Earlier we told you about The Democrats’ “heartfelt Valentine’s Day cards” featuring Joe Biden, Kamala Harris and others that are getting plenty of attention in the form of mockery. However, The Democrats’ Valentine’s Day offering has nothing on what the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco & Firearms tweeted:
Valentine's Day can still be fun even if you broke up. Do you have information about a former (or current) partner involved in illegal gun activity? Let us know, and we will make sure it's a Valentine's Day to remember! Call 1-888-ATF-TIPS or email [email protected] pic.twitter.com/OdDIPdIzkr

Come for the “WTF,” stay for the self-unawareness:
In a time when more Americans than ever are worried about authoritarian government action you thought this was a good idea to tweet.

You guys sound like you need therapy. Seriously. This sounds very unhealthy and maybe you shouldn’t carry a firearm for a bit. https://t.co/MJPiInat5O

ATF is asking if you have a former or current romantic partner “involved in illegal gun activity.”
Happy Valentine’s Day, America! https://t.co/cIGV5ycojl

I do. Ex president, actually. His name was Barack Obama. Ran a bunch of illegal guns to the Mexican cartels. That what you’re looking for? Or you just worried about hunting down some poor guy with a sawed off? https://t.co/sc7fHJ5Cwb
