If Trump does away with the ATF...

Instead of eliminating the BATFE it should be repurposed into a Federal Agency that protects the Second Amendment against local government infringement.

My M1 Carbines are soon to be infringed upon, here n Colorado.

Colorado s a beautiful state. Too bad the liberals ruined it.

Me too.
My Dad was in the 25th Inf. Div. (Tropic Lightning) stationed on the other side of Oahu when the Japs bombed Pearl Harbor.
He didn't come back to the states until 1945.
He carried a Garand through most of the Pacific battles, but later in the war got a hold of a grease gun, he said he wished he'd had it for all the jungle fighting.

I finally got a Grease Gun, but it is a Umarex replica that uses C02 cartridges to fire BB's.
An exact copy down to the weight, only difference is this BB gun has a selector switch on the bottom, safe semi and full.
And the BB version will fire with the dust cover closed or open.
High rate of fire, it's supposed to be around 1050 RPM.
The magazines hold 60 BB's, which you can go through in just a few seconds.
It's pretty accurate for being a smoothbore BB shooter, on semi auto I can nail a pop can every time at 20 yards.
The Umarex copy of the Thompson holds 30 BB's, and their copy of the German MP40 holds 52, despite being about the same length stick mags as the M3 Grease Gun.

I saw one of the Umarex M3s at the last gun show. Pretty cool looking. Filled me at first.

If Trump does away with the ATF the very next pro gun control President in Office will reinstate it and FIND A WAY to make anybody that purchased something that is illegal under the NFA a retrograde Criminal

If we want to eliminate the ATF or reduce it to a solely administrative agency, the entire NFA, much of the GCA and the entire FOA of 1986 should go. Get rid of the gun laws, you won't need cops to enforce anything.

I know, I am dreaming the impossible dream.

It wouldn't affect the laws (Actual laws) but it would stop the stupid interpretations they randomly create. I'm guessing the FBI would take over enforcement.

Then there are the state laws that one has to deal with. So it's not an open door, just the end of a useless agency.

And I don't think I'd put a stock on a revolver. There are reasons that didn't become popular back in the 1800s.

SCOTUS' overturning the Chevron Doctrine should stop that silliness... at least that was their reasoning.
