Quoted: Fuck Chevron SCOTUS should rule on Chevron this year? Correct? View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: The only new laws should come from Congress Fuck Chevron SCOTUS should rule on Chevron this year? Correct? Let’s hope they get it right. I fear too many justices like government overreach when it appeals to their particular beliefs. |

Quoted: Good luck enforcing that one, ATF. View Quote They'll implement a mandatory registry. Have a gun that isn't registered? Missing a gun that is? Ten years in prison. That's the only way to do it. Once there's a registry then bans will follow as they're now drastically easier to enforce. |

Quoted: I'm curious as to how they'd actually execute it. View Quote As others have said fuck the ATF and of course its unconstitutional and may get slapped down by SCOTUS but... Coming from the Fintech space I caution everyone to think about timelines and payment methods if such a thing should come into effect. The average person has no idea what kind of network analysis and information financial institutions have on you. Because of the bank secrecy act (1970) & Patriot act (2001) they have an unbelievable amount of info and leeway on how they use it. Of course the financial institutions (most anyway) are naturally in bed with politicians at the highest levels so they WILL and HAVE worked with them (think about J6). Even those that are not still have compliance requirements with FINCEN among others that must be adhered to or they'll be shutdown. A little less known is that even cash can be tracked to some degree but outside of financial instruments remember that if there's a digital footprint and the will to obtain and use it the ability is absolutely there. 4473's for original purchases are absolutely put in a "non-existent" database and they're dated etc. The other factor is determining who has what and when, ie at what point would they know a new buyer from a PP had x from y. That might never happen for the majority unless there's some sort of mass confiscation (lolol) but one could think of a few occasions where that might be discovered if you have an imagination. Perhaps you PP x from y and then trade that gun in at a gunshop and they record that on a 4473 etc. All of that said, in effect this is another defacto NFA if you look a bit into the future (assuming they're not stopped). Think about it like the Hughes amendment etc as it was all created by the same people and they love to inch things forward slowly and never forget the overall goal. |

I'm thinking that the level of voluntary compliance will be pretty low.

Quoted: lol how will they preemptively know…. 4473s sure, but what those are sold FTF? fuck off ATF View Quote Entrapment is their gold standard. Interpret private sales as illegal. Agents post ads wanting to buy guns. Profit. I just hope none of those brave men and women don't get hurt in the line of duty if they attempt this. That would be tragic. |

Quoted: Where is the legal justification? Even their abuses of the law usually have some pretense of an excuse. I can't see how they can just declare it illegal. I'd love to see what their angle is on this. View Quote That's my question. What are they basing it on to get the authority to make that huge a change? |

Their direction from the White House in 2021 was "Find a way to go after guns without needing a vote in Congress" so that's what they've been doing with the full knowledge that their bullshit won't hold up in court. It allows ATF to say "we tried".
If they enact this "rule", it'll just be slapped down in court like all the others. |

Quoted:
?????? @EMPOWR_us has learned through whistleblowers within ATF that at the direction of the White House, ATF has drafted a 1,300 page document to justify a rule effectively banning the private sale of firearms. The whistleblowers say the rule is being drafted by Senior Policy Counsel Eric Epstein, who worked as the Phoenix Field Office's Division Counsel during Operation Wide Received (a precursor of Operation Fast and Furious). View Quote (miscellaneous crap not related to it cut) I'm curious as to how they'd actually execute it. If it's really 1,300 pages; they've put together serious thought into this, but... I just don't know. Perhaps it's being drafted to be held "in abeyance" awaiting the next mass shooting, for maximum effect? View Quote Fuck ‘em. We’re the ones with all the guns. They can try to enforce it, people are out of fucks to give. |

Quoted: dumbest thing you could ever say Yeah, your gonna ignore this law just like you ignore the machinegun ban right.

Another rule to be shot down. Do they get sick of having their peepee slapped?

If you work for, contract with, or support the ATF you are a flaming sack of traitorous shit.

While it is clear that you are correct as to ATF's mindset, they are still in the habit of contorting logic to lay claim to an interpretive rule related to statute. That's why Chevron has come up so much in this thread, as it grants deference to the regulating entity in their interpretation of the statutes. |

Any relation? I don't know about relation but Operation Wide Receiver almost certainly got innocent people killed in Mexico, when the ATF lost track of the guns. |

The ATF basically went after him because he sold a ""large number" of guns, and they considered his personal collection his merchandise, and gasp advertised a gun for sale occasionally. The more disturbing thing is it seemed to me a coordinated cross agency hit to eliminate someone Dept of Ag wasnt happy with because they sold stuff like raw milk.

They are actively working to disarm and make law obiding gun owners lives as difficult as possible while simultaneously allowing four million illegal criminals rapists terrorists and murderers to flood over the border each year.

Then the tide turned and we have been winning for 30 years, which is why the enemy is thrashing about everywhere while being almost completely ineffective. Liberals talk about how kind and caring they are, while being some of the most viciously mean people imaginable. Similarly Conservatives claim to know and understand history...... but display such a perfect ignorance of it that they end of believing whatever the left tells them. |

Until politicians are held accountable for passing unconstitutional laws, nothing will change. They pass them knowing it is and expect to take it to court.
