The problem I foresee is the disconnect between any cancellation of agencies and the legislation which created the functions. Properly, one would enact a nullification of the original enabling legislation, and then the agency would go "poof." They can probably do much by comparing the requirements of the enabling legislation against the work patterns of the agency, and boil things down to the bone. One might also apply the principle that, if a function has been legislated which is not within the specified powers of the Legislature, it is null and void. By this means, the ATF could be eliminated (with some possible question over matters pertaining to alcohol and the 21st amendment).
