Even if the BATFags were the best behaved bureaucrats in the entire Fedzilla, the bureau should still be abolished. It should be no more than the alcohol and tobacco tax division at the Treasury Department.
Disagree, the entire thing needs to be disbanded...everything. Only those functions that are critical to perating govt should be retained and given to other agencies. None of the agents or employees should be transfered as part of the disbanding. Most should be investigated for criminal activity. None should be allowed to have another position in LE ever or law ever.
I like the bumper sticker, “ATF should be a convenience store not a Federal Agency!”
Exactly. Why should there even be a Federal police force if the 2nd Amendment was a "Right", not a privilege?
Where is the Bureau of Free Speech, Fee Assembly and Religion?
NO, the 2nd Amendment is a privilege and you need gov approval to exercise it, or the BATFags will kick in your door and take you away.
Can anyone point out to me anywhere in the US Constitution where the fed gov, congress or any other federal body is given the legal, legitimate authority to do anything regarding alcohol? Including taxing it, unless it’s a tariff duty on imports being brought into the country?
Is there any authorization in the Constitution for the fed gov to ANY authority over arms, explosives or even tobacco? Please, I’d really like to see such legal authority provided to the executive, legislative or judicial branches. I haven’t found it.
