Ben Meiselas: 特朗普政府正在利用行政命令和机构和解协议来规避国会和法律程序，这种做法不仅破坏了机构的宗旨，还可能导致纳税人承担更多负担。司法部与1月6日叛乱分子的和解协议以及试图将机枪转换装置分发到社区的行为，都显示了特朗普政府对法律和公共安全的漠视。我个人支持人们拥有枪支和保护家人，但无法理解为什么有人想要将枪支改装成机枪，这种行为实在令人费解。 Matt Platkin: 我认为特朗普政府通过与枪支行业的勾结和解，而非通过法律程序，将机枪送到民众手中，这是非常疯狂的。我作为新泽西州的总检察长，感到有责任起诉联邦政府，以阻止他们将这些危险的武器送到潜在的暴力分子手中。他们甚至不愿透露和解协议的当事方，并将把机枪转换装置归还给可能将它们出售到禁止机枪的州的个人和经销商。这种行为不仅是对公共安全的威胁，也是对法律秩序的践踏。我们必须采取行动，确保联邦政府不会成为暴力重罪犯的机枪经销商。
