Patriot,
After months of delays and trying to round up enough votes, the U.S. Senate is due to vote on Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) Director nominee Steve Dettelbach today!
Last year, you and thousands of other patriots shut down the nomination of gun-grabber David Chipman. But now the Deep State has put forward an even more extreme anti-gun fanatic, Steve Dettelbach.
So it should come as no surprise that the same Deep State that wants judges to dismantle the rule of law in America also wants an anti-gun fanatic in charge of the ATF.
You helped defeat the Deep State’s first pick, David Chipman, last year because he quite clearly didn’t want to uphold the Second Amendment. Dettelbach is no different and even worse.
When Dettelbach ran for Attorney General of Ohio, his platform included:
* A total ban on household firearms like the AR-15, the most popular rifle in America, and the magazines needed to
use them. He campaigned on bringing felony charges against millions of law-abiding Americans who own these rifles.
* Creating a national firearms registry, something that is illegal under the law. This is a critical piece of the left’s long-term plan to confiscate all firearms.
* Prohibiting gun owners with a variety of misdemeanor convictions from buying firearms. The goal, of course, is to disarm millions of non-felon gun owners.

Take a stand now and shut down the nomination of Steve Dettelbach by calling both of your U.S. Senators at 202-224-3121 and demand they oppose Steve Dettelbach.
Tell your Senators: DON’T LET THIS FANATIC CONTROL THE ATF!
Dettelbach’s hatred of guns and gun owners is why Barack Obama and Joe Biden supported him when he ran for Attorney General of Ohio in 2018.
Of course, every anti-gun organization in America is supporting him for the same reason.
Dettelbach also supports “Red Flag” legislation, which is gun confiscation without due process of law.
The targets of these laws are law-abiding gun owners, who are typically the victims of false accusations by upset partners or other personal enemies. Most “Red Flag” laws do not provide penalties for false accusations, and the ones that do are basically a slap on the wrist.
Based on a mere accusation, a law-abiding gun owner is subjected to an "ex parte" hearing (a secret court proceeding in which the gun owner is not allowed to offer any exonerating evidence and isn't even informed of the hearing). Victims are almost always deemed guilty.
These laws specifically target law-abiding citizens who have not committed a crime; in other words, it’s an unconstitutional “pre-crime” program similar to what you’d expect to see in Communist China (hence the term “Red Flag”).
Tell your U.S. Senators to OPPOSE Dettelbach! You can call the Senate switchboard at 202-224-3121 and ask to be connected to your senators’ offices.
Your senators need to hear from you – especially if they are Democrats, but we both know there are enough anti-gun Republicans as well who won’t hesitate to cave so they too must be contacted . . .
. . . and they must speak out NOW and oppose Steve Dettelbach and his anti-Second Amendment views!
Biden’s poll numbers are abysmal, and Washington Swamp Democrats are very nervous about confirming an anti-gun lunatic with the midterms approaching.
The confirmation of Ketanji Brown Jackson to the U.S. Supreme Court with unanimous Democrat support (along with Republicans Susan Collins of Maine, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, and Mitt Romney of Utah) is disheartening, but it was part of a narrative they are married to.
The ATF Director is not the hill Democrats want to die on.
But don’t be fooled into thinking Senate Republicans will stand in unison against this zealot.
Weak-kneed Republicans like Iowa Senator Joni Ernst, Florida Senator Marco Rubio, and others have a history of compromising on your gun rights. Even Ohio Senator Rob Portman and Maine Senator Susan Collins have expressed their support for Dettelbach.
But with three Senate Democrats out right now with health issues, you and I have a great chance to sink this nomination by applying the pressure.
But they need to hear from you, right now.
DEMAND your U.S. Senators oppose the nomination of anti-gun fanatic Steve Dettelbach! Call the Senate switchboard at 202-224-3121 and ask to be connected to your senators’ offices.
If you and I stand together, we can stop this radical nominee, as we did David Chipman last year.
Thanks for all you do for Liberty,
