I was and am very unimpressed (to say the least) with the work of DIA.
DIA staff's lack of competency and predetermined bias was both surprising and disappointing.
You make think DIA will be better than Police regarding management & administration of firearms regulation and law & I hope they will be but I am fearful that they won't be.
I am fearful that the transfer will be another opportunity for the anti-gun lobby to get their hands on the reins of power which won't be good for us.

Remember the path to Hell is paved with good intentions

TeRei made a good point in a previous post: Just like the seperation of powers in Government it is necessary for gun rights to be removed from the police who have assumed a role of judge and executioner.
