushed back on the criticism that Richardson is too friendly towards the industry. Hester-Davis said Richardson fostered relationships with gun companies because that was the best approach to ensuring compliance and cooperation on investigations into the criminal use of guns.
So: we have an experienced guy who actually built good relationships with the firearms industry, and- for a "I want people of colour in all positions!" a big thing- he's black.  And he gets trashed because instead of someone with said good relationships, Biden & Co. want an anti-gun asshat who'll ignore the law whenever possible to screw the industry and gun owners.

These people are assholes, pure and simple.  They've often demonstrated they think the Constitution is something to be ignored or gotten around in pursuit of what they want, and they've just told black agents they don't give a damn about them.  I'm sure that's gone over well.
