#1 I thought I would always remember ATF as the agency that smuggled assault rifles to the Mexican cartels. Now I have another reason.

#2 The ATF may be the dumbest federal agency. This is like a kid crouching under a blanket in Hide and Seek.

#4 The ATF made some egregious mistakes during Waco operation against the Branch Davidians.

Four ATF agents were killed in that operation.

The ATF makes mistakes all the time but that is partly because the it gets involved in complex situations where intel is sketchy or wrong. The working level of agents are mostly good people and well trained. The political appointees are typically sub competent. In many Federal positions, sub competent people at the top can be ameliorated by competent people at the working level. Unfortunately, this is sometimes not the case at the ATF.

#6 Terminate the DEI head and then terminate the ATF supervisor that tried this little hornswoggle -- pour encourager les autres.

#8 As somebody once said "Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms should be the name of a convenience store, not a government agency."
