It wouldn't be a problem if we put ATF back under Treasury where it belongs (thanks Dubya ... you dumbass). It should only exist to process payment of Federal excise taxes on alcohol, tobacco and firearms. There should be zero law enforcement aspect to their work at all ... it should be an office of unarmed clerks and accountants and that's it.

Frankly I don't believe these excise taxes should exist at all either (along with 90% of taxes) but a world without any form of taxation is a fantasy world, so if there must be taxes I understand that you need to have an office you can mail payment to and a staff to manage those payments. But that's it.
