    That would be awesome. With Trump as president and republicans have house and senate majority.......it may be possible. 2017 is going to be damn interesting.

    It will be like trying to defund Planned Parenthood. The MSM will make it sound as if all ability to enforce gun and alcohol laws will be removed and America will plunge into civil war, with the entire country looking like Chicago on a long weekend.

    I thought Congress just passed their budget bill and Planned Parenthood was, totally, left out (defunded). Did that pass, or did I get it wrong?

    defunding and disbanding are 2 completely different things.

    im weary on this whole thing. gun laws arent going to go away, so if the atf is gone, who is going to enforce them? were likely to end up with something MUCH worse in its place.

    Here in Canada, the Firearms Centre was downsized to being only a callcenter. the actual governmental duties were given to civilian beurocrats in the RCMP. We have since then been faced with needless banning of specific items. Most recent was Ruger 10/22 magazines over 10 shots.

    Just because your ATF is getting disbanded or defunded doesn't necessarily mean good things are coming.

    I would love to see AT and unconstitutional F go away, or at least they have the F removed from their jurisdiction. As for firearm laws, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed sums it up nicely, and if anyone complains that there will be blood on the streets, just make murder illegal, and robbery with a firearm illegal, and...

    And if a firearm is used in the commission of a crime, double the penalties, but so far life in prison and the possibility of the death sentence hasn't stopped the killings.
