Attorney General Bondi just issued her first statement touching on 2A and the ATF

[VinnieBoomBah]

As part of a memo outlining the Trump Administration's approach to charging and sentencing, Bondi ordered the ATF to deprioritize some enforcement efforts. Instead, she told the agency to focus resources on areas ranging from immigration enforcement to human trafficking and transnational gangs. However, she also told them not to deprioritize firearms regulations.

"To free resources to address more pressing priorities, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) shall shift resources from its Alcohol and Tobacco Enforcement Programs to focus on matters relating to the other priorities set forth herein," Bondi said in the memo. "No resources shall be diverted from the ATF's regulatory responsibilities, such as federal firearms licenses and background checks."

So focus on things not in their mandate and no relief for gun owners

Too early to tell. It certainly was not told to ramp up enforcement. On the other hand (dunno about this guy's credibility). The EO examines and/or undoes all gun control measures taken by the Biden admin since Joe took office.

This is excellent news and exactly what our country needs (assuming we can't get rid of atf outright I mean).

Focusing on actual criminals is in their mandate, and diverting resources from prosecuting regular gun owners to criminals is massive relief for regular gun owners.

Focusing on armed gangs such as those taking over apartments in Colo. and other actual criminals such as the Venezuelan gangs etc is where they should be focusing their efforts.

It shouldn't be on trying to drive ffls out of business due to typos, prosecuting lawful Americans for having a firearm 1" too long or too short, or for using some accessory. Focus on actual criminals that's what we need, not focus on regular gun owners. So much energy and money has been wasted in trying to enforce Biden's bs. The man and his minion's didn't even know what they were enforcing or why. Fe he said anyone owning a semi auto "is just sick!". What a waste of manpower. Focus on the criminals! This is in the past now, thank goodness:

YEP! Per the norm many gun owners are jumping up and down wishing Knee pads had won so they are um-happy with any good news on the 2A front.

Can't tell if that's intended to be a shot at me or not but I'm not a Harris supporter and if there's any agency that should've been gutted from the get-go it's the ATF but the idea that the ATF has any authority or training to handle the things she's asking them to is absurd

 

[Jay Walk]

What was the question again?

 

[Nosferatu]

ATF moving the A and T people to go after illegals? This seems like sending Barney Fife out to take down Al Capone.

I'm going to have to have a drink and a smoke to ponder this one.

ATF should go the way of USAID. I love it when people say they support the 2A but then support regulations that violate the 2A.

Or really anyone that says they support The Constitution but then support anything that violates The Constitution

My opinion wouldn't change if we were sending heart surgeons to shut down a runaway nuclear power station.

Well, Biden is likely suffering from dementia and cognitive decline. He probably can't remember what day of the week it is, without handlers. But yeah, his remarks in those videos do show that he knows nothing about that which he speaks.

Bondi Orders ATF to Shift Resources Away from Alcohol, Tobacco

In one of her first acts as Attorney General, Pam Bondi ordered an apparent reshuffling of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF).

I wonder how many have been fired?
Seems like you'd reshuffle a new deck.

I may have missed it, but I don't see that any ATF agents were fired

...she told the agency to focus resources on areas ranging from immigration enforcement to human trafficking and transnational gangs.

Are immigration, trafficking, and gangs under "Alcohol" or under "Tobacco?"

Don't we have other agencies for those crimes?

Well if they have to be around for a while, At least they have a job to do first:

"The Haitian migrant, who reportedly has at least 17 recent convictions, was one of eight notable arrests federal immigration officers made in Boston, including multiple MS-13 gang members as well as murder and rape suspects"

Why do you hate peyote, 'shrooms, and sweat lodges, man?

That's a different 3-letter gestapo.

 

[CamoDeafie]

Unregistered, post-86 Machine Guns(Glock switches), unregistered Short Barreled firearms (sawn off shotguns and rifles), "illegally" (only because NFA) modified firearms like Glocks with 2nd grips; Destructive Devices (bombs, grenade launchers, etc), homemade silencers, these seem to fall under the purview of the ATF and are often found in the hands of gang members, and drug cartel members ... And it is literally their job to enforce NFA, GCA and Hughes Amendment regardless of citizen status?

I'd say that ATF going after internationally known gang/cartel members, and locally-State known criminals alongside the DEA would've do a lot more? But ain't holding my breath that they'll actually do that.


Edit. Tax evasion was how they got Al Capone

Arresting for violating NFA/GCA/Hughes Amendment might be how they deal with cartel members within the States
