'Don't Do That': Byron Donalds Chides Dem Witness At Hearing On ATF And The Second Amendment 

So proud of Byron Donalds representing the American people. Genius.

Congress needs to strip the ATF of there regulatory powers

Defund the ATF! End if story!

Congress makes the laws, the ATF does not have the authority to create "rules", and then enforce them as "Laws".

Too many of these 3-lettered agencies have way overstepped their boundaries and it’s well past time to reel them back in.

Donalds is on the money here. Congress needs to stop delegating lawmaking to the Executive Branch and retract any bills or laws delegating their lawmaking ability. Stop the BS now.

Byron Donald's is a star.... this guy is destined to lead.

This Donalds guy is going places and I'm here for it

I am a totally disabled combat veteran. I NEED a pistol brace, not for committing any crime, and not for hunting, which means humping through the woods/hills etc, I'm in a wheelchair. But I do want a pistol for home defense. I wouldn't be able to carry concealed because I WOULD NEED a pistol brace. I have zero criminal record,never even been in handcuffs let alone in any kind of trouble. I just want to protect my family, and THAT WOULD MAKE ME A FELON ??? That ain't right!

God bless you Byron Donalds!!

This is the 1st time I've seen Byron Donalds but he's my damn hero now,, the guy is STRONG

Bryan’s logic gives me hope

Grateful to have Mr Donalds represent us here in Cape Coral. FL 🇺🇸

We can avoid this by DEFUNDING AND ABOLISHING THE ATF

All the more reason for Congress to repeal the NFA. They won't, but they should.

That was pleasant to watch. Very. "Shall not be infringed" shall not be infringed. Nuff said.

I love Rep. DONALDS. Wish he was my rep!

A rule is not a LAW! Congress makes laws not ATF, DEA!

“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED.”

Mr. Donalds is a freaking rock star

This is the guy we almost had as SOTH. I have ZERO problems with that!

Really like this man

I have become Byron Donald's fan. Love how he breaks it down word by word to these people on every topic. ❤

Gotta love Byron!! Common sense is so rare these days, and his is a breath of fresh air.

Way to pin their ears back Mr. Donalds

Nice work Rep. Donalds, keep it up!

It's not even the $200 at issue for most. Some states prohibit NFA items and some don't want to be on an unconstitutional list

If it's just a rule then how can you be breaking a law...

From ATF website "ATF makes the gun laws. False: Congress makes federal gun laws; ATF enforces them." They also state "ATF has a national gun registry. False: ATF is strictly prohibited by law from having a national gun registry." 252M records would definitely dispute that. Jan 6 2023 (Reuters) - A U.S. appeals court on Friday struck down a rule the Trump administration had adopted following a 2017 Las Vegas mass shooting that banned "bump stocks," devices that allow people to rapidly fire multiple rounds from semi-automatic guns. In a 13-3 decision, the New Orleans-based 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said that despite "tremendous" public pressure to impose a ban, it was up to the U.S. Congress rather than the president to take action. If a bump stock that irrefutably makes the weapon more dangerous doesn't hold up under scrutiny of laws the a stabilizing brace that in no way makes the weapon more dangerous should be laughed out of court.

Again... _"Rules for thee - not for me."_ Stay classy my friends.

Any law that restricts A law abiding citizen a Firearm is UNCONSTITUTIONAL

Byron Donalds - Respect

Executive, legislative, judicial what’s so hard to grasp. It’s a separation for a reason.

The best line that encapsulates the ridiculousness; “So you’re saying a law passed by congress passed 90 years ago gives the right to the ATF to make Felons of 10 million people today!?”

Welp if it's a felony with 25 years, might as well drill that 3rd hole....

I can't think of a three letter agency I would miss...

Why do democrat witnesses never answer the question, they dance around it

The real hazard to firearms is that the American people as a whole have become less responsible and less caring. There was a time where shooting arcades were in every city in the nation with little or no problem. Firearms are inanimate and have no part in the decision to do the wrong thing with a firearm. We as a nation have deteriorated morally, spiritually and ethically and there is no plan to change that. That is the crux of the problem and it is why this nation will ultimately fail unless it is changed.

I love how when Byron Donalds speaks it is very measured and eloquent. He has this way of giving someone a subtle knock between the eyeballs without raising his voice.

The ATF makes no sense

Our Country is ran under rules, regulations, codes, and ordinances. It's been a long time since an actual LAW was passed. 😢

What's going on here is purely amazing. Mr Donald's doing his work!

How about having the Arm Brace IDENTIFY AS A Bag of Chips?

No federal agency should have the power to legislate. So glad Byron makes that point. It should be applied to every bureaucrat agency in existence.

Byron Mcdonalds hits that nail on the head. Way to go sir. You are truly honorable.

There is NO WAY that the ATF will be able to Process 10 million Pistol Brace applications in the 88 days it allotted before it becomes a Felony if you don't have your Tax Stamp

Rep. Byron is brilliant, so proud of this man.

