    What is this crap? "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em?"The FBI is a step up from the ATF, but they're cut from the same cloth when you get down to it.

    I'm not so sure. In fact I'm not sure the ATF should have an enforcement arm at all. Frankly I'd like to see them turned into an administrative agency who turns "infractions" over to an true law enforcement agency -- assuming they survive at all. There's been some talk that the BATF has outlived its usefulness to American democracy. I can't help wondering when was the last time they busted down somebody's door (or burned their compound) over tobacco...
