Patel was sworn in Friday as FBI director after winning Senate approval despite Democrats’ concerns about the steadfast Trump ally’s plans to radically overhaul the FBI.
ATF is a separate agency with about 5,500 employees and is responsible for enforcing the nation’s laws around firearms, explosives and arson. Among other things, it’s in charge of licensing federal firearms dealers, tracing guns used in crimes and analyzing intelligence in shooting investigations.
other places outside brick-and-mortar stores.
In an executive order earlier this month, President Donald Trump directed the attorney general to review all actions taken by the Biden administration around firearms “to assess any ongoing infringements of the Second Amendment rights of our citizens.”
FBI and ATF under one roof? Might as well rename it the Department of Overreach.

never trust someone with “crazy dead eyes look”
But you’ll fit right in with the rest of the party
Good gods I’m going to be using the hell out of this…
Throw him in a blender and turn him into automatic transmission fluid. That’s the only kind of ATF he can be any good at.
I dont think he would be good at that either. Bile is usually sticky.
Well I think we outta cram his ass into some transmission lines to find out. For science.
He may be a bile sac, but the group glazing is beginning to run no matter how much he tries to blink it out of his eyes. 🙃
Jesus Christ, if any of what his wiki page says is true, I wouldn’t hire this guy to be my gardener!
Are you kidding? I would absolutely hire this guy to be my gardener.
(I have recently planted a large crop of Dendrocnide moroides)
Oh, you devil, you!
Maybe I would hire him for a poison ivy garden! 😂
Good thing he has that 2 months of somewhat related experience
He’s gonna need it
SERIOUSLY? I’ll bet this fucker tries to gut 2A, too
The GOA backs him and given his speech at their conference I’m willing to bet he isn’t keen on doing that.
Of course they will, they’ll do it in the name of removing guns from “undocumented immigrants” and “gang members”.
“We investigated ourselves and found nothing wrong.”
Head of the FBI, ATF, & DEI
So do you think he’s going to relax federal gun laws? Then it’ll be up to the states. Or do you think they’ll challenge the states’ laws too?
Asking for a friend.
The speculation I’m hearing is that he can’t legally shut down the ATF but he is in favor of getting rid of anything that would make 2A a privilege instead of a right.
