I know I will rile someone and I actually know some ATF agents. Did some work for GSA so bumped into alot of the federal agencies like ICE, FBI, IRS, Bureau of mine safety, ATF. Still just not to certain how valid that agency is anymore. There was a time with bootlegging, tobacco wars and firearms when that agency was created because other law enforcement could not handle. I just think that its operations could be absorbed into other agencies now.
Same thing with ICE and Border Patrol. They basically do almost the same thing its just that Border Patrol jurisdiction is 5 miles from a border, ICE has everywhere else. They actually have redound-it operations in close proximity that each work at about half capacity but they will not combine operations, its maddening to see as a tax payer.
