    You should educate yourself on the various federal agencies and their respective areas of expertise.

    As “the only moderate here,” one would think you’d have some respect for the historical need for governmental agencies to apply regulations on behalf of the legislators. House/Senate lawmakers don’t know shit about these specialties. Nor do they have the bandwidth to take on the minutiae of these agencies.

    No easier way to grind the state to a halt than to force congress to take on all the rule making that these institutions do. Just stupid

    Putting this here because it sorta fits given SCOTUS ruling.

    https://www.wcax.com/2024/06/21/new-...estic-abusers/

    Interesting idea. St J is in a rural area. Definitely lots of gun owners. Hopefully abusers who want help won't be deterred.

    And I initially skimmed past this article. But I did a double take when I realized it was for abusers, not abusees.

    Sure, but not rewrite a law. They can't rewrite laws. That is absolutely specifically the power of the legislature. There is some argument about their leewayto interpret them, but they have ZERO legal authority actually change the wording of the law itself.

    I also wouldn't call this minutiae. Thatis a huge stretch.

    But ok, whatever the ATF does is great as long as its antipathic to legal gun ownership, and they could never do anything bad ever. Impossible.

    You guys are fucking nuts.

    Leroy, you ignorant slut. You are dealing with people here who are tethered to reality
    It seems your fellow anti gunners are in profound fundamental disagreement with you, and do not value the rule of law, or separation of powers.

    I sincerely hope you reflect on this.

    Regardless of where you stand on guns, in a free country, laws should be simple, easy to follow, and not purposely vague, hard to understand. TheATF 'engaged in thebussiness rule' completely fundamentally redefines gun sales, without legislative input, and worst ofall, its not an easy rule to understand or follow. Its not legalese, its just, vague and could be applied to literally anyone who sells a gun ever.

    The pistol brace thing was also entrapment. They told us for 10 years that even according to the ATF, these are legal. Then basically overnight they want to turn it into a felony. Without the legislative bodies.


    There is a way to go about things, and a way not to. From everything I can see, they aren't trying to make anyone safer, they just want to be able to send more people to jail. Not thepeople running hard drugs and in gangs that are the vast majority of the violence problem. But just average gun owners.


    Its all getting shot down in the courts though, and while you guys might deal withyour cognitive dissonance by just doubling down on your irrational beleifs, every liberal I know in my personal life, that say things like "It should be harder to get a gun" can see this stuff is a huge problem. Shocked gasps when I tell them about this stuff.

    So all this is a great advertisement against gun control.

    The troll is being trolled. He’s been triggered and can’t stop posting, does he ever get off that exercise bike? He’s quoted the same TBS post like 4-5 times now, responding differently each time. Does anyone know Leroy irl? Could we send a cruiser by for a wellness check?

    That shock is not because of what you’re saying. It’s them realizing they are talking to an unhinged lunatic.

    Lol, why cus I type a lot and want to ruin your guys little circle jerk where you fantasize about sate violence against citizens?

    And threaten me with a wellness check? My wellness is just fine thanks. Good job showing you guys want to call the cops on someone just for disagreeing with you. Thanks for proving how nuts you are.


    Seems more like you guys are experiencing cognitive dissonance when seeing the ATF doing something unconstitutional.

    Thanks for continuing to show what you are really after, and that you don't actually care about anyones safety.

    What are you going to tell the cops when you call them "I'm scared someone is using an exercise bike too much because they disagree with me on the internet?"

    How does my post show that I don’t care about anyone’s safety? We’re just making fun of you. Correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t you post that you post here while on your exercise bike?

    Oh I get you're making fun of me, I mean, its not hard to figure out. I've been ok with that this entire thread.

    The thing is, threatening to needlessly call the cops on someone maliciously, isn't something a normal person ever jokes about. I never have, even once in my life.

    Its you telling on yourself. You get off on the fantasy of the government doing violence against gun owners on your behalf, regardless of whether or not they area threat to anyone.

    Civil war isn't a conservative fantasy. Its your fantasy.



    And you spend more time here than I do. I don't think theres a day I've spent more than 10 minutes on this site in a long time. You love talking about and thinking about violence. Its just so rich. You baselessly accuse me of fantasizing about violence, based on a 10k mile leap of logic you had to make to distort a reasonable rational statement I made into something else, while you literally openly threaten and fantasize about violence being commited against me, for no other reason that, GASP I disagree with you.

    King Gaslighter strikes again. I’ve never posted about anything you describe in the above post.

    If you know we’re making fun of you how can you say the things you do in the next breath? Making a joke about getting you a wellness check isn’t maliciously calling the cops and something a normal person would ever do. Would a normal person make a post calling someone’s wife a whore who spreads disease around?

    Ummm, anyone including citizens, PACs, ATF, whoever, can write and rewrite the language to laws. Legislators’ jobs are to vote to pass that wording and make it law. Then the executive branch signs. Judicial branch interprets what was passed. Leroy-you’ve clearly never watched Schoolhouse Rock.

    I mean yea, Cisco's wife is a whore. I say this because when he asked me not to talk about his wife, he didn't ask and instead narscissctically demanded and called me boy, which shows not only a huge amount of entitlement, but a complete inability to understand that other people are individuals that exist separate than him and won't be motivated to do his bidding if he deliberatly disrespects them while demanding it.

    So yea pretty normal stuff, especially for online message boards.

    No, normal people don't joke about maliciously weaponizing the police. Thats not a joke to most folks.

    alk abotu king gaslighted, you literally can't decide between denying that you said these thigns, and defending them as harmless. Choose one strategy, you look insane when you try to say 'i never said anything like that be when I did say that it was a harmless joke and it doesn't say anything about me as a person that I get off on jokes about state violence against people I disagree with"


    it wasn't a joke. it was a threat. Thanks tho.

    Yea and this bypassed this entire process. Thats the point

    I like how 'tethered to reality' you guys are.


    I used to think you guys actually valued safety and were willing to trade freedom for it, but I'm seeing how that what you really believe in is authority.

    I’ve never talked about gun confiscation in this thread or made any reference to using violence against US citizens to confiscate their weapons. I’ve never made a threat to you in this thread or on this forum. I made a joke about getting you a wellness check because you’re clearly mentally unstable and making unfounded claims about forum members and veiled threats.

    I vote that you get banned from this forum or at least get an extended time out. I doubt that anyone that participates here would be against that. You’re a self admitted troll and shit poster, only here to trigger people that don’t agree with you. These are things that you’ve openly admitted to.

    You are a gaslighter, see your post above. It’s the definition of gaslighting. I know you’re “just having fun” but it’s beyond tiresome for everyone involved. I’m sure you’ll make some rambling post gaslighting everyone and telling me I posted things I never did.

    Lol, veiled threats? what veiled threats have I made? Thats literally what you just did and passed it off as a joke?

    Specifically point out a veiled threat I have made. You will find none.

    You're projecting, crazy person.
