Evidently, Archie boy is either genuingly ignorant or willfully ignorant regarding a time honored American phrase used to describe a situation. I'll dumb it down for him....the "baby" would be the ATF, the "bathwater" would be the morons who screwed up this latest scheme to track guns from the USA to Mexican criminals. In other words, you don't destroy an entire institution because of a screw-up.
The rest of Archie's rant is the usual anti-gov't/gunner clap trap, where they just recreate the wheel regarding what the ATF does, ignore WHY the ATF was invented in the first place. Essentially, Archie rails against one gov't agency and what it does (or what Archie accuses it of doing), but then turns around and says that these functions can be distributed among other gov't agencies.
So if what the ATF does is so illegal and unconstitutional, according to Archie, then what would make it's functions more acceptable done by other agencies?
Archie boy needs to think things through before his fingers hits the keys.
