Abolish the ATF & Repeal the NFA

Petition to my U.S. Representative and Senators

WHEREAS: The ATF continues abusing its power by usurping congress to make law through arbitrary rule changes that turn law-abiding gun owners into criminals; and

WHEREAS: The ATF has repeatedly overstepped their authority to ban scores of firearms and accessories with no act of Congress whatsoever; and

WHEREAS: The ATF has illegally acquired nearly ONE BILLION 4473 "background check" forms to pin down how many and which Americans are purchasing firearms; and

WHEREAS: The ATF is doubling down on their illegal universal gun registration scheme by trying to change the definition of a “Dealer in Firearms"; and

WHEREAS: Whether it's their involvement in unwarranted FFL raids, the Waco Siege, or Operation Fast and Furious -- which left one U.S. Border Patrol Agent and hundreds of Mexican citizens dead -- the ATF has earned a reputation as a brutish government agency that cares little about law-abiding citizens or our Bill of Rights;

WHEREAS: The ATF is a rogue unconstitutional government agency that regularly abuses the unconstitutional National Firearms Act.

THEREFORE: On behalf of pro-gun Texans, I urge you to vote "YES!" on H.R. 221 or any bill that would ABOLISH THE ATF & pass H.R. 335 or any bill that would REPEAL THE NATIONAL FIREARMS ACT.

A Message  from the President

Freedom Loving Texan,

The ATF is an out-of-control, rogue agency that has spent decades trampling your Second Amendment rights under the guise of “enforcement.”

The National Firearms Act (NFA) -- an unconstitutional law from a bygone era that gives unelected bureaucrats the power to dictate which guns, accessories, and parts you’re “allowed” to own.

In fact, the ATF has abused the NFA to make numerous federal “rules” that have been overturned by the courts -- including TWO protecting Texas Gun Rights members from the ATF's ban on pistol stabilizing braces and forced reset triggers.

But their rules have criminalized MILLIONS overnight.

Not only that, but they’re also digitizing nearly a billion firearm records -- creating what looks a lot like a national gun registry (something that federal law specifically prohibits).

And they continue enforcing the NFA as a political weapon to intimidate gun owners and expand their own power.

Let’s be honest: The ATF isn’t broken. It’s doing exactly what it was created to do -- disarm you, one rule change at a time.

But if we don't repeal the NFA as we Abolish the ATF, any other three letter agency is all but guaranteed to continue abusing it in a war on gun owners under future administrations.

If you believe the Second Amendment means exactly what it says -- "shall not be infringed" –- I’m asking you to do two things right now:

1. Sign the petition demanding full repeal of the NFA and the complete abolition of the ATF.

2. Make your most generous contribution to help TXGR mobilize more Texans in defense of the right to keep and bear arms.

Thank you for your support of Texas Gun Rights!

For Texas and Liberty,

Chris McNutt
President, Texas Gun Rights
