CATO is going after ATF abuses:
When the Republicans took control of the Congress in 1995, there was talk of abolishing the ATF for its appalling role in the Waco incident. (For background, read this and/or watch this). But the GOP “grew in office” as they say, and steadily expanded the budget of the ATF and then approved the construction of a fancy new headquarters. There is still oversight, mind you. The ATF director wanted a $65,000 conference table and the Bush administration put a stop to that. Bush’s people cracked down and said “You guys have to make do with a $33,000 table!”
It’s about time someone did. Via Bitter.

The ATF needs to be drastically down-sized or abolished and its staff transferred to the Border Patrol or I.C.E. where they can do us some good by stopping the invasion of our country and apprehending and deporting illegal aliens.

I’m for treadmills. They can help society by generating cheap, if somewhat unreliable, electricity.
