The Supreme Court decision effectively puts an end to the "Chevron Defense". As such, it is a minor victory. Why is it a minor victory? Recently, the Supreme Court ruled against Biden's program paying off student education loans. Did that stop Biden? Of course not, the Supreme Court has no law enforcement powers. Biden has continued what SCOTUS has ruled was illegal. And, that's just an example from the Executive branch. Now, let's talk about all the agencies, bureaus, departments of the federal government, most, incidentally, under the control of the Executive branch. These agencies are the backbone of what we call the "deep swamp" or "fourth branch of government" and have more power and control than the other branches. The FBI and the ATF are very much part of the "deep swamp". So, how, you ask, will the Supreme Court decision affect the out-of-control actions of the ATF? I believe the answer is very little or not at all. The best we can hope for is that they are taken out of their arrogant stride and slowed down a bit. Let's face it, the only way to put a noose on the neck of the ATF is to legislate it out of existence. For this to happen, we need a strong conservative (constitutionalist) in the White House, and real conservatives, with backbones, in both the House and Senate. Additionally, it wouldn't hurt to have a couple of more Supreme Court justices on the right side of the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Keep this in mind when you vote on November 5th if you're tired of the government stomping on your rights.
Thank GOD🇺🇸 The SCOTUS ruled in favor of freedom! With no thanks to Barrett who has gone rouge. “what has happened to her”. She is most likely compromised. Now the unelected bureaucrats within the ABC agencies can’t create laws anymore. Gives the power back to our elected representatives. The way it should have been. Now by electing Trump in November we can cut these agencies down to size or eliminate them completely. 🔱🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Lee, with ATF recent rules impacting private liquidation of collections… especially those comprising modern firearms, will there be a relaxation of guidelines for issuance of FFLs? Might there be a new type of FFL that facilitates the mandate that private sellers of bulk collections. Say, an applicant would be turned down because their house is not-zoned for business. Might that private person now have an action against the ATF because if the friction grown up by their new rulings. Because, up to now, private sales were not especially burdened by zoning laws. Also, as a practical matter, we know that many private collections are liquidated at gun shows. If ATF is going to require background checks, gun shows would be well served by letting table rentals be hosted by a gun show FFL to make transfers on the spot. Or ATF could issue temporary or Private Seller FFLs to sell firearms but not as a principle source of income. Historically, gun show production stays out of the middle of these transactions… at least in my state. I think we needs some clarity on the topic. Worth an article?
