Turn it on! Tune in! Let's go! Royce Bartlett is the keeper and bearer of truth, we know!

Only the facts about the second amendment (Royceover) And never ever forget that all gun control
laws are nothing less than overt acts of aggression against the American people and their rights"

Exercise your rights in a safe way (Royceover) It's stupidity to think that someone hell-bent on violating the law against murder will magically be stopped by a gun control law

"Politicians that infringe on our God -given rights He calls them out,
he's not here to play So turn it on tune in, crank it up
♪ Royce Bartlett and the shooting straight show ♪ ♪ Let's go,
let's go ♪ - 

You heard the man, let's go. We are locked and loaded on the Shooting Straight
Radio podcast. This is the program all about firearms, the Second Amendment,
and all things pertaining there too. I am Royce, a veritable super spreader of
constitutional propriety, pouring it to you from both barrels with 100 % felt recoil
and not a single suppressor around. Man, do we ever have a lot to talk about if
you missed the last episode, you missed a good one. It is a, actually it was a
very scary one with Boone Benton and Sarah Superbad -Adams on the program talking
about the threats we base here from a bunch of Islamo fascist jihadists.
And of course, they're going to be teaming up with the Marxists. I'm not sure if
we're going to rebrand those two's union as Islamunism, but it certainly fits and
they are sworn enemies of America, just like most Democrats. So,
uh, man, if you miss that, go back and catch it. There's some very timely warnings
and very good instruction in that video, not video, I'm sorry, in that episode,
that audio episode, and yes, we will be video soon. And I know I've said that
before, we are still working on that. It's not a pipe dream. It is going to
happen. I just didn't realize all the ins and outs and all the little minutia
involved in that, but it definitely will be on video soon.
You can check out the Shooting Straight Radio podcast page on first book and on
Instagram and see the new logo there. It's pretty cool. You can also follow there
for all of the episode links and articles and various updates. Also, the links to
all my sponsors are on each episode page. Just scroll down a little bit and you'll
see them there. If you've got comments you'd like to dish out in my direction or
even a question or four. Hit me up at shooting straight radio show at gmail .com or
shooting straight radio podcast at gmail .com and I will get right back to you.
A little more delayed response you might receive on the first book page if you hit
me up through the messenger app there but I will get back to you I promise you
that. It just might take a couple hours but I will get back to you okay. Now,
real quick, before I get into the nuts and bolts of this program, as I was getting
set up for this podcast program, this episode in particular, I couldn't help but
catch a story that came across my immediate vision as I was hitting my internet
connection. And it says, "Another state bans popular firearms easily and without a
fight. And immediately, of course, if you know me, my blood boiled and my blood
pressure shot through the roof, and it really ticked me off because I had a feeling
they were talking about Rhode Island, and sure enough they were. They passed their
Senate Bill 0359, which is an assault weapons ban, and according to the June 23rd
report by WPRI 12 news, Ms. Sarah.
Uh, transfer and purchase of certain firearms, but does not ban their possession yet.
Mm hmm. And I say yet because every state in the union that has been taken over
by the filthy communists, they do the exact same thing. All right, you can keep
them. We're not going to try to take your guns. You just can't buy any more until
they pass another one that says, okay, you got to register him now, but that's it.
Just register him And then they'll pass another one and say, okay, you got to turn
them in because that's how they work That's how these communists do their deeds and
it's going to happen. You mark my words It's going to happen and with that in mind
I'd like to say to mr. John Roberts and Katanji Jackson and all the others up
there on the Supreme Court All of the Liberals and yes, I'm gonna go ahead and
throw Cavanaugh in there, too
You enabled this. You enabled this with your inaction,
with your cowardly inaction. And it's not just the citizens of Maryland that you
screwed over by ignoring their plea. And now it's the citizens of Rhode Island.
And not to mention every other citizen in every other Communist -occupied state. You
screwed them over, you threw them under the bus, You're worthless and you really
pissed us off really bad Don't expect us to support you on anything now when you
cannot uphold and support and defend the Constitution and our rights enshrined
Therein. All right, that's the opening rant now. Let's get into the main meat
potatoes rant It turns out you've heard about the merger of the ATF with the DEA.
