'Can You Define A Child?': Thomas Massie Grills ATF Director On Agency's Youth Gun Violence Stats 

Jail for this guy. Jail for mayorkas. Jail for Garland.

AFT just murdered a man for protecting himself, from people breaking into his home, And it was the ATF breaking in. The man would of never been murdered if the AFT would of announced who they were before bashing in the door.

Less than 25k gun murders per year. 400k medical negligence deaths. This has never been about savings lives.

*_They charge ANYONE they don’t like and it’s up to the person who is charged to defend himself from a corrupt agency!!!!_*

you know the director of the ATF is lying when his lips are moving he is an agent of evil he and the agent who pulled the trigger needs to be in prison

The ATF is not the judge and jury! Every American is innocent until proven guilty. The ATF did not afford him that!

Dettelbach, I swear, is supposed to be a lawyer. He can't be straight with Congress?! Fire him.

Apparently the capacity to provide a straight answer is not required for the role of ATF chief.

He openly admits that this execution was premeditated, with the intent to make an example of the victim. DEFUND THE ATF. ... SAVE LIVES

Overreach. For control. Nothing else.

This man deserves life in prison.

Let us be clear 2A is Non- negotiable

The department of “just us”

Dettlebach can't define a child, like SCOTUS justice that can't define a woman. Both disgusting.

The more I see the ATF guy the more I realize he is a tool against we the people.

This Dettelbach contributes to the negative stereotype of lawyers. He's pure trash.

Unbelievable! This guy needs to not only be fired from his job but put in jail. 😢

Those above the law don't care about obeying the law.

17, 18, and 19 years olds ARE NOT CHILDREN.

always nice to hear “meh I dunno” as an answer to any specific question about wtf is going on at these agencies

I'm still waiting for somebody to go to prison for Fast and Furious .

The only difference between ATF and criminals is that one of them carries a badge.

Thomas Massie is a national treasure

Congress - Rewrite the law now so the ATF is forced to stop their raids.

ATF has no reason to exist

All this is to excuse his hit squad from murder charges.

Never forget ATF on April 19 1993 raised a Battle Flag over the burned body’s of women and children #Sickening

Wow, amazing nice to know the Director of the ATF assumes that the person that purchased the gun is the murderer!

HE is a DEM TOKEN we know his past with local kjds.

Thank you Thomas Massie!

What a weasel

Thank you Thomas Massie, please don't let this rest!! 🙏

The stuttering and stammering while NOT answering the asked question infuriates me. Why do they have to be so polite.

Sometimes it's asked What is a Woman . Maybe they should ask these Anti Constitutionalist's What is a LIE ?

Send this ATF Director to jail immediately

WHY DOES CONGRESS NOT HAVE THE POWER TO FLATLY COME OUT AND SAY, " ANSWER THE QUESTION WITH YES OR NO, OR YOU WILL BE HELD IN CONTENPT!"

The term: SWORN TESTIMONY has lost all of it's meaning. No ramifications for lying to Congress.

ATF statistics show a very odd way of who a child is. When asked, he says every state has their own way to define the age. 🤦‍♂️ Well then, how did you come up with these statistics? My follow-up question would be, "Then why don't you have a state by state breakdown of the numbers, instead of throwing them all into a category of your choosing?""

Massie is one of the few bright spots on that nasty little hill in DC.

@ 0:50 That is if they have the right address ....so we all are in danger

"Increased compliance" There is a gross term.

Do you actually think that a state prosecutor is going to indict a federal ATM employee ? How many of those has happened ? NONE

Funny how this coward says, "CONGRESS DID IT, CONGRESS DID IT" he is the one who gave it to Congress....

Never gives an opinion he just cites Congress to avoid it.

I’m so glad someone finally addressed the age thing. 18 and 19 year olds aren’t children in the eyes of the law and would be charged as adults.

He sounds like an activist masquerading as a law enforcement officer.

'The Business'. UGGGH!!!

It's amazing to me how many of these heads of departments 'don't know' basic information about issues directly under their control. And the fact that they sit there and say that without any embarrassment, is staggering. If the private sector operated like that, all the companies would be going out of business.

