@Razgriz85 That's right. All these little shows are for is to let the conservatives that are the only people watching them know that yes ,we are breaking the law in order to destroy the country as ordered by the Biden administration, and now that you know that ,know this ,there isn't anybody going to do a diddly danm thing about it ethier
Why are any Congress members allowing the ATF to make a law. This is not how it works and the people know it. Somebody better fix this before the people have to.
It's our job to call and complain about this problem to all of our elected officials dems and repubs. Call them all and ask them why they are giving away there jobs to burocrats
Oh they understand it perfectly. But they are guilty of crimes the people don't know about yet (where did Jeffrey Epstein's money come from). Their fear is that when the people find out, they will revolt. So their only choice is to disarm us.
It's cute how you don't see it for the vote pandering it is. I really wish I shared your optimism, but both parties are fucked. The right is just driving us off the cliff at the speed limit.

Very well spoken one more time. If we do not stop and abolish the ATF we are going to end up in a civil war. The US citizens fighting off a democrat over reach. We are not that far from it now. This other subject reminds me of the ancient days of kings and lords and heavily armed tax collectors for the king going out collecting robbing the poor for the rich.

And has still hidden income form his son selling china our secrets that Biden leaves laying around his home and vacation homes for him to access.

The man doesn’t understand fire arms, knows his department/agency is abusing its power, and can’t give a single legitimate answer to questions. Regardless of your political stance, it should frighten you that there are people in control of federal agencies that have politically bias agendas and will knowingly abuse their power.

In modern times, drug manufacturers and medical device manufacturers get sued for contamination of their products with asbestos (such as residual asbestos in talc). Construction companies/builders were sued in the recent past not because asbestos was used as a thermo isolator and it worked great for it but because it was cancerous and they knowingly put it in buildings where there were other substitutes. Asbestos started seeing common use in the late 18XX's and only got its toxic effects widely known to the public in the 1970s; then it took decades for the toxic effect to build up and develop in people, which is why many law cases were seen in the 2000s. It's very similar to tobacco products. Nobody sues companies for nicotine being a good stimulant, they sue them for it being deadly. Guns are made to drop people and you can't sue the manufacturer who made a gun that does just that.
@@honpot2016 Asbestos doesn't work perfectly. It has a carcinogenic side effect. PLCAA does not prohibit law suits from being brought against firearms manufacturers when or if their firearms malfunction or have a defect that causes them to fail. Biden has mischaracterized PLCAA as preventing ANY lawsuits from being brought against firearms manufacturers, when in fact it only serves to prevent frivolous lawsuits from being brought against them when someone misuses a firearm. No one bothers to sue Ford when someone gets killed by a drunk driver in a Ford vehicle. It wasn't the fault of the Ford, it was the fault of the driver. You sue the driver, not Ford.

ex post facto law noun : a civil or criminal law with retroactive effect especially : a law that retroactively alters a defendant's rights especially by criminalizing and imposing punishment for an act that was not criminal or punishable at the time it was committed, by increasing the severity of a crime from its level at the time the crime was committed, by increasing the punishment for a crime from the punishment imposed at the time the crime was committed, or by taking away from the protections (as evidentiary protection) afforded the defendant by the law as it existed when the act was committed NOTE: Ex post facto laws are prohibited by Article I, Section 9 of the U.S. Constitution.
They wont define what an assault weapon is, because they want it to remain ambiguous. So they can put people in jail for things like having a metal card w a drawing on it, and say they were possessing machine gun parts. Next if you have any way to machine metal, and are a gun owner they will say you were planning to make machine guns.
Always wild that government employee/politicians believe MORE control from the government is what a constitutional republic needs. It's the exact system/reason America was birthed in the first place.
It's refreshing when someone holds powerful people's feet to the fire like this. It's always telling when people can't or won't answer very simple, direct questions. It's like they think that if they don't say it out loud then it isn't true or something. It's also telling when leaders of some of the most powerful government organizations in the world can't or won't answer basic questions about the jobs they hold.
Lol, yep! I counted 17 masks at the grocery store the other day. What's truly confusing is the contents of their carts...zero concern for their health there. Three of the masks were on children. The adult with one child was not masked. I sadly shook my head and kept walking.
One day I saw an old couple go by in their car and they both had masks on. And I just thought how sad that they are so afraid they are willing to not see each others faces. I thought who did this to you? Who made you fear each other so much?
Biggest issue facing us as a people is that we are not even a people - instead we are many “diverse” peoples, with nothing in common besides the most superficial consumer tastes.
@Genetics Matter, you are so wrong!! We all have more in common than we are different. You just have to strip all the media division away. If push comes to shove? We'll help each other. But why wait?😏❤
@Libertarian Ninjas They are not trying to get us to get along together .They want us divided ,and what they would love even more is if they could stoke us all enough to get pissed off and come against them with civil unrest ,especially the conservative armed patriots ...because they got a plan for that .
The government knows they cannot ban firearms .So they keep trying to do these little amendments that ban mag capacity, bump stocks, assault rifles ,ect .And you must ask ,does it change anything and make it safer when they do that ? Or not ?
Easy! The new "police" will be the gangs they let into this country from prisons in other countries and then refuse to prosecute. This is how it works in third world countries like the USA.
From what I have seen from this hearing the director keeps detracting by saying " what Congress defines/ makes law" so he will just do his job and follow orders. Think about how dangerous that is.
But am I wrong here in saying congress did not make these "rules" law? This was made up by him as rules. Meaning doing what he wants done no matter what congress passes. Yes? Straight up lied.
Everyone that works for the ATF needs to be charged under TITLE 18, U.S.C., SECTION 242 Whoever, under color of any law, statute, ordinance, regulation, or custom, willfully subjects any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured or protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States, ... shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both; and if bodily injury results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include the use, attempted use, or threatened use of a dangerous weapon, explosives, or fire, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and if death results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include kidnapping or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill, shall be fined under this title, or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, or both, or may be sentenced to death.
SHUT DOWN the ATF!!!

