Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms : Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) was a law enforcement agency within the United States Department of the Treasury. Its responsibilities included protecting the public, reducing violent crime, and collecting revenue.ATF enforced the Federal laws and regulations relating to alcohol, tobacco products, firearms, explosives, and arson. On November 25, 2002, the Homeland Security Act of 2002 split the agency into the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives[?] (ATF) within the Department of Justice and the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau[?] (TTB) within the Department of the Treasury. The changes took effect in March 2003.
Some critics of the ATF consider it to have violated its mission of enforcement by participating in an violent attack on the Branch Davidians. ATF consider the raid as needed to serve warrants.

MEMOIRS OF MARIE ANTOINETTE, BY CAMPAN, V6
Alas! her griefs double mine!
His ruin was resolved on; they passed to the order of the day
La Fayette to rescue the royal family and convey them to Rouen
The emigrant party have their intrigues and schemes
Those who did it should not pretend to wish to remedy it

How can I have any regret when I partake your misfortunes
My father fortunately found a library which amused him
Rabble, always ready to insult genius, virtue, and misfortune
Subjecting the vanquished to be tried by the conquerors

A man born solely to contradict
Ah, Madame, we have all been killed in our masters' service!
Allowed her candles and as much firewood as she wanted
Brought me her daughter Hortense de Beauharnais
Common and blamable practice of indulgence
Customs are nearly equal to laws
Dignified tone which alone secures the respect due to power

Etiquette still existed at Court, dignity alone was wanting
