The ATF under Director Steve Dettelbach has been at the forefront of assaulting the Second Amendment. Even after President Biden pushed through the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act (BSCA) with the cooperation of submissive Senate Republicans, he has used the administrative powers of the ATF to further infringe on our rights.

Gun runner Eric the WithHolder was sending the cartels guns in exchange for DRUGS.

Anyone who buys Holder's fiction that the U.S. was sending the cartels guns so that we could "track them" needs to have their head examined. This was an OBVIOUS cover story for something far more sinister and highly illegal.
