Bill 118 hr 374, also known as the Abolish the ATF Act, is a piece of legislation introduced in the US Congress. The bill aims to abolish the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), which is a federal law enforcement agency responsible for enforcing laws related to firearms, explosives, alcohol, and tobacco.
The bill argues that the ATF is redundant and unnecessary, as its responsibilities could be handled by other existing agencies such as the FBI and the DEA. Proponents of the bill believe that abolishing the ATF would streamline government operations and save taxpayer money.
Opponents of the bill argue that the ATF plays a crucial role in enforcing gun laws and regulating the firearms industry. They believe that abolishing the ATF would weaken gun control efforts and make it easier for criminals to obtain firearms.
The Abolish the ATF Act has sparked debate among lawmakers and interest groups on both sides of the issue. It remains to be seen whether the bill will gain enough support to pass in Congress and become law.
