🔥April 19: The Waco compound burns to the ground after FBI agents in an armored vehicle smash the buildings and pump in tear gas.

“They ask the courts to rule that the ATF rule is unlawful”

Why not just tell the court the ATF is UNLAWFUL!! The ATF and every gun law since 1914 is unconstitutional when you look at SCOTUS Bruen decision.

The ATF is a federal regulatory agency that has been turned over to anti-gun activists who are creating and enacting legislation outside the bounds of their authority. It’s as silly to allow such abuse as it would be to turn the Transportation Department to activists who hate cars and trucks. Which we have.

... too many of them arrive home safely.


Just as too many dems who rode the fraud’s trail to victory in 2020 are safe and sound.

The fraud won’t stop until politicians fear stealing elections.

You won't be able to "transfer" a gun to someone without a background check at a dealer. Hunting with a buddy and his gun is broken? Can't lend him the spare that you brought, illegal.
It is all about making every transaction go through the government who is registering them.

The law isn’t just about 2A, it also violates the 4th and 14th Amendment protections of private property.

After the protection of individual life and liberty, the most important function of any state is the protection of private property. If you own a thing and the government comes along after the fact and places impediments on you selling or trading that thing for personal profit, then they have devalued that thing.

But the government may not deprive you of that thing’s full value without due process, and ATF rulemaking does not rise to the threshold of due process.

I just kicked off an email to my Governor (MS) asking him to add Mississippi to this deal - if we don’t take actual actions, and just whine - like I’m sure a number of FReepers do, we don’t deserve to be free.

I appreciate Red Badger for always keeping us posted on such topics.

It is truly unfortunate that the date of the original attack on the compound did not result in the shut down of the BATF.

That attack involving fatalities on both sides was purely an attack motivated by BATF budget hearings in DC. Optics and theater, were the acceptable method chosen to go after Koresh instead of tried true and legal methods of arrest or presentation of warrant.

The BATFE has continued to act in that same mind set for over thirty years. That should be adequate proof that they do not exist for any benefit of “We the People”.
