Just as Republicans have starved the IRS sections that go after millionaire and billionaire tax cheats, it has for years underfunded the ATF as a sop to the gun lobby.

Right now the GOP continues to fight more funds to the IRS. It's not too difficult to see why: better enforcement of tax laws will impact many of their most wealthy donors.

More funding for the ATF sounds like a no brainer to me, and this article provides one more solid argument for that to happen.
