According to a report by CBS News on January 10, US Representative Lauren Boebert announced that she and Congressman Eric Burlison have jointly introduced a bill suggesting the abolition of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF).
The ATF is a federal law enforcement agency responsible for enforcing federal criminal laws related to alcohol, tobacco, firearms, explosives, and arson. It often works in collaboration with federal, state, local, and international law enforcement agencies. Its main responsibilities include protecting the public from violent crime and terrorism, as well as preventing the illegal use and trafficking of firearms, explosives, alcohol, and tobacco products.
In a statement on Thursday, Boebert pointed out that the ATF infringed upon American citizens' Second Amendment rights, which guarantees the right to own and carry weapons.
The ATF should be abolished to prevent them from ultimately abolishing our Second Amendment.
Burlison added that...
The ATF exemplifies the so-called 'deep state' bureaucratic institutions that believe they can violate constitutional freedoms without consequences. If this agency cannot fulfill its duty to serve the people within the framework of the constitution, then it has no place in our government.
The proposal does not provide detailed information on how the abolition process would be carried out. When asked about whether other government agencies would fulfill the ATF's responsibilities in investigating explosives, terrorism, violent crime, and trafficking, Boebert stated, "Under the leadership of President Trump and the DOGE plan, we will have the most efficient government, eliminating the need for misleading and unconstitutional agencies like the ATF. I believe that with reformers like Kash Patel at the helm of the FBI and other American priority leaders steering our agencies, the American people will be safer than ever before.
