May 23, 2024

The House Judiciary Committee hearing on red flag laws and ATF oversight held on May 23, 2024, Rep. Wesley Hunt questions Biden's ATF Director Steven Dettelbach, exposing how so-called "red flag laws" have evolved from dismissed conspiracy theories to active federal policy implementation under the Biden administration. 

Rep. Hunt accuses the ATF of overreach and mission creep in gun control efforts, warning that initial targets like AR-15s could expand to handguns and broader Second Amendment rights, while emphasizing his firm opposition to such encroachments.
