Concur. The BATFE is the police in charge of what is legal. It is legal to produce and consume alcohol, it is legal to grow and consume tobacco, it is legal to manufacture, own and use firearms. It is legal to produce and use explosives. The explosives investigation part should go back to the FBI. Regulation within states can be accomplished within states. Regulation on interstate commerce of firearms should not happen, because of the 2nd amendment. States regulations must show a compelling need, because of the 14th. There should be a rebuttable presumption of unconstitutionality for all firearms regulations that prevent firearm ownership, and out of state persons should not be more regulated than their home state because of the P AND I clause protecting the rights of people traveling from other states.
