Any investigations the feds need to do - like stopping some powerful mob ring - can be handled by specially authorized DOJ task forces, on a temporary basis, working closely with states' investigation agencies.
That was also true when the FBI was started, so I'm pretty sure the whole thing was a power-grabbing scam in the first place.
And even if you like what certain federal agencies are doing, there's no reason the states can't do that either. Why do you need a federal license to manufacture ammo? That's the most obvious abuse of the commerce clause and run-around 2A there could possibly be.
I don't think you need a federal license to manufacture ammo (reloading is a thing). You may need a federal license to manufacture ammo as a business, and you definitely do to manufacture firearms as a business (which are both unconstitutional infringements) but I've definitely heard of people selling ammo they manufactured/assembled/reloaded themselves.
We absolutely should abolish the ATF.
And the FBI. The CIA. TSA. Basically every single 3 letter agency that has or does exist.
Fuck, go ahead and preemptively abolish every single future 3 letter agency while we're at it.
How can an agency like the ATF whose only goal is to infringe upon the 2nd Amendment even exist?
