Interestingly it is the left leaning 'Center for American Progress', the classic Obama think tank, that produced this report.

They would want the FBI or Homeland Security harassing gun owners.

we have to many agencies and I think it is a good idea to have the functions of the ATF taken over by the FBI but I am suspicious that there might be an altearer motive in doing this but I cant figure out what it could be unless getting rid of the ATF I away of getting rid of embarrassing information in someway.

They think we would respect the FBI or ‘Homeland Securty more”, and they might be right as its harder to deminoziase an agency that does something that is not so clearly a violation of the Federal Constitution.

But the truth is the FBI has no business existing either, and ‘homeland security’ is a collection agencies only some of which are actually useful and lawful like border patrol and coast guard.

The ATF should be abolished but few if any of its functions should be redistributed to any other agency. Washington has no business ‘regulating’ firearms, or tobacco for that matter. Until then Congress should focus on striping the agency of its funds and sending its agents to go dig holes in the desert where they won’t be steping on anyone’s rights.

Until then we should probably add a few more unpopular functions to their exclusive responsibility list like Obamacare tax collection, and everything else that we don’t want done.
