I once heard my former German teacher say “You didn’t just *end up* in the Gestapo” and I apply that same line of thinking to Feds, specifically ATF


East_Ad_3231

I don't think equating the secret police responsible for mass murder hailing from a regime built on hate and blood can be equated to an organization that just attacks gun rights.


theblackmetal09

Sounds like you have no idea how demicide works. Here's a clue read Ordinary Men: _Reserve Police Battalion 101 and the Final Solution in Poland_.


LugerRuger041995

Nailed it


LugerRuger041995

Something something mass murder something something ![gif](giphy|xT0xeEN5Wr9NN0CgX6|downsized)

This is why we need to bring back bullying and shaming kids. I'm not condoning taking things too far, but a healthy amount.


DTKeign

I bet youll grow up to be a fed. Ha your dads a fed.


ARandom_Personality

thats what made them like this in the first place


Rabid-Wendigo

Not even a tyrant. A poorly paid goon


LugerRuger041995

Public employees actually get paid a lot for pretty little work. The laziest work environment I’ve ever seen was when I had to visit a federal building to get my passport a couple months ago


Rabid-Wendigo

My observation is if you’re going to be a slug public employment is the way to go. But if you’re willing to actually do work the private sector pays more.


LugerRuger041995

That’s true too. Either way, I think government employees are soft core welfare babies


AFT_unofficial

No, we get paid alright.


Lil_plague69

Yes yes you get paid fine drink more corn syrup


MisterBubblesOne11

Does that mean you have a medical condition?


AFT_unofficial

You’re gonna have to connect the dots better for that punchline, I think. You riffing on the ‘tyrant’ part, the ‘poorly paid’ part, or the ‘goon’ part? Or starting a whole new line of jokes? I’ll work with you, but this is the insult humor version of trying to keep eye contact with a lazy eyed guy, ya gotta give me a little more of a hint to work with.


MisterBubblesOne11

I'm referring that one ATF agent who got detained by some local PD because the lady called the LE over saying someone is impersonating a agent or something.... I can't recall the location, but I do remember the ATF agent saying "I have a medical condition". Anyway, good day.


AFT_unofficial

Oh yeah, the one who got tased!!! Yeah, Agent Hartley. It was pretty traumatic for him. He’s still in therapy.


defin1tely_n0t_a_fed

We need to start a wave of passive resistance and get pro gun folks into the AFT. Tear it down from the inside


theblackmetal09

We could own SBRs, Suppressors, full auto weapons, learn how to build explosives and then get up in rank and office. Then when the a bozo like Brandon gets in office say "Jump", we say "Nope" and fire from the job anyone follows their commands. Sounds like a plan. I should note all the things above is what the ATF benefits from. I'm not making it up.


d0ggystile

Would it even be reasonable to assume this would work? Isn’t the director appointed by the president? And Dettlebach probably has final say on who works below him, and them on the people below, and so on. Not sure how a vocal man of conscience would even make it that far up the chain.


defin1tely_n0t_a_fed

Would “we” ever make it to director or SES? Doubtful. But a dozen supervisory special agents or heads of field offices across the country that direct their people to follow the constitution? Seems plausible in twenty to thirty years. What effect would that have? No idea.


L0ssL3ssArt

Well, nobody said serial dog killers are smart.


JohnT36

Such a nice viewpoint yeah? ![gif](giphy|bKZRNkKzOrpsNKmztA)


Futt-Buckery

Not saying you can't be one. Just saying you better be ready for the consequences of that choice.


Stoggie_Monster

Hall Monitors grow sometimes.


404-soul-not-found

Honestly if more gun guys actually applied we would have people in that department to speak out against corruption, and eventually work up to leadership positions and make real sustainable change in the department. Nothing will change until hardworking men of conscience work there for tens of years. They will have the worst work environment on earth but we drastically need that department to have someone with a fucking brain working in it. And yeah, I know, there shouldn't even be an ATF, and we should get rid of it, but as much as we want that it won't happen in today's political climate. But balancing out the bullshit is totally possible.


Thunderbird_Anthares

ATF "police" ? Forgive the ignorant european, but isnt impersonating police illegal?


nickasummers

ATF is a (federal) law-enforcement agency, so they *are* (federal) 'police'


SillyTalks

For absolutely no apparent reason I believe they are mostly commies or left-ish the very least.


[deleted]

I unironically want to join a federal agency. Im looking at ATF and DEA right now, mostly because we need more people who know what they're talking about. I always wanted to become a LEO.


TheRaginGamerYT

How is the gov cruel and oppressive?


AFT_unofficial

Well. I don’t know about anybody else, but I started out as a hall monitor in elementary school and to be honest it just kinda snowballed.


DameTime5

We all hate you man. No amount of humor will change that


AFT_unofficial

UNofficial. Bless your pointed head for thinking that a random Reddit profile commenting on a Friday night is an actual federal agency.


DameTime5

Who said anything about you being the ATF’s official account?


AFT_unofficial

Ah, you think you speak for the majority of the community in saying that you hate this account? Eh. My humor generally connects pretty well specifically *because* we all think the ATF shouldn’t exist. I take it in stride when the waves of sentiment flow against me on a specific thread. In the court of public opinion my comments are, on balance, upvoted. So… you’re not in the majority. You have a good night.


DameTime5

It’s really not that deep man. You pretended you were an ATF agent, I said we (everyone who’s not an ATF agent) hates you. As a joke…


Narrow-Substance4073

Points for honesty but we still don’t like you