especially : a law that retroactively alters a defendant's rights especially by criminalizing and imposing punishment for an act that was not criminal or punishable at the time it was committed, by increasing the severity of a crime from its level at the time the crime was committed, by increasing the punishment for a crime from the punishment imposed at the time the crime was committed, or by taking away from the protections (as evidentiary protection) afforded the defendant by the law as it existed when the act was committed
NOTE: Ex post facto laws are prohibited by Article I, Section 9 of the U.S. Constitution.
I cant stop listening to OUR new Spkr of the House. He's awesome!
They wont define what an assault weapon is, because they want it to remain ambiguous. So they can put people in jail for things like having a metal card w a drawing on it, and say they were possessing machine gun parts. Next if you have any way to machine metal, and are a gun owner they will say you were planning to make machine guns.
I own a welding machine; you *couldn't stop me* from owning a gun.
You tell em Mike Johnson. Thank You and God Bless You for speaking up for what is right.✝️🇺🇲🇮🇱🙏
Always wild that government employee/politicians believe MORE control from the government is what a constitutional republic needs. It's the exact system/reason America was birthed in the first place.
And the more we get away from it , the worse our country gets .
I have so much respect for Mike Johnson 🇺🇸
It’s obvious this guy is going to do what ever he wants no matter what anyone says.
Great questioning
It's refreshing when someone holds powerful people's feet to the fire like this. It's always telling when people can't or won't answer very simple, direct questions. It's like they think that if they don't say it out loud then it isn't true or something. It's also telling when leaders of some of the most powerful government organizations in the world can't or won't answer basic questions about the jobs they hold.
I’ve loved every second of Dumbledorff getting roasted by EVERYONE!!!!
He won't admit it.. he knows damn well they can't make laws lol.
YOU TELL HIM SPEAKER JOHNSON!!!
Time to put an end to unelected agency heads making laws.
There are still people in masks?😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lol, yep! I counted 17 masks at the grocery store the other day. What's truly confusing is the contents of their carts...zero concern for their health there. Three of the masks were on children. The adult with one child was not masked. I sadly shook my head and kept walking.
One day I saw an old couple go by in their car and they both had masks on. And I just thought how sad that they are so afraid they are willing to not see each others faces. I thought who did this to you? Who made you fear each other so much?
Shall not be infringed.
Biggest issue facing us as a people is that we are not even a people - instead we are many “diverse” peoples, with nothing in common besides the most superficial consumer tastes.
As the old saying goes, "united we stand or divided we fall."
And we've been celebrating division for far too long...
@Genetics Matter, you are so wrong!! We all have more in common than we are different. You just have to strip all the media division away. If push comes to shove? We'll help each other. But why wait?😏❤
@@devastor-phil310 Diversity is Division!
@@devastor-phil310 George Soros is giddy like a little girl
@Libertarian Ninjas They are not trying to get us to get along together .They want us divided ,and what they would love even more is if they could stoke us all enough to get pissed off and come against them with civil unrest ,especially the conservative armed patriots ...because they got a plan for that .
Come get it.
I hate it when people refuse to answer questions when they are the in charge. Just answer the damn question.
i tired of these types of meetings, i want action from my elected officials
Damn Mr Johnson that was impressive we need more men like you. The atf guy needs a new shirt after that one he's sweating bullets
Sweating bullets? This guy has never been that close to a bullet in his life. Sweating soy milk maybe.
God bless Mr. Johnson, wow. Well spoken.
How can they enforce these "laws" if they defund the police?
Not a law but a rule aka regulation
ATF cannot enact laws but Congress
The government knows they cannot ban firearms .So they keep trying to do these little amendments that ban mag capacity, bump stocks, assault rifles ,ect .And you must ask ,does it change anything and make it safer when they do that ? Or not ?
Because the people doing the enforcement aren't the "police". They are federal agents and bureaucrats.
Easy! The new "police" will be the gangs they let into this country from prisons in other countries and then refuse to prosecute. This is how it works in third world countries like the USA.
That's their point.
So Pinnochio has a brother at the ATF!
No one is held accountable. Why would anyone feel scared enough to take accountability. It’s a joke
How can the Senate, in good conscience, vote to approve these people for these positions?
We could just make this simple and ditch the NFA
From what I have seen from this hearing the director keeps detracting by saying " what Congress defines/ makes law" so he will just do his job and follow orders. Think about how dangerous that is.
But am I wrong here in saying congress did not make these "rules" law? This was made up by him as rules. Meaning doing what he wants done no matter what congress passes. Yes? Straight up lied.
that "i didnt ask you a question" at the end *chef's kiss*
Wom an over his left shoulder is full of scorn towards the truth and facts. Her body language is a might LOUD
"I didn't ask you a question!" 😂
Good luck enforcing this 😂
@Mike Arnold Just unite and clean house
@Mike Arnold No... I've been outside in the vehicle way before Joey & Kackles
Defund the ATF.
It’s always funny when Ivy League intellectuals can’t answer simple questions.
The ATF needs to be dissolved
Everyone that works for the ATF needs to be charged under TITLE 18, U.S.C., SECTION 242
Whoever, under color of any law, statute, ordinance, regulation, or custom, willfully subjects any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured or protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States, ... shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both; and if bodily injury results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include the use, attempted use, or threatened use of a dangerous weapon, explosives, or fire, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and if death results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include kidnapping or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill, shall be fined under this title, or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, or both, or may be sentenced to death.
They think this is a joke