Yes, a match made in hell if you ask me. I'll be referencing heavily an article by
Lee Williams and you've heard him on the program before and he will be on again
soon. So make sure, matter of fact, you can catch him on the sub stack too.
He writes some great articles there. He is quite an investigator in digging deep in
these things and he's got some good contacts which makes for very good writing. So
check them out on the substack, Mr. Lee Williams, okay? So the ATF and the DIA,
DIA, good night, Royce, the ATF and the DEA were told just last month according to
Mr. Williams that the Justice Department plans to merge both agencies, which sources
say could occur by October 1st. Officially no one is talking about the merger,
which would likely require congressional approval. Unofficially, the ATF is going a
bit nuts. Now, Mr. Williams would know this better than a lot of people because he
has contacts there at the agency, and he knows who to ask the questions of,
Okay, Mr. John Clark of FFL Consultants,
he's a former law enforcement officer who trains FFLs in, and I hate this next C
-word, compliance, because I despise complying with unconstitutional edicts and laws.
But he said, "ATF leadership is trying to fight this, this merger, and convince
everyone that it's not a good idea to merge the two organizations. The proposed ATF
/DEA merger is something new, I'm sorry, is something few want to discuss. Both
agencies seem difficult to combine since each has different missions and rules.
Both have an industry enforcement and criminal enforcement side, although the DEA lies
heavily on the pharmaceutical industry to regulate itself. Hey, well, there's a novel
approach. Why don't you just let us regulate ourselves? I mean, we're pretty good at
it thus far. I mean, we are probably far more morally minded and far more lawful
people than the ATF could ever live to be in the first place. So why not let us
handle it? Now, because believe it or not, we are better crime fighters than the
ATF. Yet we're better crime fighters than the DEA and any other filthy federal
bureaucracy you've got going out there because we defend ourselves. If you just leave
us to it, we'll do it. Now get out of our way. The article continues,
"Very few want to discuss the merger, even retirees." And Mr. Clark said, "Anybody
that's retired has said they're so happy they're retired." Public affairs at ATF and
DEA refused to even discuss the merger. ATF spokesman Doug Shores said in an email,
he says, "I can't. I would refer you to DOJ." Well, DEA media affairs said in an
email, "Well, we're going to refer you to the DOJ." Public affairs at DOJ did not
respond to emails seeking their comments. Oh, mum's the word, apparently.
Meanwhile, the buzz within the ATF is not good. Mr. Clark said, "Everyone appears to
be curious as to what is to come October 1st." Restructuring and combining the two
agencies would be a massive challenge, especially after what occurred during former
President Joe Biden's term in office. During the Biden administration, Mr. Clark said,
"I had fairly good relations with the bulk of the ATF." My first question is,
Mr. Clark, why would you want to have good relations with people whose mission is
to infringe the God -given rights of the American people? Mr. Clark continued, "If
there were situations where we could back -channel comms, we would do that." Under
Trump, from my perspective, the vast majority of the F claimed it did not agree
with what Biden did. Okay, what? You didn't agree with what Biden did.
It wasn't Biden. Anyway, it was Obama through Biden. If you didn't agree with it,
why the blippity blank and blip and blopper bloop? Did you subjugate your filthy,
worthless sorry butts to the will of that tyrant who was ordering you to not only
do unconstitutional things, but to violate established ATF rules.
"Oh, we didn't agree with that." Then why did you do it? Why didn't you stand firm
on constitutional principle like big boys and girls?
Mr. Clark said his zero tolerance position hurt them. It hurt the ATF agents.
