アルコール局、タバコ、銃器、爆発物（ATF）は、米国司法省内の連邦法執行機関です。ATFが関与する最も有名なスキャンダルの1つは、2006年から2011年の間に行われた「速くて激しい」ガンウォークスキャンダルでした。銃器をメキシコの麻薬カルテルまで追跡するつもりでメキシコに。しかし、ATFは多くの銃器の軌跡を失い、米国国境警備隊の殺人を含む暴力犯罪で使用されました。ATFの行動をめぐる論争は、機関に対する重大な批判につながり、説明責任を求めました。
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) is a federal law enforcement agency within the United States Department of Justice. One of the most well-known scandals involving the ATF was the "Fast and Furious" gunwalking scandal that took place between 2006 and 2011. During this time, the ATF was accused of allowing firearms to be illegally purchased in the United States and then transported into Mexico with the intention of tracking the firearms to Mexican drug cartels. However, the ATF lost track of many of the firearms and they ended up being used in violent crimes, including the murder of a U.S. Border Patrol agent. The controversy surrounding the ATF's actions led to significant criticism of the agency and calls for accountability.
