No. Keep law enforcement balkanized. You do NOT want to concentrate power.

The ATF was always a trailer-park trash outfit from the very beginning. They literally had nothing to do after the end of Prohibition. Tobacco and firearms were rolled in to give them something to do. They have the lowest standards of any federal law enforcement agency. The dumber and more corrupt you are, the easier it is to get in.

Just make them into the “AT”, let them keep their badges and pull their guns.

Make them into an entity that attends to tobacco and booze paperwork matters.

ATF is just a dumping ground for losers who aren’t smart enough for any other govt. agency.

There was talk of this when Congress investigated ATF and the Ken Ballew case. ATF was not disbanded because no other federal agency would take ANY former ATF agents. They were that low on the federal LEO food chain. Nothing has changed in 45 years.

Citing ATF’s recent operational failures and its overlap with other federal law enforcement, Sensenbrenner is preparing a bill to dissolve the agency and have existing agencies in the U.S. Justice Department take on its duties.

A approve of everything except the underlined.
