Simply if you thought the ATF couldn’t get any extra bloated or aggressive, the Division of Justice says, “Maintain my beer.”
The newest scheme? A proposed merger between the ATF and DEA.
That’s proper—your least favourite federal gun company may quickly be fusing with the nation’s drug warriors, like some sort of bureaucratic Voltron. And gun rights teams aren’t having it.
The Second Modification Basis (SAF), together with GOA, CCRKBA, CRPA, and different heavy hitters, fired off a letter to Lawyer Basic Pam Bondi telling her to slam the brakes.
Why? As a result of giving the ATF extra brokers, extra funds, and DEA-level surveillance powers is principally handing a toddler a chainsaw.
SAF’s Adam Kraut was extremely essential. He identified the ATF’s biggest hits—wrongfully busting authorized gun house owners, tanking small FFLs with paperwork traps, and escalating conditions which have turned lethal.
Now think about all that, however with entry to high-end intel instruments and drug conflict sources. Yeah. No thanks.
The letter flat-out says the merger would “exponentially increase their attain and sources” and requires the ATF to remain in its lane—till it may be abolished utterly.
Sure, they stated it out loud.
GOA didn’t maintain again both. Of their press launch, they known as the merger a “Trojan Horse for gun management.”
In accordance with Erich Pratt, the DEA’s militarized construction would “supercharge ATF’s conflict on the Second Modification.”
Sam Paredes stated what everybody’s pondering: this isn’t about effectivity—it’s about constructing an even bigger hammer to crush gun rights.
Even a few senators—Lindsey Graham and Jerry Moran—jumped in to throw flags on the play. And when these two agree on one thing, you recognize it’s bizarre.
So, right here’s the deal: the feds need to construct the last word alphabet company, and gun rights teams are calling B.S.
They’re warning that if we let this fusion occur, the ATF will go from obnoxious to outright terrifying. And with a future anti-gun administration? Yikes.
Backside line: This isn’t a merger. It’s a hostile takeover—of your rights. Name your reps. Name the DOJ. And perhaps begin designing your “ATF-DEA Activity Drive” parody patches now. You’ll want the chortle.
