Underdog 1,593 Posted January 31, 2022 It seems that this is above their annual operating costs and is for a "task force". Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If this request is over and above their annual budget, Schumer's wet dream would roughly double ATF funding. Nothing good would come of that. Their 2019 budget was about $1.27 billion ( 2019 budget) and their 2021 budget request was for $1.67 billion--not sure what they actually got (2021 budget request). 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sniper 6,372 Posted January 31, 2022 Sure.... rule by federal mandate, instead of LAWS...... Is there still a Constitution in this country?? Is It Time Yet? ...."On Sunday, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) pushed for the federal government to allocate $1.5 billion to fund new gun control actions by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF). The New York Post reported that Schumer wants to use the funds to get the ATF behind the Interstate Task Force on Illegal Guns. The task force is ubiquitously aimed at getting illegal guns off the streets of New York. Schumer commented his desire to get the ATF involved in the task force, saying, “The ABCs of beating back the scourge of gun violence depends on three federal letters: A, T, and F.” He added, “I am pushing for $1.5 billion dollars in federal funds for the agency, so they can help with this work and do much more at the national level … Without the $1.5 billion … these plans will not have their full impact, and we need full impact to address the flow of these crime guns in our communities and across our state.” https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2022/01/30/chuck-schumer-pushes-1-5-billion-gun-control/ 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tunaman 549 Posted January 31, 2022 What are they doing with the money we already give them? They are using it to pay for the MULTIPLE PROSECUTIONS of the same'asshole criminals. These punks think they are so tough...illegally carrying an illegal gun. Why doesn't Shumer do something about the prosecutors and Judges that keep letting these lawbreakers with rap sheets a mile long back on the street. Nothing will change until the deterrent is harsh enough. Society should rid itself of these scum law breakers. They used to do it at high noon. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
