At least one U.S. senator says the time has come to end the ATF and absorb it into other law enforcement agencies.
Sen. Mike Enzi, R-Wyoming, wrote a letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee, calling for the ATF to be disbanded if it can’t be adequately reformed.
“As you know, the ATF is one of several federal law enforcement components and has been subject to several recent controversies…Given the ATF’s serious challenges, I believe the Senate should examine these proposals and take action to correct the failures of the ATF,” Enzi wrote.
The senator is among a growing chorus of critics calling for the ATF to be transferred to another agency.
