First, don’t be so literal, it makes you look stupid. Second, the BATFE budget.

I decided to check it out. Here is what I found.

The ATF budget for 2010 was $1.1 billion. Just 2% goes for alcohol and tobacco. Arson and explosives is 24% with the rest or more than $800 million being for firearms control .

DOJ-ATF 2010 Budget

Since they spend most of their money -72%- on firearms, it is reasonable to assume that going after sawed-off shotguns consumes many millions of dollars. After automatic weapons and gun shows, what else is there?

I think that CodeToad got this one right.
