Dissolving the ATF hasn't always been a priority for just Republicans, who generally oppose gun restrictions. Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.), the top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, previously introduced a bill in 1993 to turn over the ATF's duties to other parts of the Justice Department.
He didn't exactly want to get rid of it, he wanted the Clinton justice department to run the show.

Janet Reno? That would have been worse, now I see Conyers angle.
