Evidence has emerged that the ATF committed financial fraud by using at least $20 MILLION in taxpayer money to illegally pad the salaries of no fewer than 108 ATF bureaucrats. | The appalling corruption really shouldn’t come as a surprise. This kind of abuse of power and blatant disregard for the rule of law is the norm at the ATF… | …This is the same corrupt government agency that is ILLEGALLY building a national gun registry of almost a BILLION records by collecting and storing gun owners’ information in a searchable digital database. | …This is the same corrupt government agency that is UNCONSTITUTIONALLY infringing on your Second Amendment rights by banning firearms through executive fiat. | …This is the same corrupt government agency that ILLEGITIMATELY puts law-abiding gun dealers out of business based solely on mistakes made by their customers. | …This is the same corrupt government agency that had no qualms about putting guns into the hands of known DANGEROUS CRIMINALS during the Fast & Furious debacle. | Next year, Joe Biden wants to increase the ATF’s budget to over $1.9 BILLION. | Instead, we’re using these reports to mount a pressure campaign to safeguard your God-given rights by forcing Congress to strip the ATF of every last dollar to infringe on your rights in an upcoming government funding bill. | The ATF is rotten to the core. | The reports from a government watchdog detail how ATF bureaucrats were overpaid MILLIONS and provided enhanced benefits after their positions were “misclassified” as law enforcement. | The whistleblower’s report also warned that the $20 million figure “significantly underreported” the fraudulent spending. | The real amount the ATF paid out in improper benefits is likely far higher! | In upcoming budget negotiations, the ATF is expecting to receive more funding to line their own pockets and enforce their unconstitutional pistol ban. | But Congress is duty bound to protect taxpayers from waste and fraud. | Gun owners like YOU can force Congress to use their power of the purse to not only block Biden’s proposed funding increase, but to completely slash all anti-gun funding to the ATF. | A government agency with a horrific track record of corruption, illegal activity, and violating the constitutional rights of Americans doesn’t deserve another penny of your tax dollars. | Erich Pratt Senior Vice President Gun Owners of America | This email was sent to: [email protected].
