Elimination of the Failed Fast and Furious Bureaucracy is Long Overdue.

• https://www.lewrockwell.com

A bill has been proposed in U.S. House of Representatives that would eliminate the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

The ATF Elimination Act, which was reintroduced by Wisconsin Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner on Thursday, calls for an ATF hiring freeze and would transfer the ATF's current responsibilities to the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Drug Enforcement Administration.

According to the bill, the FBI and DEA would need to submit a plan for scaling down ATF affairs within 180 days of the bill's enactment into law. Within one year, the FBI would have to issue a report to the General Services Administration regarding ATF property that will either need to be transferred or excessed.
