Every gun store in the country should start ordering more guns, ammunition and accessories and selling them as fast as they can. They should hire more staff; maintain a sufficient inventory and make sure they have trainers who can teach first-time gun owners’ safety, in addition to how to operate their new firearms.
Owning a firearm should never be treated like a crime. Unfortunately, it is in at least 20 states. This needs to stop immediately. Americans have had enough of state firearm laws that are not even constitutional, which treat gun ownership as though it’s something criminal in nature.
Many blue states do not even allow a legal gun owner to store a loaded firearm. It’s actually hard to believe, especially for those of us who live in free states.
The ATF has not offered any help on this. In fact, they are the ones who want a confused customer base. The ATF wants us to believe they’re the firearms authority, even though they can’t disassemble a Glock or answer simple questions.
This too has to stop.
Firearm manufacturer Brandon Herrera has announced he wants to be named ATF Director.
“The ATF hasn’t had a director that actually understood the firearms industry or been a part of the community it’s responsible for regulating since its founding. We have the power to change that,” Herrera said in a Tweet.
“If I were to be considered for Director of the ATF, in my first 100 days I have a plan to hack, slash, and cripple that agency in ways it could never recover from. And when I’m done, I will ask President Trump to disband the agency entirely,” he said in another.
ATF’s current director Steve Dettelbach showcased his complete firearm ignorance in March on CBS’ Face the Nation. Dettelbach was also the first ATF director to say how harmful “assault weapons” were to his mission. He wasn’t able to define an assault weapon, however, telling lawmakers he was “not a firearms expert.”
Perhaps Herrera is right.
Perhaps it’s time for Dettelbach and the ATF to just go.
