The Trump Administration’s ATF is poised for change.

Here is a great choice to lead and possibly dismantle this failing rogue agency.
Brandon Herrera’s a candidate who embodies the spirit of pro-gun rights and the desire for government accountability. Known for his firearms expertise, dedication to Second Amendment advocacy, and unfiltered commitment to freedom, Herrera has publicly stated on X (formerly Twitter) that he’s ready to take on this role as ATF Director.

The Beautiful Irony of a “Gun Nut” as Director of the ATF
Imagine the irony: a social media “gun nut,” firearms designer, and YouTube sensation who’s spent years railing against the ATF is now the top pick to lead the agency. Brandon Herrera has used his massive online following to expose the ATF’s regulatory overreach, calling out its inconsistent and sometimes absurd policies. He’s even gone as far as testifying about disbanding the agency, and now he’s in the spotlight as the ideal candidate to oversee it. This twist is both humorous and inspiring to the pro-Second Amendment community, especially in light of current calls to disband the agency altogether.
11/15/2024: Brandon Herrera to Lead the Trump Administration’s ATF is top of the Nominees for the People Forum leaderboard!!
In a recent AmmoLand article, The Four Federal Gun Control Efforts Trump Should Dismantle on Day One, editor F. Riehl laid out exactly why Trump’s administration needs to roll back Biden’s anti-gun policies and Herrera’s appointment to the ATF is perfectly aligned with this vision. Under Herrera’s leadership, we could see a bold mandate to scale down, hold accountable and, perhaps, ultimately eliminate the ATF, finally putting an end to the agency’s decades of deadly overreach.
The thought of Herrera, an outspoken critic, stepping in to shrink or even dissolve the very agency he’s been at odds with is a poetic shift that speaks volumes about the new Trump Administration’s dedication to freedom and government accountability.

Update: Brandon Herrera Shares His Vision for the ATF as Director
In a recent video, Brandon Herrera outlined his priorities and potential strategies if he were to be appointed Director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) under a Trump administration. While blending humor with serious points, Herrera shared the following proposed actions:
- Leveraging Legal Loopholes for Freedom:
- Herrera suggested implementing a 90-day amnesty period for machine gun registration under the Hughes Amendment. This could increase the number of registered machine guns, making them more commonly owned and potentially protected under the Supreme Court’s “common use” doctrine.
- He also joked about using legal definitions creatively, such as the vague definition of suppressors under the National Firearms Act (NFA), to challenge regulatory overreach.
- Draining Bureaucratic Overreach:
- He emphasized his intent to slash unnecessary bureaucracy within the ATF, aligning the agency’s focus with constitutional principles rather than regulatory overreach.
- Herrera expressed a desire to drastically reform or even dismantle parts of the ATF, turning its headquarters into a “Spirit Halloween” store as a symbolic gesture of reducing its influence.
- Championing Transparency and Community Understanding:
- With over a decade of experience as a federal firearms license (FFL) holder and a strong grasp of firearms laws, Herrera highlighted the need for leadership that truly understands the gun community and the firearms industry.
- He criticized the historical lack of technical and industry knowledge among ATF leaders.
- Giving Back to the Community: SAVE THE DOGS!
- As a goodwill gesture, Herrera promised to donate his entire ATF salary to no-kill dog shelters.
- Restoring Public Trust:
- Herrera committed to eliminating practices that tarnish public trust in the agency, such as controversial training targets and questionable enforcement tactics.
- Abolishing Outdated Regulations:
- While recognizing that major legislative changes like repealing the NFA would require congressional action, Herrera expressed his passion for advocating such reforms and working toward their eventual realization.
With a mix of strategic proposals and his characteristic humor, Herrera’s vision combines reducing bureaucratic bloat with leveraging existing laws to maximize Second Amendment freedoms. His unconventional ideas reflect his dedication to reshaping the ATF into a more constitutionally aligned agency. Hell yeah, brother!
