Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco & Firearms created (1972)

July 1, 1972

Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco & Firearms was created


Enforcement of the Gun Control Act was given to the Dept. of the Treasury’s Alcohol and Tobacco Tax Division of the Internal Revenue Service.
The organization replaced “tax” with “firearms,” nearly doubled in size, and became the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF).
