“congress”

The ATF is celebrating its golden anniversary it its modern form this year. Unfortunately, the Biden administration seems to be focused on turning this enforcement agency into an anti-Second Amendment wrecking ball.

President Biden and his anti-gun administration have directed the ATF to define what a gun is and to issue new regulations on the manufacture and sale of privately made firearms.

The ATF has a troubled history, but its agents also do important work. It's time we acknowledge this and so keep them out of politics.

The ATF has a very clear mission: follow the laws as Congress writes them. Instead, the ATF and the executive branch routinely attempt to sidestep Congress and create laws themselves.

We inherited a great freedom thanks to the sacrifices of generations of Americans who came before us. And we are charged with continuing that great legacy handed down to us.

The data shows that the bulk of violent crimes in major cities are perpetrated by small numbers of known criminals. Rather that subjecting those criminals to vigorous prosecution, soft-on-crime prosecutors and politicians would rather blame law-abiding gun owners.

Amid the continuing misguided cry to “just do something” congressman apparently believes the key to stopping such violence is hitting law-abiding gun purchasers squarely in the pocketbook.

You may remember Dianna Muller from when she testified before Congress in 2019. Many seemed surprised by her strong statements, especially coming from a retired police officer.

The text of the Second Amendment is explicit, and since it is a right, the people, not the government, decide. Yet, gun-control activists are still intent on attempting to define exactly what "arms" are protected by it.
