Can the ATF just decide to ban something, without going through congress?

Depends on the wording of the statutes, I suppose. Congress usually delegates broad authority to fedgov agencies, and they seem to take full advantage of it.

This is what comes from an expansive Commerce Clause.

“Congress usually delegates broad authority to fedgov agencies, and they seem to take full advantage of it.”

That’s too bad. We’ve become so fascist, with a lot of it behind the scenes through these government agencies. And congress if any color doesn’t seem to want to stop it.

What was it Reagan said? Something about when fascism cones to America, it will come in the name of liberalism. How wise he was! I don’t think TPTB will stop at just controlling our businesses, outright ownership will be next. Like single payer health care.
