FFL = Federal Firearms License
Just get rid of the ATF!
Thank you for clarifying the acronym.
Gitting rid of the ATF does not solve the problem. It simply relocates it.
We need to reform or repeal the gun laws, not just get rid of one agency.
What good does it do to “get rid” of the ATF when the FBI will then take up responsibility for enforcing the gun laws?
The ATF thinks its being cute by calling them rules instead of laws, but the ATF (and all of the other DC TLA agencies) which are part of the Executive branch ARE MAKING LAWS WHEN THIS IS THE EXCLUSIVE ROLE OF CONGRESS.
restore constitutional governance and close down anti-constitutional bureaus. I’m fine with honoring the employees by offering them good new career paths in legitimate agencies.
Justice Clarence Thomas (the best one on the court) agrees with you.
Nonsense, Just make Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms what it should be:
A Drive-thru window at a convenience store. . (grin)
That reminds me, has anybody heard anything on the whether or not the “searchable database” that Steve Dettlebach assured us was not an illegal gun registry will be destroyed?
The Congress has always given some leeway to agencies to interpret law and make rules.
The question is: How much leeway? Is the Agency significantly changing the intent of the law Congress passed?
The ATF under Biden made changes in the law. Some of those changes have been shot down by the courts. Some have been upheld. Some are being reversed or corrected by the Trump administration.
It is a big difference if the Agency changes the form used to apply for an importation license, or if they decide to not allow importation of something allowed by law.
For decades the Congress has given more and more power to the administrative state. It is a violation of the separation of powers doctrine. That is changing under the current Supreme Court.
I recall a fair number of Congresscritters were calling for the Trump Administration to have it destroyed.
I have long said that we need an amendment to the Constitution that clarifies that no agency, authority, board, commission, committee, department, division, office, et created by Congress shall have the authority to pass any rule or regulation with the power to punish, or fine any person or company with punitive, monetary, or imprisonment.
I just can’t remember them all anymore, and often times they can be associated with more than one entity.

So, to save you from getting the question, I just provided what I learned. 🙂👍
Awesome!
It's disturbing that it isn't all of them.
That was the Chevron Difference that SCOTUS knocked down recently.
Reducing a personal collection needs to be Exempted , at least Defined.
That remark made me smile. Thank you.
