The excutive branch has WAY too much power, and has had too much power for way too long.

I love Massie, he seems to be on the ball challenging all this sort of stuff.

He’s right. The Obama administration wanted to make these changes, so they asked congress to pass a new law clarifying the definition of a receiver. That was 2016.

It’s a violation of the Oath of Office to even vote for legislation that in any way an infringement on the Second Amendment.

It’d be nice if he’d charge president mashed potatoes with violation of USC 16 title 242: Deprivation of rights under color of law, instead of just a tweet...

The ATF is classifying 80% receivers as a firearm if it is “sold, distributed, or possessed with a compatible jig or template.”

So all of those 80% lower kits that include a jig are now firearms. Or will be 120 days after the rule is published in the Federal Register.

Anyone who is a prohibited person who possesses an uncompleted 80% receiver and a jig for that 80% receiver is considered to be in possession of a firearm.

I’m still trying to figure out how they can confirm a SCOTUS justice when no vacancy exists?

Agree, but the legislative and judicial branch also assumes too much authority. The chains of the constitution must be forced upon the Fed/Gov.

Guess the joke is on the Joetato and his puppet masters then, because that means an injunction against the new rule should take about 15 minutes to get for exceeding statutory authority.

It's even funnier because some circuits have already held that the GCA definition does not match either a complete AR upper or lower.

The danger is that the current crop of Dem scum in control of Congress could try to write a more expansive definition.

The excutive branch has WAY too much power, and has had too much power for way too long.

Clearly, as do these unconstitutional rules coming out of states and various agencies

In fact the Federal Government, across the board, has way too much power and has had too much power for too damned long.

And, way too much of our money and borrowed money.
