Washington, D.C. – -(Ammoland.com)- Yesterday, reports emerged on the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) admitting to managing a federal database of nearly a billion gun transfer records.

This information was submitted as a response to a letter sent by Congressman Cloud (TX-27) in November 2021.

“A federal firearm registry is explicitly banned by law. Yet, the Biden Administration is again circumventing Congress and enabling the notably corrupt ATF to manage a database of nearly a billion gun transfer records,” Congressman Cloud said.

“The Biden Administration continues to empower criminals and foreign nationals while threatening the rights of law-abiding Americans. It’s shameful and this Administration should reconsider its continued attacks on American gun owners.”

Deplorable Bill

Trust the atfe???? Along with most of the country,I watched the atfe MURDER 79 innocent men, women, children and infants in Waco Tex. All of this for the supposed “crime” of not paying an unconstitutional tax of $200.00 per fully automatic firearm. When the fire was put out, the atfe said they found 4 POSSIBLE fully automatic rifles. $800.00 in unconstitutional fees/taxes is the excuse the atfe used to murder AND GET AWAY WITH IT. Then there is Ruby Ridge and hundreds of other like stories. The atfe was up for congressional investigation and they needed to “prove” their worth.… Read more »

Not only the ATF is circumventing law to create a registry but pushing the frame & receivers, pistol braces thru w/o congress approval.
A cease and desist must be issued to stop this power grab…!!!

Dogma Factor

Dear Congressman Michael Cloud what do you propose as a remedy? Perhaps Congress should withhold funding from the ATF until it’s gone or the registration database is gone. As Congress holds the power of the purse should it take action? It appears that the ATF budget is to large as they have time and funds for illegal and banded activities.

Perhaps you could start the ground work for Congressional hearings in 2022 on the ATF? That way congress could inquire about Hunter Biden and ATF’s lack of action and many other unsavory things.

It is what it is.

The fix is in & the game was rigged ago. They lie to us. We know they lie to us. Yet we continue to play their game knowing they lie to us. They rule us & they fool us over & over.

The definition of insanity is to continue to make the same mistake over & over & expect different results.

Democrats “Do as I say not as I do” that should be there next election slogan. Is anyone surprised by this article the NSA and all the alphabet government agencies have been keeping records on Americans. The NSA data center sign in front of the building in Utah reads You have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear. They stores information counted in exabytes maybe we could ask them for Hillary’s missing Emails and phone records. In 2014 the cost of this data center was at a staggering 1.5 billion that data center has the capability to process “all… Read more »
