"There were mistakes made, but it doesn't justify the ATF being kicked while they are down," Jones told Rosario. "They have a tough mission, but the politics of guns won't let it succeed."

ATF’s Mission
We are ATF.
A unique law enforcement agency in the United States Department of Justice that protects our communities from violent criminals, criminal organizations, the illegal use and trafficking of firearms, the illegal use and storage of explosives, acts of arson and bombings, acts of terrorism, and the illegal diversion of alcohol and tobacco products. We partner with communities, industries, law enforcement, and public safety agencies to safeguard the public we serve through information sharing, training, research, and use of technology.
