DOJ & ATF Go After Pin & Welds & Suppressors…AGAIN

Here is a letter I sent to Donald Trump and Pam Bondi and each and everyone of us need to do the same to let them know we are not happy.


Dear President Trump,

I hope this message finds you well.

It appears that the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) are not fully implementing or adhering to the mandates you have issued regarding the protection of Second Amendment rights. Despite your administration’s clear stance on safeguarding lawful gun ownership, we continue to see concerning actions that suggest overreach and inconsistent application of federal firearms regulations.

Below is a letter I recently sent to Pam Boni regarding this matter. I believe it reflects the growing concern among law-abiding citizens who value their constitutional rights and look to your leadership for continued defense of our freedoms.

I am writing to express serious concern over the recurring emergence of legal cases that appear to challenge established Second Amendment rights—particularly those involving suppressors, “pin and weld” methods, and other firearms-related issues. These cases often seem to originate from what appear to be overly aggressive or ideologically motivated U.S. attorneys, raising questions about oversight and accountability within the Department of Justice.

Why are these cases repeatedly being brought forward despite long-standing legal precedents and administrative guidance? Who is responsible for reviewing and approving such cases before they proceed, and why aren’t questionable filings being dismissed at the outset? The public deserves transparency and assurance that prosecutorial discretion is being exercised fairly and within constitutional bounds.

It has been stated that a specialized office or department exists within the DOJ to evaluate legal matters that may affect Second Amendment rights. If that is the case, its role in reviewing and potentially halting these prosecutions is unclear. From a citizen’s perspective, it appears that this oversight function is either ineffective or not being utilized as intended.

If any U.S. attorneys are acting outside of their proper authority or pursuing cases that lack constitutional merit, we urge immediate disciplinary action, including termination if warranted. Furthermore, a thorough investigation should be conducted to determine how such cases were allowed to proceed.

We the People expect our constitutional rights to be upheld, not undermined by those entrusted with enforcing the law. The DOJ must restore public confidence by ensuring that rogue prosecutions are promptly addressed and prevented from recurring.

Thank you for your continued commitment to the Constitution and to protecting the rights of responsible American gun owners.


Send this to the following people:

President Donald Trump – The Office of Donald J. Trump

Pam Bondi – Pam Bondi Department of Justice

And to all your Congress Representatives and Senators, – https://www.govtrack.us/congress/members/current


“We, the American gun owners, must remain steadfast and vocal until President Donald Trump’s Second Amendment directives are fully implemented.”

ATF non-complaints with the United States Court Ruling

Wayne Thorn

The ATF is defying a court order by refusing to comply and instead making excuses, gathering additional information on those affected, and imposing unnecessary background checks before returning confiscated items.

These individuals legally purchased these items before the ATF reclassified them as machine guns. Since they were originally classified as non-machine guns at the time of purchase, no additional background checks should be required.

Below is a letter I wrote to President Trump regarding this issue. I encourage everyone to do the same.

The ATF has been resisting compliance with federal court orders regarding items it previously classified as machine guns. Now, the agency claims it must re-evaluate whether individuals who legally purchased these items before the classification change have the right to keep them. Additionally, the ATF is demanding documentation proving that these individuals were part of the organization involved in the legal case—essentially com and compiling a list of members, raising concerns about potential misuse of this information to target law-abiding Americans and infringe on their First Amendment rights.

As I have previously shared, the ATF has also been using AI and surveillance cameras to identify individuals on the streets who may be carrying firearms, as well as scanning for people with pending legal issues. These actions raise serious concerns about overreach and privacy violations.

These confiscated items must be returned immediately. Pam Bondi (DOJ) and Acting ATF Director Kash Patel must take action to resolve this issue without delay. These are individuals you appointed, but they have been silent and inactive on this matter. Their inaction is unacceptable.

Given the ATF’s repeated noncompliance with court rulings and its continued excuses for defying judgments, I believe the agency is beyond reform. It must be completely dismantled. I will be closely watching how you address this issue with Bondi and Patel, as I trust you have the power to ensure justice is served.
