    Pure theater. It’d never pass the senate, or the house really, and even if the senate passed it Biden would veto it.

    What the house does have the power to do, though, is remove funding for the ATF. They can do that all by themselves.

    Gaetz is an intelligent man, he knows this. Therefore this bill is just theater.
     
    There is another bill out currently that is similar, but is not for removal of ATF in its entirety. It aims to remove NFA restrictions.

    If this were to pass it doesn’t mean the nfa and others laws would go away. Their enforcement would just go to another agency. And it could be MUCH worse because they would be able to form it with all the teeth they want. Of course it would need a super huge budget and increased authority.

    Beware of what you ask for.

    Is abolition of the atf all that he’s asking for? Or could we maybe make them step 1…and then just keep going?
     
    Easy cheap political points, won't happen. Unfortunately usually these headlines are by politicians in the news for other less savory things and they're trying to score some points by going for single issue voters that will make up for the others they're getting less of.
     
    If any other Republican would come out a sponsor this Bill it may have a chance. But because he did, it has no chance of getting out of committee. He's poison right now.
