Republicans have ensured that the ATF is not able to really enforce these laws. They are setup to be ineffective.

The ATF is a horribly corrupt organization. They should be disbanded for their roles at Ruby Ridge and Waco.

What does a firearm have to do with alcohol and tobacco?

Ruby Ridge was a disgusting abuse of power and Lon Horiuchi is gross. https://www.grunge.com/210766/the-ruby-ridge-standoff-was-wo...

And here I thought the other party runs the United States government.

I did a quick Google, and -- sure enough! --

"Biden nominee for ATF Director says he's never owned a gun"

And I'm also pretty sure it's not "Republican" DAs and AGs refusing to prosecute crime.

I did a quick Google search and found https://nyti.ms/3edFGs8. Lo and behold, the Biden administration is fixing what can be fixed in ATF.

"At the N.R.A.’s instigation, Congress has limited the bureau’s budget. It has imposed crippling restrictions on the collection and use of gun-ownership data, including a ban on requiring basic inventories of weapons from gun dealers. It has limited unannounced inspections of gun dealers. Fifteen years ago, the N.R.A. successfully lobbied to make the director’s appointment subject to Senate confirmation — and has subsequently helped block all but one nominee from taking office."

I'm pretty sure no DA is refusing to prosecute violent crime. One party is limiting the gun crimes that DAs can prosecute. https://www.salon.com/2022/06/06/us-laws-are-causing-mayhem-...
