1️- Massive 14.1% ATF Budget Increase to Facilitate Biden’s Pistol Ban

By the time this bill is passed, @ATFHQ will have increased by nearly 25% since the Trump Administration. This money rewards the Biden Administration's tyranny over gun owners. 😠

2️- 50% Budget Increase for ATF’s Tracing Center that Maintains an Illegal Near-Billion Record Gun Registry

18 U.S.C. 926(a)(3) makes federal gun registration illegal yet @ATFHQ has nearly a billion firearms, serial numbers, & gun owners names in a digital searchable database🤔

3️- $700+ Million in Funding Available to Bribe States to Pass “Red Flag” Gun Confiscation Laws

A MASSIVE pool of grant money known as Byrne-Justice Assistance Grants are now available to fund state gun confiscation laws.

Thank @JohnCornyn for this #guncontrol!

4️- Directing VA Medical Centers to Utilize Confiscation Orders on Vulnerable Veterans

Vets deserve the best care our nation has to offer, not #gunconfiscation for going to the doctor! This will only serve to discourage veterans from going to get the care they need 😔

5️- Department of Education to Push “Safe Storage” of Parents’ Firearms

It is no ones business how a parent chooses to setup for home defense. It's certainly no business of @usedgov

Gun owners need ready access to firearms to defend their families from home invasions! 🛡️

6️ - Funding for @DeptVetAffairs to Maintain “Gun Storage Maps” to Keep Tabs on Where Veterans Keep Guns

So-called "safe storage" laws lead to outrageous invasions of privacy like this. Now, VA will keep MAPS of where vets keep their GUNS in their own HOME! 🏠

7️ - New Annual Compensation for Families of Deceased ATF Agents...

... could this be an indication of upcoming gun confiscation?🤔

8️- Gun Control Earmarks for “Orchid Healing Circles” and More!

Check out the MILLIONS in pork spending in this bill JUST for anti-gun Members of Congress' #guncontrol pet projects 🤯

9️- Dickey Violations Galore While CDC Suppresses Self-Defense Statistics

Get ready for more biased statistics for anti-gunners to use to support #guncontrol all while @CDCgov censors defensive gun use research that strongly supports the #SecondAmendment from its website 🗑️🔥

🔟- Programs Discouraging Women from Exercising their Second Amendment Rights

Even the name of this program blames guns not domestic abusers. If Congress wanted to help domestic violence victims, we would empower them to exercise their #SecondAmendment right to #selfdefense! 🏋️‍♀️

1️1️- Anti-Gun “Community Violence Intervention” Initiatives

@EricAdamsforNYC used these funds to “rebuild [NYC’s] anti-gun unit.” Who knows what your local anti-gunner has in store for your community with these grants! 👮

1️2️- “Violent Anti-Government Ideology” & “Domestic Radicalization Research”

The 2A was written to protect the right to keep & bear arms against infringement by a tyrannical government & empowers gun owners to resist tyranny. Perhaps lawmakers need a text & history lesson!
