The American people are getting fed up with the pathetic performance of the Biden administration. Legal gun owners (that would be you and me) are, maybe, more sick of the current administration than any other group in America due to the illegal targeting of guns and gun owners.
The most recent example of this targeting is the pistol brace rule that the ATF recently implemented (you can read more about that here). Many people are rightly calling this rule nothing more than an attempt to disarm law-abiding Americans and to strip Americans of their Second Amendment rights.
At least one Republican, though, is trying to do something to fix the problem. Mimi Nguyen Ly writes,
The new “Abolish the ATF Act” bill introduced by Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) would immediately disband the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, & Firearms (ATF) upon its enactment.
“The continued existence of the ATF is increasingly unwarranted based on their repeated actions to convert law-abiding citizens into felons. They must be stopped. My bill today would abolish the ATF once and for all,” Gaetz said on Wednesday upon introducing the new bill, H.R.374 (pdf).
Gaetz told Fox News that the “final straw” came when the Department of Justice, which oversees the ATF, on Jan. 13 announced a new rule on pistol attachments known as stabilizing braces. The new rule was also posted on the ATF’s website.
It says that gun owners could be charged with a felony if they don’t register their braced firearms with the ATF.
Good for Gaetz. This has been something that has needed to happen for quite a while.
To be frank, with Democrats controlling both the Senate and the White House, it’s pretty unlikely that this bill will actually get passed into law, so, this is largely a symbolic act on Gaetz’s part. It is a step in the right direction, though, and shows much more courage than RINOs in Congress ever show.
As we continue to work towards a return to full access to our Second Amendment rights in America (meaning no government interference with them or tracking of them), someday we’ll see the ATF dismantled, and that’s a day to look forward to.
Well said. An old bumper sticker read, “When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns.” Well, I’m a friggin’ outlaw, and fork ’em if they can’t take a joke, their mothers could.
👍🏻👏👏👏🤣🤣🤣🤣

Pointy ends first is what they’ll get….
ABOUT TIME!
The ATF consists of appointed UNELECTED Bureaucrats. Under no circumstances should they be permitted to enact regulations nor statutes. They should only be allowed to make recommendations to congress where those measures can then be voted on! The ATF was established as a revenue agency!! Stick to your purpose!!
Chicago Bill ; I agree with you 100% ! The ATF is not here to make laws, but they are here to uphold laws ! Unfortunately, if we allow our law makers to do their thing, They will still fight to take away our guns ! Just look at Pritzker as an example of OVER REACH ! He just violated our 2nd amendment of the Constitution of the United States of America ! All of these politicians only want to disarm all citizens so they can dictate to us their rule of law ! TIERNEY, I TELL YOU ! The 2nd amendment was very well thought out to ensure the FREEDOM of every single American ! Today’s society is out of control and taking our guns from us will only make our lives so much worse !!! MOLON LABE’ !
Too many government agencies are writing laws they have no power to right. I put much of the blame on Congress for writing poorly defined bills, granting way too much authority to agency heads to “manipulate” the laws to their own desires. Congress has ceded their authority to enact laws to the executive branch and all the agencies and departments under their control.
Thank you, Congressman, Matt Gaetz! We need more like you in Washington D.C!
Communism; Marxism; Fascists; oh yeah, this and even worse than we all can imagine. They are totally hell-bent on disarming every single one of us. Once they achieve this goal, martial law will take over. And with this all hell will break loose. The U.S. government needs to be dismantled. They are literally criminals. Taxation is a fancy word for extortion. I’m glad we have the Constitution of America. But in the back rooms of the U.S. government, there’s talk of getting rid of the U.S. Constitution which was written to protect us from Tyrants like the government. So, food 4 thought? Death is to good of a player to give his opponents “the U.S. government” many chances of winning.
go for it!
What about the EPA?in the 1930s, GMC put out a carburetor that gave 120 miles to the gallon…with a V8…
The FDA. Drugs made in Europe to take away cataracts…and many more drugs that you can find in Mexico, not in USA…
IRS. Only created for the purpose to support the War Effort.
The unions of teachers…only created and allowed by “Woodrow wilson” to brain wash your children becoming Socialists…
The whole freaking government handicapped even more under “””44 the TRAITOR””” hiring ONLY blacks…
EPA, Depts of Energy and Education are all useless, wasteful departments that have caused more problems than solved.
Remold Vottier, well said. Everything you said is true. The government is trying to disarm the people so they can do what they want. Look, the CDC did a report on guns about a year or 2 ago and since it doesn’t preach their narrative, they won’t release it. Also former President Obama’s last year, they did a similar report and found that a lot more people stopped violent crimes because law abiding citizens were carrying. Can anyone tell me how I would go about getting the freedom of information, to get a copy the CDC report that the government squashed?
All shall be REVEALED. The Whole Global Cabal, demoncRATs and RINOS, ALL SATAN’S DEMON SPAWN MINIONS DESERVE DIRT NAPS. President Trump’s still my President. LGB,FJB! I’m not a BOT nor a Spammer. I’m a American Veteran, Trucker and GreatGrandpa. Yahweh save our poor souls Amen.
The ATF doesn’t do much except, gun/drug running! Totally an unnecessary unit!!
