Merging ATF & DEA is a NON STARTER. This is not a solution for the weaponization of government against gun owners—this is creating a perfect tool for the next anti-gun administration. Bigger budget. Less accountability. We must dismantle all gun control & then abolish the ATF.

@WyatesL Abolish the ATF

It is better to remove the F from the ATF and then merge with DEA. A separate firearms regulation branch highlights the rights infringement.

Is this being seriously proposed?

Unfortunately.

drugs are 2A protected as part of any well regulated militia plus both offensive and defense armaments. the atf dea merger is great because then we just unite and burn it all

Yeah this sounds like a terrible idea

Less priority than the short act and HPA, in my opinion.

Terrible idea and terrifying is an understatement.

If gun control exist, even if atf gets dismantled, other agencies will still infringe our rights. Abolish ALL GUN CONTROL LAWS. They are ALL Unconstitutional, yes, ALL, even common sense gun control laws, itbis equally Unconstitutional! I didn't stutter

Merge then ABOLISH!
