You’ve probably heard of the Branch Davidians/Waco massacre. The tl, dr is that an ATF sting went horribly wrong and a lot of people died after the FBI failed to get the suspects to surrender. After the incident, there was a push to get rid of the ATF and move it’s work to the FBI. The Right opposed this, because they’d prefer to have gun enforcement in the hands of a weaker, less politically powerful agency.
The Right loves police and law enforcement, until it doesn’t.
Reminds me of a story.
