"Booze is legal. Tobacco is legal. Alcohol is legal. There is a wing of the government that controls all of this, the ATF. I really think it would be scary if it were the ATFM, MATF, or however else they decide to put [in charge of] it. We need to take this out of the federal government's hands since they are the ones that put the restrictions in place. Make it a local issue, make it a state issue, do it everywhere, and it will no longer be an issue. "
