The ATF Elimination Act, introduced on Thursday, January 12, by Representative Jim Sensenbrenner (R-Wis.), is an attempt to do the right thing but for the wrong reasons. By Bob Adelmann

Be still my heart if the can do this.

He said duplicative, but he also meant duplicitous.

Gosh I’d love it if they erased this UN-Constitutional agency!

Who was it who said: “Alcohol, Tobacco & Firearms? Sounds like it should be the name of a convenience store, not a federal bureaucracy”.

This winning could be habit forming.

[Lisbon1940]

Eliminate it for the right reason, not the Sensenbrenner reasons.

[Lurkinanloomin]

Long overdue.

DHS, BLM hopefully next

The ‘right’ reason is too hard for a lot of people to get their heads around and far too easy to get attacked by the media. The ‘wrong’ reasons are easier to explain and far harder for the press to defend.

What does it matter so long as the damn thing goes away?

[gogeo]

I don’t care why...Just do it.

[Lisbon1940]

It can come back if you’re not careful. Worse than ever.

[Spktyr]

Same thing applies if you get rid of something for the ‘right’ reasons. Gorelock Wall, anyone? The ATF is enough of an urgent problem that it needs to go away now - we can worry about/educated about the ‘proper’ reason later.

Ruby Ridge, Waco, Fast & Furious, they've spilt more blood and have more blood on their hands that the other alphabets combined

If only there weren’t about 500 weasels in the House and Senate, this might have a chance of actually happening.

[DoughtyOne]

What would possess any sane person to create an agency to control three things that are legal?

Makes about the same sense as creating a Black Female Speech agency.

Get rid of this hideous organization, and ban it’s agents from ever working in law enforcement again. It’s very mandate is fatally flawed.

[AFreeBird]

At least make it a convenience store.

I think most of us understand that even if the BATF is eliminated, and its "regulatory" functions are assigned to other agencies, it only means that the abuses by the BATF will end, but then they'll be committed by the other agencies. Trading one bully for another bully.

Federal regulation of Alcohol and Tobacco should end. Regarding firearms, the Feds should use civil rights statutes in criminal and civil actions against State Governments which, "Under Color of Authrority," abridge the rights of citizens to keep and bear arms. And the Feds should start forming task forces to put gang members who use firearms in the commissions of felonies in prison for life.
