ICYMI: @Rep_Clyde & @RepTedBudd ROASTED @ATFHQ for the new "proposed rules," which are actually gun control by executive fiat

Reps. Clyde & Budd are the only Federal Firearms License holders (FFLs) in Congress! Check out their letter in defense of YOUR #SecondAmendment rights!⤵

"As federal firearm licensees turned Members of Congress, we see right through @ATFHQ's CHARADE to chip away at the #SecondAmendment & unilaterally expand its own influence and authority.

"We urge you to reverse course immediately. (1/7)

"It was Congress that defined the term 'firearm' in statute, not @ATFHQ

"But the ATF, through executive overreach, is positioning itself to blatantly usurp Congress's legislative authority by proposing broad & arbitrary definitions of industry terms[!] (2/7)

"This is another expansion of power and another step towards establishing a national registry of firearms or firearm owners, AN ACTION PROHIBITED BY LAW. (3/7)

"@ATFHQ's maligned intent is evident & purposeful as the agency continues its partisan effort to fulfill the @JoeBiden administration's radical gun control agenda (4/7)

"The American people recognize the ATF's proposed actions for exactly what they are: blatant attempts to dismantle the natural right to self-defense—enshrined in the Constitution—that allows them to exercise and defend all other enumerated rights. (5/7)

"The Founding Fathers knew the first step towards tyranny is to disarm the citizenry

"They enumerated this foundational right to keep & bear arms to ensure the American people had the ability to protect themselves from a treacherous government that sought tyranny (6/7)

"We are deeply troubled by the fact that the @ATFHQ appears more interested in attacking the Constitution than it is in upholding it

"[W]e urge you to join us in upholding the Constitution and withdraw the proposed regulations immediately"
