When you say this, I think that you are speaking mostly out of a hatred of the ATF in general, and a desire to punish them for what they are, as opposed to this particular incident.

But I do agree that Melson's resignation is not enough. When the ATF busts irresponsible FFLs for providing firearms to criminals (or other people who are prohibited from owning them), the dealers don't just lose their licenses and stores. Often, they do face criminal charges. I think a case could be made that a similar punishment is appropriate here. Even though Melson and his people obviously didn't intend to provide firearms to the cartels, it could be argued that they are still guilty of some type of criminal negligence.
