They’re trying to elicit a response which will be the excuse for martial law, gun confiscation, gulags, etc. Anyone who watched the left’s hyperbolic reaction to the Jan 6 protest knows this. I for one am very worried about our future.
Humpty Dumpty Poopy Pants argues the agencies that write regulations do so because they are experts in the subjects they are agencies for. ATF, EPA, etc. However, the courts are supposed to check this as these regulations are not laws, even though they carry the same weight. the latest pistol brace ban by the ATF is a perfect example. The republicans argue there is not enough oversight by courts because the Chevron case instructs courts to defer to the Federal agencies instead of the law.
The ATF just made millions of law abiding citizens felons at the beginning of this month. The ATF is a law enforcement agency, it does NOT make laws. Yet because of their responsibility to enforce the NFA, they can unilaterally decide to add whatever they want to the NFA (pistol brace) and turn anyone who owns them into a felon. Classic government overreach.
This will probably not pass the Senate, and even if it does the potato will veto, so probably symbolic and therefore no implications.
Federal Reserve is not private. The district reserve banks that print money and lend at interest are owned by the member banks (Chase, BofA, etc) as required by law. The Fed operates as a nonprofit, and any interest collected is given to the United States Treasury. The Fed is also audited and has an annual report on the audit’s findings. Whether or not it’s all on the up and up is most likely debatable, considering Ron and Rand Paul’s bill to audit the Fed even more than it is. I trust them more than a banker any day.
Everyone that wasn’t there should start saying they were. Tie up the fucking system. This is not legal advice.
