Ummmm, welding?
“Gone are the days of a presidential administration welding the bureau as a hammer against an industry it politically-disfavored.”
Outstanding!!! ATF put 3 dealers out of business in my old town basically just using harassment and blackmailing tactics…. They should be scaled back to just the amount of personnel they need to do their core mission.
An impartial, 3rd party observer would probably wonder why in the world we have a government enforcement agency focusing on such unrelated things. Firearms, whiskey and cigarettes don’t have enough in common to be under one umbrella, until you see that the one common thread is, they’re all three things the government would like to tell us we can’t or shouldnt have.
An interesting observation. But I hadn’t realized the one stark difference until you said this.
While your statement itself is true, the government has no desire to eliminate alcohol or tobacco. In fact, they almost praise the addictive properties these products have, because of the huge cash cow they create in tax revenue. But firearms don’t have the same addictive appeal (medically speaking). And so far, they haven’t been too successful in taxing them to death.
That’s why they are under the same roof, Revenue…
“ATF’s reputation is dependent on remaining an apolitical, unbiased and fair law enforcement and regulatory agency. That fair treatment and respect for fundamental liberties begins at the top."
OH MY GOD I JUST THREW UP IN MY MOUTH!
‘Unbiased’ -----Fail!
‘Remaining Apolitical—FAIL!’
‘FAIR!’------------------------ HARD’ FAIL!’
Hey, Let’s ask Bryan Malinowski what his ‘Grade’ of the ‘Fair Treatment’ he received under the ATFF’s
‘fundaMENTALLiberties ? Hmmmmmmmmm? Oh, that’s right we can’t he’s duckin’ DEAD! Bullet to da Head! That seems incredibly fair don’t it?–It was only one bullet! (sarc)
I don’t think you can find ONE Gunner (or even the average awake Citizen if their Vaunted REPUTATION is viewed in a positive light. Maybe we can ask his Widow.
The ATF was used as the GESTAPO ARM OF THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION—FACT!
They tried to DISARM AMERICANS!—FACT
The successfully shut down a major portion of the Firearms industry (Gun Shops, Ranges, Manufacturing)
---- FACT
They’ve KILLED AMERICAN’S!—duckin’ FACT!
The ATF should be disbanded and the LEADERS @ THE TOP PROSECUTED.

This place is basically an AA meeting with a fully stocked bar and great bartenders looking to enable you.
Well said.
I can quit anytime, if I wanted to 
I’m still of the opinion disband and/or remove firearms from the ATF and combine it with DEA or something…
thing is there are some good people in the ATF but the leaders n such are carry far to much political bias…
same with FBI and many other such agencies…
Throw in some ‘Oxycodone’ and we’d have a PAR-Tey! Bruh! 
I said that to my wife when we moved in together and she saw me bringing in my guns into our house. She’s still laughing…
