The hearing may be watched here, beginning at 10 a.m. (EDT) / 7 a.m. (PDT) Thursday. It is headlined, “ATF’s Assault on the Second Amendment: When is Enough Enough?” “We’re proud to have Matt offering insight to the House committee,” said SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan M. Gottlieb. “Under Joe Biden, the ATF has been weaponized against law-abiding citizens, and his new budget proposal includes $1.9 billion for the agency to expand operations and increase regulation of the firearms industry.” Larosiere will offer testimony regarding the threat ATF’s overreach poses to the American people. He will also focus on the ATF’s dramatic change in policy about pistol stabilizing braces, owned by countless law-abiding citizens including many disabled military veterans who have suddenly found themselves facing possible legal action for owning a shooting accessory, which is not a firearm, that the agency previously said was perfectly acceptable. “ATF has been known for its institutional abuse of power throughout history,” said SAF Executive Director Adam Kraut. “Now, more than ever, the agency is being weaponized as a means to punish peaceable gun owners and drive small businesses out of the marketplace by inventing creative statutory interpretations surpassing the agency’s authority and scrutinizing federal firearms licensees every actions in a ‘gotcha’ manner. “With the directives from the Biden Administration,” Kraut added, “a simple mistake such as transposing a digit or placing required information in the wrong field results in license revocation, rather than a warning, under the guise of a ‘willful violation’ of the Gun Control Act. This overbearing approach does nothing to support the government’s interest in compliance and destroys livelihoods over innocent mistakes.” “Clearly,” Gottlieb said, “President Biden and Capitol Hill Democrats have decided American gun owners are their enemy. They are scrambling to restrict the Second Amendment rights of tens of millions of citizens, and create problems for the firearms industry, and they’ve unleashed the ATF to make it all happen.” ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Thank you. ​ ​ ​ Your support makes our work possible. ​ ​ Here are the companies that help sponsor the Foundation.​ ​ Copyright © 2023 Second Amendment Foundation, All rights reserved.

Amy Swearer and others were at the witness table at this same 2019 hearing when my late brother Jeff stood up in the hearing when the AWB sponsor began to speak to proclaim ”WE WILL NOT COMPLY” with a new AWB or any law like it:

So, you could say, we have a history there at the House Judiciary Committee.

ugh humpty dumpty cannot even read his notes given to him properly. Sounds like a saturday night live skit. Yeah the braces killed the people. What about following the laws on the books for criminals? sharting moron

 

[smokey]

It's always maddening to me how legislators can outright state demonstrable false things in these hearings. They have zero respect for the intelligence of the people they serve. It's probably more maddening that the people they serve justify this assumption by not fact checking their lies.

I learned a couple of thing by watching Raskin

1- He makes my blood pressure reach dangerous levels
2- If you take a handgun ( which bullets will not penetrate a bulletproof vest ) add a brace , now be considered a rifle that shoots more powerful bullets, will now magically penetrate a vest

This Wilkinson dude is a putz douche.

He has the potential to die from cancer. He is covering up his bald head or the hair trying to grow back from the Chemo. He looks stupid and is trying to gain brownie points for being a cancer patient or cancer survivor.

 

[swinokur]

If you have ever seen the rats nest growing on his head, being bald is a step up
