Well for one thing it would make BATFE biggger, you can change 2011 to 2012 and extend the timeline out to 2015:
SEC. 9. AUTHORITY TO HIRE PERSONNEL TO ADDRESS TRAFFICKING IN FIREARMS.

(b) Authority To Hire Personnel To Address Trafficking in Firearms-
(1) IN GENERAL- The Director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives shall hire 500 additional Industry Operations Investigators and 1,000 additional Special Agents, subject to the availability of appropriations, for the purpose of addressing trafficking in firearms, as described in section 932 of title 18, United States Code, as added by this Act.

Doesn't this mean that we'd be hiring even more gun-running agents to deliver even more guns to the Mexican drug cartels?
Oh wait - congress made that illegal going forward.
Uh.. they can't bug the Hell's Angels anymore...
What will all those agents do?
I guess they will actually inspect gun dealers.
