Yeah, it’s almost as if your constitutional republic has disappeared. Wait a minute...
ATF actually does some great work prosecuting habitual firearm offenders among thr gangbangers and drug trafficers....applying stiffer federal penalties with superior expertise in federal courts. What we read about are egregious exceptions to that rule. But it takes a firm administrative hand to restrain the quasi-indepent jurisdiction prone to such nonsensical, agenda-driven persecutions. We don’t have that now. In fact, these rogues are rewarded for their efforts....made a model for others to follow. Purges proceed as needed.
The rot starts at the top. One jurisdiction at a time. One judge at a time. One coven of media owners.... to cheer them on....at a time.
So, I don’t think anything is totally lost. There’s just a lot of nascent malignancy to be excised by a president who treasures liberty in his or her
heart....and uses authority to appoint righteous lieutenants...and a legislature amenable to doing the right thing. It can happen.