That's horrible! Oh my goodness! Poor little ATF agents were hurt when they ruined
businesses and families over minor clerical errors. They were hurt by that,
mind you. We should feel sorry for the poor little pathetic agents. Do you mean to
tell me that these agents did not have any discretion in these r -
They were forced to ruin the jobs of untold thousands of innocent peaceable citizens
within the industry So they wouldn't lose their jobs. We're supposed to feel sorry
for them We're supposed to have empathy for them now according to mr. Clark. I Want
to puke right here right now all over my mixing board just reading this crap
In an interview with Cam Edwards, National Shooting Sports Foundation senior vice
president and general counsel Larry Keen said the National Shooting Sports Foundation
strongly opposes the ATF DEA merger. The firearms industry would be better off with
structural reforms, quote unquote, to the ATF instead. Well,
Mr. Keen,
I'm grateful for everything you do for the shooting sports, sir, your fraternization
with these enemies of the Constitution is not something I smile about. I think you
can do better, really. I mean, I don't know how you can look upon any of these
people in any favorable light whatsoever, especially knowing about the many murders
they have committed, the many businesses they have shut down, the many innocent
people that have been arrested and railroaded and had evidence manufactured against
them by these same agents that you're so damn cozy with. This ticks me off,
Mr. Keen. You're supposed to be on our side, sir. Gun owners of America,
they took a very strong issue with this merger also. The G .O .A. said in a social
media post that merging is not abolishing. It is a dangerous Trojan horse.
Amen and amen. They put out a tweet on X that said, "The White House just
officially proposed merging ATF and DEA. Just imagine three times the ATF budget now
being spent. Four times the ATF tactical units now at their disposal. 10 ,000 new
employees and reduced oversight and accountability. Merging is not abolishing,
it's a dangerous Trojan horse. Yes, amen, amen and amen. I'm gonna try to get Louis
Valdez from GOA on the program again soon to talk about this very thing. Mr.
Clark and his staff didn't want to see the merger either. He has always tried to
maintain partnerships with ATF's field divisions. Why? Supporting education and
compliance of ATF regulations. Yes, teaching us how to comply with tyranny and the
violation of our rights. Yeah. As well as their mission to maintain public safety.
My position is that the public cannot be safe as long as the ATF is in existence
and the DEA too for that matter. With the merger, Clark fears his good relations
may end. The firearm industry is truly interested in preventing firearms from getting
into the wrong hands while maintaining strict compliance. No,
we're not. You don't get to say that about us, Mr. Clark. We're not interested in
maintaining strict compliance. Most of us curse compliance with the NFA and the GCA
and the ATF and all the other acronyms and initials you could put together. Screw
your compliance. Any change of this magnitude could cause confusion or anarchy by
requiring his staff to educate a new governmental body, Clark said. He said I'd
rather keep the devil. I know rather than the devil. I don't Well, Mr. Clark, I'd
rather have neither dadgum one of them. How about you and how about you my
listeners? Would you want to keep the ATF for any reason? Please explain to me how
and why they're useful Please explain to me how they keep us all safe and maintain
public safety Well, they don't because they can't It's impossible for evil men to
keep the peace. There, I said it, yeah. Well, the Justice Department is going to be
cutting two thirds of ATF inspectors monitoring gun sales. And that's according to an
article by Glenn Thrush from June 18th. He said the Justice Department plans to
slash the number of inspectors who monitor federally arms licensed dealers by two
-thirds, sharply limiting the government's already cramped capacity to identify
businesses that sell guns to criminals according to budget documents. Okay, anything
that sharply limits the government, I'm all good about that. I am absolutely 100 %
in favor for that. But as far as them having the capacity to by businesses that
sell guns to criminals, well, I tell you what, the most prolific sellers of guns to
criminals are other criminals. But y 'all don't seem too dead gum -concerned about
them as much as you are about peaceable, lawful gun store owners. You pay way too
much attention to us and none, hardly, by comparison to the actual criminals selling
the I'm including in that, uh, that bunch there, the criminals in the ATF who let
guns walk and they's probably still trafficking guns for all we know. Yes.
They are the ones that outfitted God knows how many thousands of dangerous drug
cartel members with fully automatic weapons and many others. People are still being
killed by people wielding those damn guns down there in Mexico, but You want to get
on your little sanctimony as high horse. You ATF people and post your social media
post about all these bad guys. You are rested. There's so many of you within that
agency that need to be arrested, uh, tossed into solitary and held there without
bail into your trial. And I think before we send you off to 25 years at hard
labor, you should be publicly whipped and salted. Yeah. Yeah, matter of fact,
limiting the ATF will automatically limit such lawlessness as far as your humble host
is concerned, seeing that there are also heavy traffickers in arms. The article
continues. The move, part of the Trump administration's effort to defang and downsize
the BATFE, comes as the that are merging the ATF and the DEA.
