The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) is beginning the reform work directed by President Donald Trump\u2019s Executive Order<\/a><\/strong> on Protecting Second Amendment Rights. Those reforms, reportedly, could include<\/a><\/strong> changes in firearm regulations as well as budget adjustments and achieving manpower efficiencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s welcome news and a delivering on reform efforts announced earlier this year by the Trump administration. NSSF has called for ATF reforms for years, especially after the Biden administration wielded the ATF as a bludgeon<\/a><\/strong> against the firearm industry for political reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In response to a request from ATF, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has reportedly sent some lawyers to assist ATF with its goal to change 47 regulations \u2013 a reference to President Trump as the 47th<\/sup> president, according to Newsmax<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 but could go higher with changes reportedly set for 50 regulations. Some of those proposals could be ready for review as soon as July 4. Robert Leider, ATF\u2019s General Counsel, is supervising the effort. He\u2019s gained admiration for his stalwart support<\/a><\/strong> of the Second Amendment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reforms Over Change<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s all against the backdrop of the Trump administration\u2019s proposal to merge the ATF into the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), which requires Congressional approval. That\u2019s a move NSSF doesn\u2019t think is the best for gun owners or the industry. Course corrections are already taking place within the ATF and NSSF believes that\u2019s the best way forward<\/a><\/strong>. President Trump named FBI Director Kash Patel, and later Army Secretary Daniel Driscoll as ATF\u2019s Acting Director<\/a><\/strong>. That was followed shortly by the announcement<\/a><\/strong> that Robert Cekada was named<\/a><\/strong> as the ATF\u2019s Deputy Director, who brings over two decades of ATF experience and three decades of law enforcement understanding to the job. But combining the two agencies, which is not a new idea<\/a><\/strong>, could invite future administrations to revive the Biden administration-era abuses yielding a significantly larger federal agency against the industry and gun owners. Further, the deep relationships between NSSF and ATF are at stake and ATF has long recognized that the firearm industry \u2013 and firearm retailers, specifically \u2013 are vital<\/a><\/strong> to preventing illegal firearm trafficking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NSSF also has concerns with the Trump administration\u2019s plans to slash ATF\u2019s budget by about $480 million. Efficiencies can be found and DOGE\u2019s work inside ATF is welcome. The budget can be slimmed but might be better done with a scalpel instead of a meat cleaver. Deep cuts could negatively impact both the firearm industry and customers who want to buy guns<\/strong><\/a>. Drastic budget cuts could come\u00a0at the expense<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0of National Firearms Act (NFA) form approvals, import permits, license issuance and renewals and product classifications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

None of this is to say that the sky is falling, as some critics<\/a><\/strong> would have you believe. DOGE has proven that it can find better ways of doing business and identifying duplicitous, outdated and unnecessary regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reforms Underway<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Reforms at ATF are already happening. NSSF is working to bring about more changes. Reuters reported<\/a><\/strong> that ATF said it was \u201creviewing and modernizing its regulations consistent with\u201d President Trump\u2019s Executive Order and U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi\u2019s establishment of a Second Amendment Task Force<\/a><\/strong> to advance, protect and promote compliance with the Second Amendment. \u201cThis modernization project focuses on ATF\u2019s enforcement on violent criminals, while reducing the unnecessary burdens on lawful gun owners and dealers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those are the reforms that started with President Trump\u2019s Executive Order<\/a><\/strong> to have AG Bondi examine all orders and regulations<\/a><\/strong> to assess if they infringe on the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens. The reforms started almost immediately. The Department of Justice (DOJ), along with ATF, formally announced the end of the \u201czero tolerance\u201d policy<\/a><\/strong> and is reconsidering the \u201cEngaged in the Business\u201d Final Rule<\/a><\/strong> and the Final Rule<\/a><\/strong> regarding factoring criteria for firearms with attached \u201cstabilizing braces.\u201d NSSF applauded<\/a><\/strong> those announcements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ATF recently issued two new rulings<\/a><\/strong> that allow for the importation of non-lethal training rounds, or simulation rounds, mostly used by the military and law enforcement for training purposes, and for dual-use barrels. The training rounds were banned for import in 2023 by the Biden administration. Dual-use barrels were banned for import in 2005 if they had previously been used in a firearm determined to be \u201cnon-sporting.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ATF also\u00a0confirmed to NSSF<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0that the Demand 2 Program is ending. That program, begun in February of 2000 during the antigun Clinton administration, required federal firearms licensees (FFLs) that have 25 or more firearms traced back to them subsequent to the recovery at a crime scene and the time from retail sale to trace is three years or less (what ATF calls \u201ctime-to-crime\u201d) to submit an annual report followed by quarterly reports of used firearms acquired by the firearm retailer. NSSF has been critical of the misuse of this protected firearm trace data<\/strong><\/a> to attempt to \u201cname-and-shame\u201d firearm retailers for crimes in which they had no involvement. And, NSSF has also confirmed that ATF is working to simplify and shorten the Form 4473<\/strong><\/a>, making it less cumbersome for firearm retailers and the customers they serve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NSSF is eagerly awaiting further reforms as ATF refocuses on its core mission of combating violent crime with the industry as its partner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
