I went through that ATF PRISON with my first suppressor for about eleven months! Now I have two more stuck there since January! It is pure bullshit and incompetence or possibly intensional.

[@Damonnanashi]

My SBR stamp took like 4 or 5 months. My suppressor stamp took 19.

[@WilliamJones-ru9xd]

This was truly eye opening, to hear this from a former ATF Agent.

[@morisetconstructionelectri7932]

Zero praise for an illegal and unconstitutional agency that should not exist.

Great guest speaker with great credentials

“Before Biden” he can’t even say during Trumps term lol

He complies with all the tyrannies thats why he did the atfs bidding

Great interview Colion. Keep them coming.

[@twofeathers2023]

Trust me, we law enforcement guys hate the ATF as well

[@wiseonemunir6027]

This is the most informative, entertaining, and just plain fun podcast I’ve ever watched. Thank you and thank the guest for sharing such important information with us. 👍🏾

[@derrickg6028]

That's bold... To have a close chat with someone from the Anti-canine Terrestrial Force. Real bold.

[@nmracer4632]

The SR-71 in San Antonio is at the parade field on Lackland AFB. It is in the company of some other beautiful historic aircraft.

[@dennisday8141]

Colion, you may know this already but one of, or maybe the, SR71 flight simulator is located in Frontiers of Flight Museum at Love Field. I remember seeing it there a few years ago. Quite impressive.

[@johnspartan5515]

The SR-71 can be viewed at not only the Smithsonian in DC, but the bone yard next to Davis Mothan air Force base in Tucson Arizona. It's crazy to think of all of the tech that went into it, look in the cockpit and its all analog, nothing digital!

[@kendrickwilliams3696]

What a story. Thank you Mr. salty, sending love your way man.

[@Jack-M1113]

Just the opener alone made me happy you had this guy on. Everyone would love the ATF if they were all like this guy. 🇺🇸

[@LRRPFco52]

There's nothing you can do to ever make me love the ATF, even turning them into a footnote in history. They are nothing but a curse and a stain on our Nation.

[@MG-vo7yn]

SR-71!!! one of my two favorite military aircraft!!! talk about something that was made before it's time!!! my second fav is the warthog. both the SR-71 and the warthog were purpose built for a very specific purpose. and, like sharks (unchanged for millions and millions of years bcz the design is perfect), they got the design right on the first try. nothing can compete with either one for the specific purpose that they serve. no need to make any changes - just great design from the start.

[@spyder5571]

This guy better watch out. The ATF can go to his home like Brian Malinowski to "arrest" him.

[@Lugghandle]

"they are complaining that it's taking 4 days now." I filed individually and this is the 3rd month of waiting. We should not have any wait time, registry or double extortion tax. Abolish the ATF and the NFA.

[@jimmcfaul699]

The SR-71 flight to Dulles, flew out of Bealle Air Force Base.

[@clips_actual5053]

I was stationed at Beale from 2004-2007. 🤙🏼

[@JohnGompf]

Excellent Video!!!!

[@glennbroce]

Great interview with great and relevant information! I too love the SR-71! From 4th through 8th grade I lived in Lancaster, CA near Edward’s Air Force Base and would often see it fly accompanied by 1-2 chase planes. Awesome sight! For the longest time, there was an SR-71 outside and in front of the air and space museum in at Balboa park in San Diego. Fantastic sight!!

[@LRRPFco52]

It broke the windows at Joshua elementary school when I was a kid just from the loudness, wasn't going supersonic. It had just taken off from Plant 42 and headed North over Lancaster, probably headed up to either Edwards or Beale.

Most ignorant comment I've heard in awhile. Your assumption might apply to some, but not all people.

[@ContentEnjoyer-gm3ky]

*of the ATF Some folks who hold a grievance against most government branches, were wronged whilst working for them. That’s literally how character development is made.

[@johnblunt1313]

lol

[@feralvulcan7955]

Well you fund the government. So what does that say about you?

[@TheAnnoyingBoss]

I dont trust him. But more than that what matters is that i dont trust the atf as a whole entity in terms of violations of our constitutional rights. Illigitimate.

[@onelifetolive927]

So he was a technical expert. ATF shouldn't exist as an agency but his job sounds pretty innocuous.

[@Taytay-slays21]

When was the last time we heard of people being busted for illegal tobacco? Not sure why they even have the T in their designation anymore. Also, the A could also be removed.

[@LRRPFco52]

There was a Hezbollah cell in North Carolina that was running cigarettes up to New York and selling them at massive profit to fund terrorist operations in the early 2000s. A Reserve USMC Major I briefly worked with was involved in the investigation in his full-time job as a Charlottesville Detective. ATF was involved with that because the terrorists were transporting tobacco across State lines.

[@onelifetolive927]

They go after cigarette tax avoiders who smuggle cigarettes from one state to another. It's absurd, but the government wants their full cut.

[@danielsimonson3484]

SR 71 blackbird, F117, and the Spruce Goose ar in the air museum in McMinnville Oregon.
