Let's Go, Brandon (Herrera for ATF Director)!
Two thumbs up.
Long overdue. Once we get activist judges off the bench, crime will all but disappear.
Yes, we don't need the ATF except for our automatic transmissions.
Does this mean we will have give therapy to all the agents with Wyatt Earp Syndrome?
Nah. They can go after real criminals for their adrenaline rush. And if that's too much for them, IDK, I got nothing. In that case, not many of us will be surprised.
Thank you, Eric Burlison!
Peewee Herman here stole that idea from Brandon Herrera.
Brandon for ATF Director!
"Brandon for ATF
Director!destroyer!The reason they dont want civilians owning machine guns is because a dude with a browning m2 can solo an entire swat team when they try to violate his rights.
A well functioning ATF would have by now, gotten all illegal guns off the streets! They are the deep state's henchmen to curtail gun rights for law abiding citizens!
Drill press manufacturers are gonna love this!
I always thought congress couldn't abolish an executive agency, but they could de-fund it?
Yes, Congress plays a crucial role in creating executive branch agencies. According to the Constitution, Congress has the authority to establish federal offices and agencies through legislation (Article I, Section 8, Clause 18, Necessary and Proper Clause). This power is exercised through separate statutes passed by Congress, which define the goals, powers, and functions of each agency.
The Supreme Court has consistently recognized Congress’s authority to create executive branch agencies, citing the Necessary and Proper Clause (e.g., Freytag v. Comm’r, 501 U.S. 868, 883 (1991); Buckley v. Valeo, 424 U.S. 1, 138 (1976)). Congress can establish agencies, determine their functions and jurisdiction, prescribe qualifications and rules for appointees, and fix their terms and compensation (Myers v. United States, 272 U.S. 52, 129 (1926)).
While the President has some discretion in appointing agency heads and officials, Congress’s authority to create agencies is a fundamental aspect of the legislative process. The President’s role is to enforce the laws, including those created by Congress for executive branch agencies.
In summary, Congress creates executive branch agencies through legislation, exercising its constitutional authority under the Necessary and Proper Clause.
why not just get rid of the NFA? Did I miss something in his approach?
AT LAST!
