It’s recently come out that the Biden administration wants to double the size of the AFT. If this comes to fruition, the AFT will have more agents than the IRS.
I figured this would be a “The NRA board just reelected Wayne Lapierre” thread.
Well there’s that…
I couldn’t believe that when I saw it.
Well, yes, I actually could. 
He wants to increase the size of the IRS exponentially as well. To the tune of an $80 billion budget increase; effectively doubling the workforce size. That’s with a “b”. He claims an $80b investment will gain $200b in revenue from “active and vigorous enforcement against tax evasion”. Didn’t we already go through this taxation thing 200 something years ago? Do we have to go through it again?
To put it in perspective, their (just expired really) FY21 budget was $12.039 billion. Again, with a “b”. Luckily, their approved budget is only $13.16 billion, $1.24 billion (10.4 percent) more than last year.
FBI’s current proposed budget for FY22? $10.276 billion.
The TSA has a $8.24 billion budget. Over 80% of the FBI. Let that sink in a second.
The current proposed ATF budget is $1.666 billion, up about 19% from FY20’s approximately $1.4 billion.
Defense budget FY21 compared to FY20? $733 billion/$714 billion. A surprising increase.
VA budget? FY21 request was $2.663 billion, approved was $2.637 billion. Because, you know, three’s more important things. (insert sarcastic face palm here)
EPA’s FY21 enacted budget is $9.237 billion.
And NYC’s FY21 budget is $88.2 billion.
Man, I need a drink after looking all that up.
I’m irritated enough over the proposed reporting of inflow and outflow over $600, never mind the rest
lol I’d be happy if I could afford 5.56 over 223.
I would be all for it if they would approve my stamp…but that isn’t what will be funded. Stupid AFT, FBI, etc.
that is no bueno. . they need to just get rid of the atf entirely like everything else biden’s doing the opposite of what he should do. lol.
He is only doing that because it is the opposite direction Trump wanted to go
Another stealth move by FJB and his band of crooks. 
White House Aims To Shut Down Major Ammunition Plant In Missouri (thefederalist.com)
The same old give an inch,take a mile Democrat methodology. Hopefully tactics like these will kill the ten Republican votes. Blame it on us in November because that ain’t gonna win over gas and grocery prices.
do we know what ammo plant that is, without reading the article i hav eno idea, and right now i got too much on my plate to read it too sadly.
@Darkcorner i hope that it would kill the repub votes, but knowing those Rhinos i doubt it will.
Yep, it is Lake City! Run by Winchester, it’s been in operation since 1941.
oh lord, not lake city… that would be a big hit in ammo production. 
Yes, it will. As I see it FJB is going to block access to ammunition if he can’t ban guns outright.
Isnt it just the overruns? Still, that is something even if its just 1 box.
theyve always threatened that… back in obamas term, after newtown, the gov’t ordered dtons and tons of ammo if memory serves me. causing even more of a shortage. i wouldnt doubt it if biden is trying that again.
I’m not familiar with how many ammo plants Winchester has, and then how many are tooled up for .223/5.56. I’m assuming this would decimate the Winchester m855 supply. FJB.
The ammunition sold to the public pretty much keeps the plant in operation. If FJB’s scheme goes thru there will be a loss of 400-500 jobs. FJB crushing the economy…
Wow, didnt know that.
