Days later, Patel was appointed as Acting Director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF).
The ATF is the only governmental organization in charge of enforcing our nation’s gun laws, regulating the gun industry, and is our primary defense against illegal gun sales.
Kash Patel is a man without governmental or law enforcement experience and shares an extremist view of the Second Amendment with groups like Gun Owners of America, who have called for the ATF to be abolished.
Confirming him to lead the FBI was dangerous itself, but ceding power of the ATF to him puts all American lives at risk.
