Calls To Abolish The ATF And Repeal The NFA

The debate over firearm ownership remains one that will likely never find common ground in the United States. To supporters of the Second Amendment, it is a right guaranteed by our Founding Fathers, while gun control advocates would like to put greater restrictions on the ownership of firearms. Yet, in recent decades the debate over gun control has become a hot button political issue, one embraced by lawmakers on both sides.
On Tuesday, Republican Rep. Thomas Massie (@RepThomasMassie) of Kentucky – a noted supporter of the Second Amendment – tweeted a simple but direct question, “What pro Second Amendment legislation do you want the House to pass when Republicans retake the majority?”
The response was immediate, with many gun rights groups and supporters calling for the abolishment of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), and even the repeal of the National Firearms Act of 1934 (NFA).
No, no, no, no and a thousand times no. My rights are guaranteed by God, not the founders. The founders created a covenant, which upon violation, justifies dissolution of the contract altogether.
Men of good character want to abolish the ATF because it is an unconstitutional abomination. Men of good character want to repeal the NFA because it is an infringement on God given rights.

What did the republicans do when they had the white house, senate, house, SCOTUS, and majority of governor mansions for six years under baby bush and 2 years under Trump?
It’s all a lie. The republicans hate you and your freedom just as much as the rest of the commies running America. The Dems have always been commies and never much hid that. It’s the republicans that are the lying, double talking, bait and switch vipers. All of them need to be hanged from the neck until dead, every last one.

The NFA is 100% unconstitutional, full stop. The Second Amendment says “the right of the people to Keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” Period, end of sentence. There are no limiting or qualifying clauses. It does not say “the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed UNLESS the firearm has a barrel less than 16″, is fully automatic, has a suppressor, and traded in interstate commerce.”
“But… but… but,” they say…. “We can’t just let anyone walk into a hardware store and buy a MACHINE GUN, can we?”
We sure as hell can, and we did — in the 1920s you could buy a Thompson off the shelf, or mail order one from Sears, Roebuck and have the postman drop it off at your door, no questions asked.
Of course that was back when we actually lived in a free country, and the people believed that the Constitution actually meant what it said…

@X: Probably not the USPS because those things cost ~$225 and that was a lot of scratch to risk with the PO. No, most likely Wells-Fargo or American Express (yeah, that’s what they did back then) would get the job of packing it to your front door.

The closest thing to eternal life on this planet is a government program/agency. Want to be rid of the NFA and ATF? That will require the total eradication of the US government…..nothing less will accomplish that.
