This has been long in coming.
Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) has introduced a bill that, if passed and signed by the president, would abolish the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco Firearm and Explosives. Instead of supporting the people's rights under the Second Amendment, it has been a hindrance, especially under liberal regimes.
CBS Austin reported:
WASHINGTON (TNND) — Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., has introduced a bill to abolish the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), the congresswoman announced Wednesday.
She argued in a press release the bureau should be eliminated before it "eventually" abolishes the Second Amendment.
“I cannot imagine under any circumstance or administration where the ATF serves as an ally to the Second Amendment and law-abiding firearm owners across America,” Rep. Boebert said. “As co-chair of the Congressional Second Amendment Caucus, I’m eager to continue this effort with Rep. Burlison to defend our constitutional rights.”
Rep. Eric Burlison, R-Mo., who co-sponsored the bill, suggested in a statement the bureau has “no place in our government.”
“The ATF is emblematic of the deep-state bureaucracy that believes it can infringe on constitutional liberties without consequence,” he said. “If this agency cannot uphold its duty to serve the people within the framework of the Constitution, it has no place in our government.”
