My blood is boiling this morning, gentlemen. Think about it, every word of "Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives" should not exist in government. Bureau, the root of bureaucracy. Alcohol is legal, leave it the F alone. Who cares is some huckleberry burns down his house making shine or someone so stupid to drink unproven applejack goes blind. They have the personal choice to make a mistake. Tobacco is legal, leave it the F alone. No normal person wants to grow it cause you get tar all over you when you pick it. It's just illegal to sell the crap across state lines. Last time I looked at the constitution, the commerce clause meant to make commerce regular between the several states, not tax the crap out of tobacco or regulate it's production, transport, distribution, and sale. Then you have firearms. Again, what part of shall not infringe don't they get. An entire Bureau setup to infringe. Everyone who works at the ATF are worthless anti-American pieces of schiff. Get a real F'n job. Explosives, oh no, can't have those now. You don't have a need to blow up the boulder or tree stump in your back forty, cuz your just a Rube Boomer, and don't know any better. You'll blow yourself up. If someone wants to make or use explosives for illegal uses, like terrorism, perhaps you shouldn't have let them in the country in the first place. Don't worry about my safety to take way my liberty.

You realize that at some point in our history there were zero laws pertaining to Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. All four have existed since our founding, and looky here, us rubes are still kickin'.

The same year the Bill of Rights was ratified, 1791, the whiskey tax was passed.

Wow I certainly appreciate all the time and effort that you put into your post, you are completely wrong. There is actually nothing wrong with the word “of” with regard to the government.
