The ATF was formerly part of the United States Department of the Treasury, having been formed in 1886 as the “Revenue Laboratory” within the Treasury Department’s Bureau of Internal Revenue. The history of ATF can be subsequently traced to the time of the revenuers or “revenoors”, etc.
Two incidents in the early 1990s involved both the ATF and Federal Bureau of Investigation‘s Hostage Rescue Team (HRT) and brought criticism to both ATF and FBI. …The Ruby Ridge Siege began in June 1990 when ATF filed gun charges against Randy Weaver after he refused an offer to become an informant. …The second incident was the Waco Siege of the Branch Davidians near Waco, Texas on February 28, 1993.
