Why it’s time to abolish the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco Firearms and Explosives

In the scheme of things, trying to return to fiscal responsibility and getting unneeded programs and agencies cut, The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives represents a drop in the bucket.  It’s a bucket that is not needed, has been ineffective and it’s time for it to be abolished.

Perhaps it’s time that the members of congress refresh their memories on the Second Amendment contained within the Bill of rights to the Constitution. 

A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (abbreviated ATF) is a federal law enforcement organization within the United States Department of Justice.

Its responsibilities include the investigation and prevention of federal offenses involving the unlawful use, manufacture, and possession of firearms and explosives, acts of arson and bombings, and illegal trafficking of alcohol and tobacco products.

Frankly their strategic plan from the ATF website, is a complete farce, containing many words and little meaning.

And now… the rest of the story. …..
