The ATF itself from a moral standpoint is really just a crime syndicate. All of government is made up of crime syndicates. They have no legitimacy and are not protecting anyone but the ruling masters. They have been taking guns and parts to be destroyed as part of the war on people commonly known as gun control. The ordinary man has a right to protect his person and property from aggressors, including government.
The seizure of arms is a violation of private property. Every individual has the right to life, liberty, and property. We must educate others about the these principles and defend them if we are to one day stand up to this unjust behavior. Disobedience is a virtue.
