Dear President-Elect Trump:
It is Christmas Day as I write this, and I have been watching the things you have been doing as President-Elect with ever increasing admiration. I would like to be a “Dollar a Year Man” in your administration—that is to say, to follow your example and eschew a government salary.

Re: John Ross Offers to Serve as ATF Director
Nah. Take the job to serve the people by burying the agency, not make it credible.These statistics clearly show that it is imperative that a BATFE Director be intimately familiar with the areas where BATFE spends 98% of its budget, namely Firearms and Explosives. Even more importantly, the new Director must be sensitive to the legal and cultural issues that exist in the interplay between the Agency he directs and the citizens with whom it interacts.
I am that person. I will bring experience to the job, and restore credibility to this tarnished Agency.
Sincerely yours,
John Ross

I'd rather see Larry Pratt in that role.

"The position I’d like to fill is Director of BATFE. This would dovetail well with your policy of appointing established critics of various troubled agencies (EPA, HUD, etc.) as the people to best lead them, reform them, or, in some cases, oversee their dissolution. " (emphasis added)

Re: John Ross Offers to Serve as ATF Director
Maybe, but I'm ok with regulating explosives. It could just be the BoE?

Re: John Ross Offers to Serve as ATF Director
I'm ok with regulating explosives also. Realizing of course that preventing explosives from being made and used by criminals or terrorists is a lost cause.
So just make regulating explosives a function of the FBI or homeland security and eliminate the whole BATFE.
