Some lawmakers are on the right track

FORMER JUSTICE OFFICIALS ASK SENATE TO CONFIRM BIDEN’S ATF DIRECTOR TO FIGHT GUN VIOLENCE

The momentum for the nomination came at the same time as elected Republicans attacked the very existence of the ATF.

Republican House Representatives Marjorie Taylor Greene (GA), Matt Gaetz (FL), Paul Gosar (AZ), and Ralph Norman (SC) have proposed legislation to “eliminate the ATF”.

The view is shared by Republicans currently in the running, including Senate candidate JD Vance, who recently won his party’s nomination in Ohio.

It’s not enough to accomplish much more than making some noise, but they are making the correct kind of noise.

  1. Why just the ATF? When there’s so many that need removing?
    Good on them though. Every journey starts with a first step!

    • Indeed, most agencies are unconstitutional, and the few that aren’t entirely unconstitutional may well be partly so. But as you said, one has to take the first step. For that, targeting one of the most hazardous agencies first makes a lot of sense.

  2. It’s hard to see why ATF would need a director. Are they that incompetent that they are unable to do unconstitutional search and seizure, and unconstitutional arrests for violation of unconstitutional laws, without an anti-rights ideologue to hold their hands?

  3. Any elimination of the BATFE without first eliminating the body of regulations they promulgate and enforce will simply transfer the evil they do to another agency.

    Eliminating NFA and GCA will cause the F part of them to wither and die naturally, without handing enforcement to the, perhaps, more corrupt FBI.

    Hell, just paring them back to being tax collectors would be nice though.
