It all started with this. Nothing really unusual here, just Daddy Bloombucks’ Everytown doing what they’re paid to do…attempting to stir up their low-information red-shirted wine-swilling membership in the run-up to the midterms. The goal is to elect more “gun sense” candidates that will be reliable automatons, voting to reduce your gun rights and outlaw America’s most popular firearms.
Because “gun safety.” Or something. Just another day ending in ‘y.’
Anyway, that’s when Evertown’s chief flack — Max Steele, their Senior Director of Communications, who probably wrote the initial tweets anyway — to add his two cents from his personal account, amplifying what he’d already said.
If you’re wondering, Cekada was probably talking about Democrat campaign talking points like this . . .
And who should enter the chat at that point? Why, none other than the ATF Director Robert Cekada himself, objectively the most gun rights-friendly head of the firearms regulatory agency we’ve ever seen.
Steele, being the a smug, bottom-feeder he is, clearly never expected Cekada himself to take exception to his trolling, let alone crack back at him publicly. All he could think of at that point was to criticize him for…responding to his shitposting.
That prompted Cekada to come right back at him from the top rope . . .
LOL, you talk crap to me and then your mad that I responded. I am on my time, and I am exercising my 1st amendment right to call you and idiot. I responded to a message from trash talking, fact twisting BS artist. I am not one of you loyal readers and will NEVER waste my time…

Look, we know lots of you don’t believe ATF should exist at all, but how can you possibly be blackpilling when the man who runs the federal firearms regulatory agency kicks back with an adult beverage on a Friday evening and takes time to bang out a few tweets slamming one of Michael Bloomberg’s paid mouthpieces and calling him an idiot?