I love Rel Massey. Praying for his sweet family during this tough time

How a child is defined (age) is extremely important. The Dims have misused the inflated numbers when 18-19 yo’s are included. Furthermore if younger people are involved in gang activities and a death results, those numbers should be “managed” in a different category. The Dims are trying to paint this one number as a young child death as if it was a child that obtained an unsecured firearm and discharged it causing the death of another young child or himself. NO! Statistics depend on commonalities to be accurate. The ATF and Dims are muddling what gets counted and the definition attributed to that number. The number they cite as “child death” attributed to a firearm is extremely misleading and is not that high. Other causes such as drowning etc. would exceed child deaths by firearms. The Dims can’t have that!

This man needs to spend the rest of his life in prison and the ATF needs to be disbanded.

Never a straight answer ATF!

Brave and articulate ,Thomas Massie voice of the voiceless !

ATF must go

The strongarmming of We The People with in the Constitution and God given Right???

HOW, DOES THIS GUY STILL HAVE THIS JOB????

Fire the director! He says a lot of nothing. And looks like he doesn't even know the laws.

Massie 👏👏👏

"The 2A makes a distinction between the Military and the People. The Military --- Regulated. The People --- Shall not be infringed."

Wonder if he realizes how bad he made himself look sadly I don't think he cares.

How about let Congress make the laws

Dettelbach is a real toad,

Wow, Deffenbach is really nervous! 😂😂😂😂

Imagine having to obtain a federal license to sell newspapers. Imagine having to obtain a federal license to start or operate a church or synagogue. Imagine having to obtain a federal license to post your opinion online.

They intentionally include them all in the stats including justified and police interactions to bump up the numbers

This guy is a prosecuting attorney. That’s why he argues the way he does about what he knows nothing about.

this guy sounds like a lawyer from the mob

Federal agencies like the ATF, FBI, Environment, and IRS Should be disbanded and let each state look after its own law enforcement, serious crime investigation and tax collection.

Judges needs to be investigated for their lack of scrutiny in all search and arrest warrants. It seems like if the police want a warrant a judge just automatically signs off on it.

There is no such thing as an illegal gun. Source: The Constitution

What I do not understand is that this guy gets a lambasting of note is despite this nothing is going to happen to him, his staff and department. Are you all doing this for show?

Send him the federal prison.

Cut the funding of the ATF now!!

Mic drop!

What's disturbing with witness don't need to look at past testimony should know what you said standing in truth.

If I had to guess prior to becoming a Federal Employee he was a stand up guy, but now he is a ruthless hack with no spine

Each time the Congress passes an Omnibus spending bill, they lose leverage and the respect over meant like this.

Brandon Herrera for ATF Director!

I don't understand what is so hard to understand.. "SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED".

Got him!

By far and away the best member of congress

Defund the atf SAVE AMERICANS!!!!!! SAVE LIVES!!!!!

We’ve seen an increase in freedom is what he meant to say, not non-compliance.

He never answers the questions given to him. Why didn't he just plead the fifth?

You can tell this guy is an attorney. He talks out both sides of his mouth, can't stop running his jaws because he likes hearing himself talk, and talks in circles! This guy and everyone that raided that house should be charged with murder! Period!

They like to mention Congress without ever talking to them…

A "Child" falls off their parents car insurance upon reaching the age of 25 if they are enrolled in higher education.

prison

They include everything from suicide to self defenses.

2A 1791

Defund the ATF now

Non compliance. Like speeding in a car. Thats a misdemeanor.

They DO realize that the "official statistics" count a child as 12-19, right??

Got him

I can only imagine being on the left and having to make the case against gun violence while downplaying the group that contributes the most to it.

If only someone could explain to me how a Safer Communities Act makes communities safer.

Increased compliance. Just what freedoms America was founded on. The freedoms and foundation of increased compliance. Individual civil liberties??? What??? It's about increased compliance 🤦‍♂️

Defund the ATF by 75 percent. No law enforcement, just background search capability.

These people need to look up the definition of “business”,

I don't know any state that classified 18-19 year old as children.
