Gun Law - National

I've seen it suggested, and I've thought myself that while completely abolishing the ATF would be a fine idea, the various functions of the ATF would simply end up being moved to other cubbyholes where they would draw less attention. At least until the new regulations were announced as now being in effect.

Destroying the weed that the agency has become might be better done by looking at the abuses they promulgate and specifically removing the ability to commit that abuse. To that end:

However, one Congressman is taking it a step further. Rep. Tom Rooney (R-Fla.) has introduced the Protecting Second Amendment Rights Act. The act goes a step further than just opposing the ATF’s current plan. The bill would completely strip the ATF of their authority to regulate ammunition.
