The U.S. Department of Government Efficiency has sent staff to the agency that enforces federal gun laws with the goal of revising or eliminating more than 50 rules and gun restrictions by July 4, the Washington Post reported on Friday.
On the Court’s logic, ATF could at any time declare AR–15s to be machineguns prohibited by federal law. Until we resolve whether the 2A forecloses that, law-abiding AR–15 owners must rely on the goodwill of a federal agency to retain their means of self-defense.
“What they want to do is deny the reality that gun violence exists and that makes me very angry,” said Brady president Kris Brown.
If Giffords wants to defend the ATF, it should explain why the agency deserves to exist after a half-century of failure, abuse, and constitutional violations.
Truth be known, Attorney General Pam Bondi or her staff should examine all of the ATF’s cases made during Biden’s term. Some were much worse than this one.
The goal of the virulently anti-gun Biden administration was to find as many FFLs as possible in violation of ATF’s regulations and shut them down. The agency’s inspectors yanked the tickets of literally hundreds of FFLs over the years. Now that abuse has finally come to an end.
The ruling from the high court said any firearms kit that is “capable of being readily….converted to expel a projectile by the action of an explosive” is covered under the Gun Control Act.
Bondi has instituted a new interim final rule that takes the process away from ATF where it’s been unfunded and dormant for the last three decades. The new rule goes into effect immediately, though the public can comment for the next 90 days.
When those who have worn a badge look at everything the ATF has done, from its incredibly sloppy search warrants to its obscene uses of lethal force, they realize it’s time to get rid of the entire agency.