It follows a rollback of Biden -era regulations, aimed at stemming the spread of
deadly homemade firearms.
Firearms is supposed to be deadly, whether they're homemade or not, you're welcome.
Yeah, are you trying to imply that the corporate manufactured guns aren't as deadly
as the ones that are made at home? Okay, along with other gun control measures.
The department plans to eliminate 541 of the estimated 800, that means there'll be
only 259 of these scumbags left, investigators responsible for determining whether
federally licensed dealers are following federal law and regulations intended to keep
guns away from traffickers, you know, like the ATF, a straw purchasers,
criminals, and those to have severe mental illnesses, according to a budget summary,
quietly circulated last week. Well, well,
well, so much to unpack there. I'm not sure I even wanna run the rabbit trail, but
there's nothing that the ATF does that actually keeps bad people from getting guns
or mentally ill people from getting guns. Department officials estimated that
reductions would reduce ATF's capacity to regulate the firearms and explosives industry
by approximately 40 percent. Okay, only got another 60 percent to go. Works for me.
News of the plan, by the way, the White House is already demanded that the ATF has
their budget cut by 0 .6 billion. Good. I think that's great because they don't need
money to expand their tyranny. By the way, do you understand that the ATF at one
time actually was trying to buy A -10 Broncos? A -10,
you know what an A -10, all of you out there in the Air Force and the Navy and
stuff, you know what an A -10 is and you know what it can do. Yes, it's a, that's
a bad, bad ass, close support airplane. It's got a 30 millimeter Gatling gun cannon
in its nose. And when that thing fires, it sounds like it's just going... doesn't
even sound like a machine gun at all. It's firing so fast. The pilot sits in a
titanium bathtub basically that's surrounded by the airplane, which makes them all but
impervious to being killed.
these things are bad -ass planes, but the ATF wanted them. You know that?
Yes, they were requisitioning A -10 Broncos.
News of the plan came as a shock to a workforce already reeling from months of
disruption. Several front -line agency staff members who spoke on the condition of
anonymity for fear of retribution. Wait a minute, wait, wait, stop right there.
Did you catch that?
When agents speak anonymously because they are afraid of retribution,
what does that tell you about the corruption in that department? That tells me the
entire dad gum thing should be burnt down. They said the cuts would lead to
hundreds of layoffs, good. And effectively in the ATF's role as a serious regulator
of gun sales. Good. If they are not reversed by the White House or Congress.
John Feinblatt, who is part of, he's the president of the civilian disarmament cartel
known as Every Town for Gun Safety. He said, "These are devastating cuts "to law
enforcement funding "and would undermine ATF's ability to keep communities safe from
gun violence. Mr. Feinblatt, number one, I think you're an ass.
Secondly, if they could keep the communities safe from gun violence, there would be
no gun violence now. You're welcome, yeah. That's an advocacy,
that's a gun control group founded by Mikey and Nandy Boy Bloomberg out of New
York. Mr. Feinblass said this budget would be a win for unscrupulous gun dealers.
You mean the criminals on the street selling them or the ATF? Because most gun
dealers are not unscrupulous people. Yeah, any mistakes they make are inadvertent.
They don't mean to. These little clerical errors and such that they were shut down
for under Biden's years.
Ugh, unscrupulous gun dealer. You don't even know what you're talking about, fine
-blat. You're a clueless, willfully ignorant brain jackass, and you always have been.
Once again, the most unscrupulous arms dealers, fine -blat,
are criminals, and they sell them to other criminals. The problem is not licensed
gun dealers. The inspection program is already woefully understaffed,
the article says. A small percentage of the 100 ,000 or so dealers, collectors and
manufacturers monitored by the ATF are inspected in any given year and some licensees
can go nearly a decade without facing routine regulatory scrutiny. Okay,
good. Yeah, that's good. You think I'm being an idiot here?
You think that I am promoting bad people getting guns? That's not the case.
These guys paid for a license. They took all the training the ATF had to offer.