Okay mr. Wilcox, I hear what you're saying about The ATF regulating as technology changes, what I don't get is why you think it's OK for them to flip flop on a rule. Once they've made it. My mom said I have to eat my dinner before I can have dessert; she didn't say that on Monday and Tuesday and Wednesday then change it for Thursday and change it back on Friday. The rules were the rules I was given to live by. No matter how many times the ATF changes the rules criminals are still going to be criminals and they're still going to get their hands on weapons they shouldn't have, that's not going to change no matter what the rule is; so as long as the rest of us are obeying the rules, why in the world should we begin 😅required to keep checking in with mom and dad to see which way they're leaning today on the rules for the weapons they permitted us to build last week, last month, or last year? WHEN is the ATF going to spend EVEN HALF AS MUCH time, effort, and money protecting LAW ABIDING CITIZENS - half assed at best - as they do "regulating us as technology progresses" to the point that WE have become prisoners of the state who either cannot defend ourselves as we see the need or become ACTUAL CRIMINALS ourselves while doing so?? I direct your attention to the "Fast and Furious" op which you should ALL still be too embarrased to show your faces in public over frankly, much less tell us we cannot use what the ATF GAVE AWAY TO THE CARTELL!! Did Congress include that in the passage of the law 90 years ago? Did that law dictate that you treat us like criminals while advising the criminals of all the rights that they have that appear to supersede our rights? I'll answer for you, It did not; and you want to know why? Because they didn't know this would be an issue, because they didn't forsee the invention of this product Any more than they foresaw the creation of the ATF. They thought future legislators might use some common sense [ Which we oftentimes don't appear to posess (( What were you guys thinking founding the ATF anyway?)) ] in these matters I'm sure. ALSO, I would direct everyone's attention to the KNOWN ISSUE of ATF agents picking and choosing and taking weapons for themselves on the way to be destroyed or wherever. A citizens don't get to do that either; as a matter of fact, we're sick and tired of you guys taking our weapons even after you have figured out we're not who and they're not what you're looking for; WHEN YOU KNOW DAMN WELL YOU SHOULDN'T take or keep them.

I can't wait for this to go to the Supreme Court, where they will unequivocally tell the ATF that they do not have the authority to make laws. Just like Osha didn't when it came to the jab mandate

Love this guy 👍🏻

There is zero reason why a government agency should be able to make “rules” and enforce them as laws.

Byron Donalds is Impressive!

the fact that my tax dollars fund the ATF is infuriating

When witnesses tell the truth they don't start out with "thank you for the question".

This is the most coherent discussion I’ve ever heard. Thank god we have some gentleman with some sense.

Honestly .I am a disabled Marine corps veteran and because of my disability I cannot defend myself with hand to hand combat the way I used to and the use of a firearm is the only way to defend myself and my family.if the government took away my second amendment rights that would be an injustice to the ones that were willing to give their life to defend this great country

Byron is really impressing me

He is someone I could completely get behind if he ever chooses to run for President!! This guy is not only sharp, he is genuine, balanced, and I have yet to find any partisan/ hypocritical statement or argument-> being consistent in the application of his arguments (criticizing one party for a supported policy or political talking point but defending the other).. Also really love that he brought his 14yr old son with him to work!

We must keep Byron Donalds in the Senate . Wonderful patriot .

Ban the ATF

These are two great Congressmen!! Keep the heat on gentlemen!!

Love you Byron, I pray that God will continue to give you wisdom. As you exposed the devil, and his minions.

If you file with atf for brace you have 90 days to do so but the application is expired 80 days from filling date which means they will have your record plus you will be denied

Love Byron Donalds. Keep fighting, sir!

Go GET 'EM Rep.Donalds!!!... You know they're lying, WE know it, AND they KNOW it as well!!!!

This Law is obviously not a law. It is up to Sheriff's to protect the people from this new over reach. If they start cuffing Federal Agents acting outside the law then maybe things will start to get fixed.

Byron Donald's..👍👍👍😊 is Awesome!!!!!

It is time to eliminate the ATF.

I am so happy that these representatives are standing up for us and pushing back against agencies creating and enforcing what equates to law making. The previous houses apparently allowed its authority to be taken away...little by little. It seems the new Congress is taking it all back!

Love this guy!!

Time to abolish the ATF

You've got to love Byron Donalds - he is a force of nature!

Love this guy

Byron Donald's is an absolute Powerhouse in our government

I moved to Fl 11 years ago from the People’s Republic of California. I feel so blessed to be free after living under the tyrannical government of Cali for 52 years. I’ve lived in Mr. Donald’s district since moving here but didn’t have a Representative that truly knew what they were supposed to go to Washington for until Byron Donalds got elected 3 years ago. I feel so blessed to have him as my Rep. it is my hope that when Gov Desantis wins the White House in 2024, that Byron Donalds becomes the next Governor of Florida. I just hope that my district will elect a Rep that is half as good as him.

Abolish tyranny, abolish the ATF

abolish ATF and other alphabet mafias... sheriff office can handle these and is more human friendly than gov. offices

"Shall Not Be Infringed..."

Byron Donalds is brilliant

Time to dismantle the ATF

Thank You!☮️❤️🇺🇸

Byron is a rock star, love this guy!

This isn't a law, how tf are there sentencing guidelines????!!

Disband the ATF altogether. Congressional cowardice has led to all of these bureaucracies

We need more people like Byron Donalds in charge.

The NFA is the most blatantly unconstitutional law on the books. Regular law abiding citizens should be able to buy machine guns, SBRs ect without paying an extortion tax to the Federal government. Imagine if we did the same thing with any of constitutional right.

All of my guns were unfortunately lost in that terrible boating accident of 2019.

It's the give them an inch take a mile thing!

Great job Byron, you Rock!🎉

*AWESOME!!!🤷🏿‍♂️🙏🏿🇺🇸🙏🏿🇺🇸🙏🏿🇺🇸👌🏿👍🏿✊🏿✌🏿🫡*

Separation of Powers!

ATF needs to be abolished

"Bastardization of Asylum." Man, talk about hard hitting that man spoke volumes in short phrase. Wow.

Was watching this live, and this witness is clueless.

Abolish the ATF now!

Donald for President! I love that dude!

Thank you Mr Donalds. Today you earned my utmost respect.

Smart articulate and to the point. He's for the American people

They went for the jugular... Give them a raise! 👏🏾... Shall Not Be Infringed.

I seem to remember from 50 years ago when shoulder stocks were "banned" from Home Movie Cameras.
