Will you get rid of federal alcohol and tobacco taxes too? Collecting those was the original purpose of this agency. I’m not sure whether firearms were tacked on because…

1) Congress couldn’t think of where else to stick enforcement of the NFA,

2) Congress knew the $200 NFA “fee” was really a tax, and here’s a tax-collecting agency,

3) or, in 1934 the “revenooers” were the only federal agents that had much experience with guns…

Magus, a better fix; get rid of the BATFE and incarcerate all its employees for conspiracy to deny civil right to all Americans. ALL! From the top dog to the janitor.

Easy fix. Delete the F from the ATF and also get rid of the pre-86 requirement on full autos.

With an amendment that allows any Standard English Language usage to be used on any ATF form. That would include your abbreviations. If fact, check that. How about dumping the forms all together and just going with the NICS check. If they pass that, they get the gun. Reduce paperwork.
