What Gun Regulations Should be “Repealed or Replaced”? The ATF Wants to Know.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is polling outside interest groups about what gun regulations to eliminate following an edict from the Trump administration to cut government red tape.
In three closed-door meetings held in May and June, top ATF officials separately asked firearms-industry leaders, law enforcement officials, and representatives from gun-violence prevention groups what current regulations could be eliminated without risking public safety, according to attendees who went to one or more of the meetings.
Representatives from Americans for Responsible Solutions, the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, and Everytown for Gun Safety attended the session. (Everytown provides financial support to The Trace).
In a blog post about its meeting with the ATF, the National Association of Police Organizations said the ATF had not made any decisions about what regulations it will recommend easing. Other law enforcement groups present included International Association of Chiefs of Police, the Fraternal Order of Police and the National Sheriffs Association, among others, the post said.
