‘We Need to Get Our Numbers Up’: Boebert Complains Americans Own a Mere 46% of All Guns in the World

BOEBERT Mr Speaker the ░░░░░░░░ s new pistol brace ░░░░░░░░ violates the separation of ░░░░░░░░ Bureaucrats don t create ░░░░░░░░ Congress does This rule ░░░░░░░░ like a law that ░░░░░░░░ never passed ATF Alcohol ░░░░░░░░ and Firearms in western ░░░░░░░░ we call that a ░░░░░░░░ weekend But D C ░░░░░░░░ have used this agency ░░░░░░░░ infringe on the rights ░░░░░░░░ the American people When ░░░░░░░░ research how many pistol ░░░░░░░░ the ATF expects to ░░░░░░░░ registered the number varies ░░░░░░░░ say 10 million others ░░░░░░░░ 20 million and it ░░░░░░░░ may even be 40 ░░░░░░░░ Why such disparity Because ░░░░░░░░ ATF doesn t know ░░░░░░░░ many are out there ░░░░░░░░ law abiding Americans do ░░░░░░░░ trust them enough to ░░░░░░░░ them In fact there ░░░░░░░░ probably going to be ░░░░░░░░ more boating accidents this ░░░░░░░░ and summer than we ░░░░░░░░ ever encountered in U ░░░░░░░░ history from law abiding ░░░░░░░░ owners We don t ░░░░░░░░ the ATF because of ░░░░░░░░ overreaching actions exactly like ░░░░░░░░ re seeing with this ░░░░░░░░ There s been a ░░░░░░░░ of talk about defunding ░░░░░░░░ ATF even abolishing the ░░░░░░░░ altogether and I m ░░░░░░░░ her waiting to hear ░░░░░░░░ good reason why the ░░░░░░░░ should remain an agency ░░░░░░░░ all and I ve ░░░░░░░░ to hear one Instead ░░░░░░░░ providing regulations that keep ░░░░░░░░ communities safe this agency ░░░░░░░░ made our communities more ░░░░░░░░ by wandering weapons to ░░░░░░░░ cartels Operation Fast and ░░░░░░░░ exposed the recklessness of ░░░░░░░░ ATF how little regard ░░░░░░░░ have for the rule ░░░░░░░░ law and Americans have ░░░░░░░░ a hard time doing ░░░░░░░░ agencies and its rules ░░░░░░░░ legitimate Think about it ░░░░░░░░ ATF had about 1 ░░░░░░░░ firearms that we re ░░░░░░░░ tracked they had tracers ░░░░░░░░ them that they were ░░░░░░░░ to known criminals during ░░░░░░░░ Operation Fast and Furious ░░░░░░░░ lost 1 700 traced ░░░░░░░░ and now they expect ░░░░░░░░ go after law abiding ░░░░░░░░ citizens for firearm accessories ░░░░░░░░ they really that competent ░░░░░░░░ go after this many ░░░░░░░░ of Americans for a ░░░░░░░░ accessory a stabilizing brace ░░░░░░░░ they had 1 700 ░░░░░░░░ firearms in the hands ░░░░░░░░ known criminals that they ░░░░░░░░ lost I think that ░░░░░░░░ proves the legitimacy of ░░░░░░░░ agency And I m ░░░░░░░░ excited to bring them ░░░░░░░░ the oversight and accountability ░░░░░░░░ so they could speak ░░░░░░░░ themselves of why they ░░░░░░░░ remain an agency in ░░░░░░░░ federal government and not ░░░░░░░░ the of appropriate features ░░░░░░░░ their agency put under ░░░░░░░░ like the FBI once ░░░░░░░░ clean that up But ░░░░░░░░ than that the Second ░░░░░░░░ it is absolute All ░░░░░░░░ regulations the bureaucrats make ░░░░░░░░ laws that bureaucrats are ░░░░░░░░ to make the unconstitutional ░░░░░░░░ that are passed by ░░░░░░░░ federal government the state ░░░░░░░░ they make our country ░░░░░░░░ safe Gun free zones ░░░░░░░░ the most dangerous places ░░░░░░░░ our country The Second ░░░░░░░░ is absolute and it ░░░░░░░░ here to stay A ░░░░░░░░ report states that Americans ░░░░░░░░ 46 percent of the ░░░░░░░░ s guns I think ░░░░░░░░ need to get our ░░░░░░░░ up boys and girls ░░░░░░░░ thank you so much ░░░░░░░░ Clyde for hosting this ░░░░░░░░ order Thank you for ░░░░░░░░ us all together on ░░░░░░░░ topic and hopefully we ░░░░░░░░ shed some light to ░░░░░░░░ American people and let ░░░░░░░░ know that we re ░░░░░░░░ against this agency and ░░░░░░░░ abuse of separation of ░░░░░░░░ Thank you and I ░░░░░░░░
