Bill Would Abolish the ATF<\/a><\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

Representatives Eric Burlison (R-MO-07) and Lauren Boebert (R-CO-04) on Tuesday\u00a0introduced H.R. 221<\/a>, a bill that is simple and succinct: \u201cThe Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is hereby abolished.\u201d<\/h2>\n
\n

\u201cThe ATF is emblematic of the deep-state bureaucracy that believes it can infringe on constitutional liberties without consequence,\u201d Rep. Burlison said in a\u00a0press release<\/a>. \u201cIf this agency cannot uphold its duty to serve the people within the framework of the Constitution, it has no place in our government.\u201d<\/em><\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Cosponsor Congresswoman Boebert agrees.<\/h2>\n
\n

\u201cI cannot imagine under any circumstance or administration where the ATF serves as an ally to the Second Amendment and law-abiding firearm owners across America. As co-chair of the Congressional Second Amendment Caucus, I\u2019m eager to continue this effort with Rep. Burlison to defend our constitutional rights. The ATF should be abolished before they eventually abolish our Second Amendment,\u201d Rep. Boebert said in the\u00a0release<\/a>.<\/em><\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The\u00a0bill<\/a>\u00a0was cosponsored by seven Republican representatives, Andy Biggs (R-AZ-05), Mike Collins (R-GA-10), Bob Onder (R-MO-03), Andy Ogles (R-TN-05), Mary Miller (R-IL-15), Keith Self (R-TX-03), and Paul Gosar (R-AZ-09).<\/h2>\n

In addition to getting rid of the ATF, the\u00a0press release<\/a>\u00a0says Rep. Burlison is preparing legislation to repeal the 1934 National Firearms Act, or NFA, which he said, \u201cunjustly taxes, registers, and restricts American gun owners.\u201d<\/h2>\n
