Reply #27: If the ATF needs more agents, then they should get more agents [View All]

Adding more laws for them to enforce is inferior to getting them the agents they need to enforce the current laws.



There's a similar parallel to the people that are upset because state and local police won't investigate and arrest people that are here illegally. When they make that assertion, I look at them and say "So you want your taxes to go up so the police can hire more officers and build more jails to hold them?"


If we want more agents to enforce the laws, then we need to grit out teeth and pull out our wallets to pay for it. Double the size of the ATF. Hell, triple them! 260 million guns being watched by 5,000 people? Millions of new firearm sales a year... with a handful of people processing them?
