Here is key info from above article:

“GOA is extremely concerned at the massive surge in ATF funding in recent years—doubling the size of the agency since the end of the Obama administration,” Aidan Johnston, Gun Owners of America’s director of federal affairs, wrote in an email to The Epoch Times.

Biden’s budget proposal contains $1.9 billion for the ATF. This is a 13.6 percent increase over 2022 and half a billion dollars more than the agency’s fiscal 2020 budget.

If passed as written, Biden’s budget would expand the ATF by 35.7 percent—an overall growth of more than 50 percent since the Obama administration.

[Comment: This is confusing -- is it a 13.6% increase or 35.7%?]

According to Biden’s plan, the $1.9 billion would finance the expansion of multi-jurisdictional gun trafficking strike forces, increase firearms industry regulation, and implement the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act.

The proposal also calls for $51 million for the FBI to complete implementing the enhanced background check system that is part of the Act.

Outside of this issue, there's no way his proposed budget will pass the House.

They should spend the money to prosecute the gangbangers who are arrested and released without bail. Just look up the basic stats for Chicago and NY; they walk emboldened to escalate again. But this would require spending more that Soros who has stacked the deck with the liberal DA's and judges.
