ATF seeking to ban the private sale of firearms (?)

[BurkeM]

BATFE is DOJ?
I thought they were Treasury?

They were... before 2002.
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.

I am sure if they had their way, they would ban ALL firearm sales.
