What can the DEA do to prosecute more internally and externally? We would have to revert back to the ways of less human-rights friendly warfare. We would have to build physical and surveillance barriers. On borders. We would have to more heavily control shipments of goods and overall freedom of navigation of waters. We would have to turn our nation into a prison-island.
As for the ATF, well, only so much one can do for stolen arms… and even then we may have a critical mass problem. Unless we abolish the right to self-defense and start violating civil rights to clear the possession of weapons.
All politically untenable, and so what would rolling up these departments do other than consolidating power? They would have the exact same set of issues.
Much like invading Afghanistan, it’s a winnable issue in theory. After all, Alexander the Great did. However, modern political reality defeats you before the boardgame is out of the box.
