Sharp as a Marble

Shut 'em down. They're dishonest and the entire organization needs to be disbanded. I'd have no problems if they themselves followed the law, but the agency acts as if it is totally unaccountable to the people of the United States.

With behavior like this, it’s no wonder that more and more, FFLs and gun owners are assuming that the ATF isn’t interested in enforcing the law, but rather in shutting down licensees across the country.  That’s essentially what’s at stake here for Adventure Outdoors - their business and livelihood.  I don’t run a gun shop - but if I did, I’d think twice about going above and beyond to help them.  I’d stick to the letter of the law, stay perfectly legal, but I wouldn’t do any extra work to help out ATF.  Not if this is how they treat law-abiding firearms dealers.

Give Ahab's article a read.

Robb, they can't follow the law. It is impossible for them to do so. They are the only federal agency of which I know whose charter requires them to violate the Constitution of the United States of Amrica, which is the supreme law.

The only options to make them a legal entity is to make them a non-entity or remove firearms and explosives from their purview.

Since they cannot be trusted to even follow the illegal instructions and mandates in their charter, there is no way we could trust them to follow the law, itself, if the scope of their mission was limited.

Ergo, abolition of the agency is the proper course, as you have stated.