They've been following the rules as closely as they can. And anybody who's ever run
a firearms business knows that it is absolutely 100 % impossible to maintain 100 %
compliance because the rules change, the forms change, they always change it and
always in favor of the Alpha Tango Foxtrot. Never in favor of the people, okay?
Well, they can go nearly a decade without facing routine regulatory scrutiny.
Okay, and yet the most prolific dealers and arms to criminals are still other
criminals and not licensed gun dealers. Why don't y 'all try some of that regulatory
stuff on some of the actual bad dudes out there on the street stealing guns,
sending in straw purchasers to buy them and whatever else? Why don't you pay them a
little visit and tell them how bad they're doing business? The inspections have
nonetheless become a target of Republicans who view them as an intrusion into gun
rights And that's because they are Because they are part of a massive federal
infringement program The that's created far more criminals than it is ever prosecuted.
I can assure you that But ATF officials law enforcement groups and gun control
activists see such routine monitoring as a fundamental safeguard against abuses that
have led to retail outlets, uh, to become sources for criminals and straw purchasers
paid to buy guns for unqualified people. Okay.
Name the outlets. Yeah. But in straw purchasers are very difficult to catch.
Yes. We go through a lot of, uh, intercompany training where I work to catch some
of these people, little subtle hints they give off. We are very vigilant about this
because we don't want guns going to evil people's hands. We had a couple try to do
a straw purchase on us recently.
So we're already on board with that. You don't have to come convince us that it's
a bad thing to let bad dudes get guns, okay? But name the outlets you're talking
about name them because again, I You say it's true,
but you never give an example and yes again straw purchasers They're impossible to
catch for all intents and purposes. I mean some of them give off clues, but not
all of them just because straw purchasers have been been made at a particular store
doesn't mean the store owner is culpable in those purchases. If he's been fooled,
if he was lied to, if they lied on a federal form, there's not much we can do
about it. Should we hook him up to a lie detector test? A spokesman for the
Justice Department had no comment. Attorney General Pam Blondie has already rolled
back a range of Biden -era gun control measures, including a crackdown on FFLs who
falsify business records and skip customer background checks. You see the way that's
phrased? It's as though many gun dealers intentionally falsify their business records
when what they're actually referencing is the clerical errors By all these dealers
that shut all these dealers down by all these unscrupulous ATF agents. That's really
what it was. These were simple, honest mistakes and they were shut down and run out
of business. For simple, honest mistakes. There is no rampant falsification of records
in the firearms industry and feel free to prove me wrong. And so she also uh,
the ATF to review two other major policies, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Uh, one
concerning pistol braces and other word concerning FRTs and things like that. Um,
but, uh, for the most part, I don't like the fact that,
uh, uh, uh, I don't like this merger happening. I don't, I don't like the fact
that they're doing this. they can complain about the ATF being downsized all they
want, but that's one of the best things that could probably ever happen. The last
of the article says the ATF, a division of the Justice Department, it used to be a
division of the IRS, has been ravaged by the departure of key career personnel and
the diversion of dozens of agents from core duties to immigration enforcement, leaving
it rudderless, demoralized, and leaderless. You mean like Mrs.
Malinowski felt when the ATF came into her home and smoked her husband right in
front of her during their unnecessary raid on her home? Yes, for reasons yet
unknown, they still have not come out with a disclosure of what crime he allegedly
committed that led to his death. Her husband, Brian had committed no crime,
had violated no law, or even any ATF rule for that matter, but because some agent
felt that he had to play cowboy against a man that all his fellow agents said,
and said they knew full well that he was not a danger and not a threat to them,
and they, because they claimed Brian was selling guns as an unlicensed Taylor, he's
now dead over a $200 license, but you want to make nice with these disgusting swine
at the ATF? No thank you. Be right back with more right after this brief commercial
timeout and we'll be looking at how Ms. Pam Blondie, she's not backing down from
this merger of the ATF with the DEA, and I'll explain that when we come back.

