After the horror of Ruby Ridge and the brutality of Waco, you might expect the newly elected Clinton Administration to blame their predecessors and walk back some of the abuses of the ATF. Instead, they launched an comprehensive coverup campaign, commended the Waco commanders, and rammed through a new Assault Weapons Ban. How did they get away with it?

History of the ATF - Part 1: How Prohibition Built the Bureau
This is a video on the T-Rex lab channel, but due to the number of requests, we're also posting it here for easier listening.
The actions of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives don't get as much attention as they should, but most people are generally aware of their recent history. However, to get a better understanding of how they developed as an enforcement agency, we have to go back to their first assignment. This will be a multi-part examination of where the ATF came from, and where they should go.
