You absolutely have to have them though.


Having a special interest out there to lobby to protect gun ownership rights, sure.

But a gun lobby that uses it's influence to water down the ATF and make enforcing laws already on the books, laws that enjoy broad bipartisan support, very difficult (if not impossible) is something else.

The ATF is a gunwalking mess anyway. Their massive failures are well-documented.
