The ATF shouldn’t exist. But since it does, grab the popcorn and watch the confirmation hearing for its next would-be director.

During the confirmation hearing on February 7, the “would-be director” said this:
We’re not here trying to burden unnecessarily the American citizen, who has the complete right to exercise their Second Amendment right to bear arms, and we will not be doing that in the future if I am so confirmed.
He is mouthing words which are better than the actions of the director during the Biden administration, but unless he is dismantling the firearms portion of the ATF the agency is always going to be an illegal “burden” (infringement) of the Second Amendment. 4473s and background checks were not part of the history and tradition of firearms regulation at the time of our country’s founding.
Still, we should take one step at a time and celebrate our victories. Having a better director than the last one is a step in the right direction and worthy of mild celebration. Always remember, Laugh, and the World Laughs with You. If nothing else keep in mind that if Robert Cekada is confirmed as director, the anti-gunners will be saddened and demoralized.
Who do you want enforcing the laws that remain after the ATF is eliminated. Every option I can think of is worse. Repeal the laws first, then disband the ATF as unnecessary.