We've been discussing the merger between the ATF and the DEA what I call a match
made in hell Anything with two heads is a monster never forget that but the federal
government is wanting to create such a monster And it's going to be at the
direction of our new head of the DOJ miss Pam Blondie Who is for all intents and
purposes?
constitutionally dyslexic Yeah, I'll just leave that right there. But here's an
article by Kim Edwards. And the title is Bondi not backing down from merging ATF
with DEA. And if you don't follow Kim Edwards, oh, you should. You can do that at
bearingarms .com. He's a great writer and a staunch second amendment proponent.
The article says the proposal to merge the BATFE and the DEA has been almost they
reviled by both Second Amendment organizations and gun control organizations,
groups, as well as the firearms industry. Attorney General Pam Blondie gave her full
support to the idea on Monday during an appearance before a House Commerce Justice
Science Appropriations Subcommittee hearing. Boy, that's a mouthful. Yes,
of course, she did give heed to this. She is constitutionally toned deaf anyway. I
said, well, um, and I'm going to paraphrase a lot of this because I roiced up this
article by can I said, with all the civilian disarmament cartels, loudly and openly
worrying about what the merger would do as far as hollowing out the ATF and neuter
their ability to infringe the rights of peaceable Americans, A lot of these Second
Amendment organizations like GOA, and you need to be a member of them, are concerned
that the opposite would happen. It would become a supercharged federal agency that
would treat the firearms industry and gun owners in general with nothing short of,
you know, what should I say, perpetual suspicion. Well, just think. Two agencies that
have a history of committing horrible human and civil rights violations against
American citizens. They're now combining forces. What could possibly go wrong? Blondie
told lawmakers that guns and drugs go together and the merger would be a great
marriage between these two agencies. What?
Yeah, these two dysfunctional agencies bloated with violent and constitutionally
dyslexic scumbags with God complexes who've never been held accountable for their
violence, murder and lawlessness, both of whom want to be in charge. Yeah, sounds
like marriage made in hell, absolutely. But what is she talking about? Guns and
drugs go together. I got something to say about that in just a minute. She said
They're working hand in hand on task forces already. Now they'll be working under
one umbrella and it's going to be great for our country.
Really? The answer to righting the wrongs of this tyrannical agency is found in
combining it with another into a big two -headed monster. Yeah, that's going to be
so great for our country there, Pammy. Oh, my word, lady.
By the way, guns and drugs go together. That's a slap in our face.
No, they don't. Guns and illegal drugs do not go together. I'm getting ahead of
myself, but I'm going to talk about that in just a second.
Blondie's comment is a prime example of why Second Amendment groups are so alarmed
by the proposal. Guns and drugs do not go together and either recreate.
are lawfully possessed and used by tens of billions of Americans daily.
By the way, also lumping guns and illegal drugs together automatically lumps gun
owners together with the illegal drugs and the illegal drug trade.
You understand that, lady? When you said that, that's what you did. You created that
association and I absolutely guarantee blank until you that the gun control cartels
are gonna seize upon what you said. See she even said guns and drugs go together.
Oh don't you doubt me on this they're gonna do it. I bet you money. It also helps
further the incessant false narrative that guns are bad due to such an association
with illegal drugs, and it adds to the media engendered stigma on firearms and
firearms owners. Very piss -poor choice of words, lady.
The overwhelming majority of firearms are owned by peaceable, responsible citizens.
The overwhelming majority of illegal drugs are not. Bad association, moron.
And then she says bureaucracy has been around for a very long time. Okay,
so that's an excuse for keeping it around longer. Bureaucracies are not even
constitutionally lawful entities, lady. She finishes by saying, "And just because
things have been done one way for decades and decades, does it mean that it's the
most efficient way to do them in the future?" Uh, Pammy, honey.
The efficiency of the ATF has not once been a concern for law -abiding gun -owning
Americans. Has not been the concern of gun owners of America or firearms policy
coalition or Second Amendment foundation. None of them have raised cane about the
lack of efficiency in the ATF. Conversely, the ATF's violence,
the false charges they've levied against innocent people like Larry Vickers and Pada
Damiac, among many others, and the tyranny they've wielded against the citizenry have
been a concern for us, and that's not being addressed here at all.
