The ATF has been a bunch of pikers at least since the 70’s.

A good school buddy of mine got caught with some dynamite he bought from someone when he was 16. Aside from scaring some fish and making some big holes in the ground, he was just having fun.

The agents and some fed prosecutor put him in front of a decent federal judge and the judge told them to put the kid on a local judge and never be seen in front of him again.

The good local judge told the kid to either join the military or get a job in demolition. He’s now making 6 figures sapping things that really need it.

The ATF can KMA.

Yeah,

But, they do love them flashbangers and dynamic entries at O dark thirty.

Just to ruin one's last dreams before a rude awakening.

They need to be disbanded, and their offices salted!

BATFE are also tasked with making up CRAZY rules where one can’t legally fool around with Liter sized Pop bottles and sub-sonic 22lr rounds.

Funny. Not unlike Rush, as a kid, wanting to be Mr. Radio...

The slush fund paid for undercover operations. Does that include booze, drugs, strippers and fact finding trips to Cancun and the Caymans?

“This excerpt makes it sound like th agents did this for personal gain, but it was a fund to use to do sting operations, and other enforcement methods.”

Based on what public accounting?
