The ATF part of BATFE should indeed be disbanded. A billion here, a few billion there (like food stamp/welfare fraud committed by the able-bodied who just don't bother to try to earn a paycheck), and soon we're talking real reform.
The E part of the whole thing, on the other hand, really does need to be regulated. I certainly don't want any Cletus to able to buy as much dynamite (or worse) as he can afford. Not without a lot of training in safety and how to use it without blowing everyone around him to kingdom come.

ReplyDeleteBut, TCA, you're not a Cletus! I would be willing to bet you have at least minimal training to handle said stuff safely, and would be more inclined to follow instructions for safe handling.
DeleteMost are not so trained/inclined.
