Let’s not just cynically ignore law and Constitution like the Dems do with border enforcement. “The President shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed.” If we are taking the position that some agencies or departments are unconstitutional, let’s do so forthrightly.

And, in a rare moment when we have enough institutions aligned to create some barriers to future swings to the far left as we do now (House, Senate, Presidency, Supreme Court, and the People, at the beginning of a new Congress with reconciliation available (making it possible to enact law with 50% of Senate )), we need to use it to install barriers to future tyranny. For instance FISA has failed, the FBI and ATF have failed. Shut them down while it is possible.

Never happen. Alphabet agencies are bloated, anachronistic entities that employ millions of civil servants whose Job #1 is to ................ vote. They represent the height of inefficiency and nepotism, but like all socialist organizations, their job is safe as long as they support the politburo.

That’s a word that sounds exactly like what it means.

Hi.

As many on this forum have commented, the ATF should be a convenience store in a strip mall.

They just need to go into the private sector and be gone.

You spelled woodchipper/hog farm incorrectly.

Does this means the thugs will have to buy their own jackboots?

BTW I like your user name.
All my computers are Ubuntu O/S.


Thanks - it's obsolete for me these days - I haven't actively developed in any Unix flavor for many years now (though I still run OpenBSD on one of my boxes at home).

Start with this and then get rid of all unconstitutional government agencies.

No, put Brandon Herrara in charge. He has his own gun-oriented podcast and is on Unsubscribe and ran a close Tx state representative campaign last year.
He will peel back the lies and gut the place — then, get rid of it.

Gone 100%. Still have several other agencies that think the stasi is a good model.

That brings back some memories. I smoked a pipe for over 45 years. I quit over a year ago, but still have many pipes and probably some stale tobacco.

when i was about 16 My parents didn’t want me.smoking cigarettes, but they let me smoke a pipe. That was almost 60 years ago.

About 25 years ago, I discovered a pipe club, and a pipe chat room. We would get together at pipe shows. The pandemic pretty much ended that.

Put them back to collecting taxes on alcohol and tobacco and repeal the NFA and GCA and the law that banned new machine guns.
