That giant suckin' sound ya hear is a brain sucker starving to death in Shelia Jackon Lee's skull.
one word
Waco
Don’t most of the “mass shootings” in the US involve street gangs in Democrat run cities?
The former residents of Ruby Ridge and the Branch Davidian
farm may have a different opinion, you nit wit.
I recognize English words, but I discern no meaning.
Remember, an AR-15 fires .50 caliber bullets, and "weighs as much as 10 boxes that you might be moving". Thus saith Sheila Jackson Lee.
Trying to take your guns since 1886.
The ATF did begin to undertake it’s “gun control” mission until the passage of the Gun Control Act of 1968.
Lee is worse then a moron, because diagnosed morons are usually harmless. This imbecile is a voting member of Congress.
Democrats had the Presidency, the House of Representatives and the Senate and did nothing.
Yep. ATF was established July 1, 1972.
Word salad of an imbecile.
One of the dumbest people in Congress.....
That is one dumb Silverback....
“Lee is a complete moron”
That’s soon to be Houston mayor Lee is a complete moron.
She is one major reason why we need term limits.
"moron" would be a step up for her.
That giant suckin' sound ya hear is a brain sucker starving to death in Shelia Jackon Lee's skull.
I want a description of a “mass shooting”.
Seems they are counting the victims-—and calling each one a MASS SHOOTING.
ONE mass shooting: 5 killed==5 MASS SHOOTINGS?
AOC replaced this witch as the dumbest member of congress
What is worse is the cadre of simpletons that are so greedy and stupid they will vote for the next Mrs Lee for another 100 years. Mrs Lees come and go but the greedy simpletons are always there.
The ATF was formerly part of the United States Department of the Treasury, having been formed in 1886 as the “Revenue Laboratory” within the Treasury Department’s Bureau of Internal Revenue. The history of ATF can be subsequently traced to the time of the revenuers or “revenoors”[5] and the Bureau of Prohibition, which was formed as a unit of the Bureau of Internal Revenue in 1920. It was made an independent agency within the Treasury Department in 1927, was transferred to the Justice Department in 1930, and became, briefly, a division of the FBI in 1933.
When the Volstead Act, which established Prohibition in the United States, was repealed in December 1933, the Unit was transferred from the Department of Justice back to the Department of the Treasury, where it became the Alcohol Tax Unit (ATU) of the Bureau of Internal Revenue. Special Agent Eliot Ness and several members of The “Untouchables”, who had worked for the Prohibition Bureau while the Volstead Act was still in force, were transferred to the ATU. In 1942, responsibility for enforcing federal firearms laws was given to the ATU.
In the early 1950s, the Bureau of Internal Revenue was renamed “Internal Revenue Service” (IRS),[6] and the ATU was given the additional responsibility of enforcing federal tobacco tax laws. At this time, the name of the ATU was changed to the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax Division (ATTD).
In 1968, with the passage of the Gun Control Act, the agency changed its name again, this time to the Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms Division of the IRS and first began to be referred to by the initials “ATF”. In Title XI of the Organized Crime Control Act of 1970, Congress enacted the Explosives Control Act, 18 U.S.C.A. Chapter 40, which provided for close regulation of the explosives industry and designated certain arsons and bombings as federal crimes. The Secretary of the Treasury was made responsible for administering the regulatory aspects of the new law, and was given jurisdiction over criminal violations relating to the regulatory controls. These responsibilities were delegated to the ATF division of the IRS. The Secretary and the Attorney General were given concurrent jurisdiction over arson and bombing offenses. Pub.L. 91-452, 84 Stat. 922, October 15, 1970.
In 1972, ATF was officially established as an independent bureau within the Treasury Department on July 1, 1972, this transferred the responsibilities of the ATF division of the IRS to the new Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms. Rex D. Davis oversaw the transition, becoming the bureau’s first director, having headed the division since 1970. During his tenure, Davis shepherded the organization into a new era where federal firearms and explosives laws addressing violent crime became the primary mission of the agency.[7] However, taxation and other alcohol issues remained priorities as ATF collected billions of dollars in alcohol and tobacco taxes, and undertook major revisions of the federal wine labeling regulations relating to use of appellations of origin and varietal designations on wine labels.
In the wake of the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on September 11, 2001, President George W. Bush signed into law the Homeland Security Act of 2002. In addition to the creation of the Department of Homeland Security, the law shifted ATF from the Department of the Treasury to the Department of Justice.[8] The agency’s name was changed to Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives. However, the agency still was referred to as the “ATF” for all purposes. Additionally, the task of collection of federal tax revenue derived from the production of tobacco and alcohol products and the regulatory function related to protecting the public in issues related to the production of alcohol, previously handled by the Bureau of Internal Revenue as well as by ATF, was transferred to the newly established Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB), which remained within the Treasury Department.[9] These changes took effect January 24, 2003.
