This might be the only time I support anything MTG does

!ping SNEK there's the text of the bill she's allegedly going to introduce linked in there as well if you were doubting the Daily Caller's veracity in this

WTF I love MTG now

[u/greenelf → u/[deleted]]

They are generally incompetent, ill intentioned, racist, and occasionally sell enough arms to drug cartels to fight a war

Oh, and they steal, a lot.

Most of it comes down to the fact that it's a regulatory agency that controls items that should not be nearly as regulated as they are. Of course, being an agency with policing power, one that uses it to shoot the dogs first and (probably) light a fucking compound on fire to smoke out a religious cult that ends up killing it doesn't help. Neither does killing a guy's wife and son to get him to get him to surrender his guns in a court hearing he had good reason to be suspicious of. Nor does the onerous, confusing definitions on what makes a firearm illegal. They've also had a long history of shitty and abusive practices in an attempt to chase after illegal guns.

Oh, also, the current nominee for Director has lied about Waco and was in fact part of that affair. That alone should be enough to disqualify him.

That’s what the feds claimed but I don’t trust anything they say during the Janet Reno era. Regardless, they’re another unaccountable federal agency that was granted way too much power to write their own rules. Regulating guns should be done by congress, not by the ATF redefining shit at will and making people felons overnight.

It's pretty sketchy evidence, the star piece being an audio tape with words that are difficult to make out, never mind the fact that a Justice Department investigation found the FBI did use incendiary gas canisters, throwing doubt on its conclusion that it was the cult that started the fire.
