The internet went wild last month when the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) posted an image of an agent
loading a submachine gun magazine with the barrel pointed at his testicles.
Here's the tweet:
The core firearm safety rules at any gun range are:
• Always treat every firearm as if it is loaded.
• Always keep your firearm pointed in a safe direction.
• Always keep your finger straight and off the trigger until you are ready to fire.
• Always keep your firearm on safe until you intend to fire.
This could be interpreted as visual evidence that some ATF agents under Biden's administration have no idea about basic firearm safety. Notably, even the agent responsible for social media, who took the photograph, failed to recognize the lapse in gun safety.
Twitter users mocked the photo, as some said, "Photographic proof the ATF shouldn't be allowed anywhere near firearms."
"I'm no highfalutin ATF bureaucrat, but I did receive training many years ago that you NEVER stand in front of the muzzle of any firearm, not even one that you are "certain" is unloaded," someone else said.
Gun blog Truth About Gun said, "Standing in front of the loading table with firearms pointed at your junk is Gun Safety 101 for the distinguished agents of @ATFHQ and @ATFHou in particular. But if an FFL makes even a single typo, he gets his ticket pulled. Your tax dollars at work."
"Reminder ATF is in charge of "policing" things pertaining to firearms. ATF agents don't even follow one of the most important rules of firearm safety, Treat Every Gun As If It Is Loaded. That includes ones sitting on tables, like the one pointed at that idiot's dick," another person explained.
Here's what the Federal Affairs Director of Gun Owners of America had to say about this:
The fact that the Houston branch of the ATF not only took, but posted, a photo of an alleged agent blatantly ignoring—or not knowing—basic firearm safety is a reflection of the agency's ineptness. While ATF may be tasked with enforcing federal gun control, their staff obviously have no understanding or respect for even the basic rules of firearm safety. Gun owners have always known the anti-gun movement knows nothing about the firearms they want to ban—but to post it on Twitter is a new level of stupidity.
Whenever I go shooting, I too load my magazines while standing down range & with my OPEN BOLT machine guns pointed straight at me. https://t.co/c7ACSpoUqG

Not the best look for Biden's ATF.

This is how we roll these days. Under Trump and in Red States the ATF are sinister agents of the deep state. Here they are "Bidens ATF"...
Oh so much that might be touched on
Not responding to “you” y2kmark or your perspective . Need to get that clear and out of the way….
Just some bullet points.
- see basic gun safety that Addict posted / Alec Baldwin
-firearms knowledge and general population stuff. Which might include not many Canadians picking up on or from the image the breakdowns in safety protocol.
-people should do some digging on our own police forces. How often firearms are lost/stolen. How many accidental discharges there are etc etc.
Not sure why political leanings factor into this. Something happened during a training exercise, that absolutely could be, nothing more than an accidental discharge.That’s it, no more, no less.
