I always shake my head everytime I think of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms. Who was the genius that originally put this outfit together? I mean Alcohol and Firearms??? What a ridiculous combo.
Well, it's just recently, however, that some dolt in D.C. realizes that the tobacco unit of the ATF was the odd man out, so they decided to included.... *gasp*.... EXPLOSIVES????
So, now we have the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives. As scared as I was thinking about Uncle Sam grouping Alcohol/Firearms together, I'm really frightened at the prospect of Cigarettes/Explosives!!!

While perhaps ironic, it is also true that those are the four things the federal government tries hardest to track and control other than drugs - which has its own department.

Nothing mixes as well as alcohol and guns... that's how the Mexican and Russian Revolutions were won...