Why not, lady? Hmm? Said after living through the Biden administration's weaponization
of the ATF, the gun industry was looking forward to resetting its relationship to
the agents there with the agency. No we were not. No we were not. No, I don't
know who the heck you think you were talking for and about, but we don't think any
such thing. And they have had mostly high praise for acting ATF director Dan
Driscoll, well that's probably because we don't know him yet. And deputy ATF director
Robert Cicada over the previous months as the pair have sought to treat gunman gun
makers and sellers as partners. No, you're not our partners.
Yeah. When you begin to take the same risk that we do in business, when you begin
to add your money to our businesses and and worked along hours in our businesses,
then you can tell, then you could probably say that you're our partners. You can
tell us that then, but you're not. Yeah.
She said that, uh, as part to treat the sellers and makers as partners,
not adversaries in the fight against illegal gun trafficking and violent crime.
Well, when the agency in charge of fighting the gun trafficking, when they are the
gun traffickers themselves, that kind of changes focus, doesn't it?
And whether or not they treat us as adversaries or not, doesn't matter. The fact is
that 99 % of gun owners see this agency as the corrupt monster that it is.
It's a monstrous, murderous, lawless infringement machine that needs to be burned to
the ground and have the ashes scattered in a septic tank. Bondi said the department
is reorganizing the ATF and she stated, we will not be having ATF agents go to go
to the doors of gun hunters in the middle of a night, asking them about their
guns, period. They'll be out on the street with the DEA, Yeah,
beating on people's doors, mm -hmm. Now, you might not have them out there doing
such things Blondie But since you're leaving this bureau This bureau that embodies
the antithesis of the constitutional liberty can enshrine therein You're leaving this
bureau in place Not just leaving it in place You are supercharging it now by
merging it with another threat to our freedom. And the next communists that enters
the White House will indeed be using them to go beat on gun owners doors in the
middle of the freaking night. Why? You left them in place with your inaction. Just
like the Supreme Court left assault weapons bands in place with their inaction.
This is what pisses us off. We Americans see y 'all up there and we tell you what
the Constitution says and you claim to say that you know it and You claim you
understand the Constitution and yet you get up there and you do crap like this And
you don't do what you're supposed to do and you do a lot of crap You're not
supposed to do and then wonder why we get ticked off at you. This is why you are
tone deaf all of you so ma 'am The fact is that the ATF is staffed with domestic
enemies of the Constitution that are unaccountable to anybody and thus they should be
disbanded, not tamed and harnessed to use against the bad guys, quote unquote.
Oh boy, this is the kind of crap that we're dealing with here. Ah,
I mean, the tone deafness of our elected officials and not just elected ones,
the appointed ones, under presidents like President Trump or President Biden or any
of the other presidents. The ATF cannot be trusted to the point that they need to
be absorbed by another agency and if the DEA and the FBI have also been proven
themselves to be criminally tyrannical, how could merging two of these agencies
together be considered a good idea? So Pammy, what we really demand that is that
you arrest and prosecute all ATF agents involved with the death of Brian Malinowski,
all of those involved with railroading Patrick Adamiak with false evidence and
manufactured evidence and Larry Vickers, who was also treated the same way and would
you arrest those agents and you begin to throw them into the same jail they put
other people into and also all the ones that were shutting down gun stores under
Biden when you start doing that then we'll smile upon your efforts a little bit
more favorably. You don't get to stand up there in front of news cameras and tell
us that you're fixing the issues with these criminal agencies by merging two
on the next episode. Stay in contact with your reps. Let them know what you think
about this moronic merger between the DEA and the ATF. Let them know your thoughts
about all gun control, that all gun control laws are constitutionally abhorrent,
and they should all be stricken, because none of them can be reconciled with the
text and history thereof. Tell them your thoughts, be polite, but be firm.
And if you have to tell them they're, well, never mind, don't do that. Be firm, be
polite. All right, stay trained up, especially if you listen to the last episode,
stay trained up, stay armed up, start stocking up on ammo, canned goods, food, more
guns if you need it, and start doing some training because we may be under a major
threat here on the homeland before too long. Game day may be upon us very soon.
Never forget, incoming rounds always have the right of way. Royce out.
