BATFE is a useless, redundant policing agency & should be abolished.

Alcohol sales & consumption are regulated by the states, & foreign bootlegging is policed by ICE.

Tobacco policing is a joke. Tobacco is a legal product. Any policing required can be & is done at the state & local level. Tax collecting needs no Federal policing. That’s what the IRS is for.

Firearms & explosives policing can be & are done by the FBI. A separate agency is unnecessary.

BATFE is just another elite jobs program for those in law enforcement.

Like they say, “Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms” should be the name of a convenience store, not a government agency.
