Now we’re mixing the leadership of law enforcement and military.

In other news, armed minorities are harder to suppress.

    The abrupt change in leadership comes at a time when senior Justice Department officials are weighing whether to merge the ATF with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration as part of an effort to cut costs.

    Merging the departments together under GOP control, really? They’ll have to rename the departments then. These jokes write themselves.

    Drugs, Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms or DAFT?

      No, they need to put it in order of how much they love it: Firearms, Alcohol, Tobacco, and Drugs. They’re getting some FAT D

        ATF literally already has a division named this.

        Firearms and Ammunition Technology Division (FATD).

        They do “testing” on commercial products and in recent years they’ve mostly been tasked with railroading people who didn’t do anything.

        The entire Bureau should be shut down and replaced with a hot dog stand.

      The saying about ATF was that it sounded like a convenience store rather than a govt agency. I guess adding drugs just makes it better.
