GOP Reps. Boebert, Burlison introduce bill to abolish the ATF

Reps. Lauren Boebert, R-Co., and Eric Burlison, R-Mo., have introduced a bill to abolish the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF).

“I 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’m eager to continue this effort with Rep. Burlison to defend our constitutional rights," said Boebert in a statement. The ATF should be abolished before they eventually abolish our Second Amendment,” 

Burlison argued that the ATF is "emblematic of the deep-state bureaucracy that believes it can infringe on constitutional liberties without consequence."

“If this agency cannot uphold its duty to serve the people within the framework of the Constitution, it has no place in our government," he said.
