BREAKING: JW filed a FOIA lawsuit with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, & Explosives (ATF) – part of DOJ – for 1900 pages of docs about a proposed reclassification that would effectively ban certain types of AR-15 ammo as “armor-piercing.” (1/4)

JW filed the lawsuit after the ATF failed to respond to our May 2018 FOIA request for the 1900 docs on the Obama Admin’s AR-15 ammo ban efforts. The docs include ATF talking points about the “Armor Piercing Ammunition Notice of Proposed Rulemaking.” (2/4)

This new lawsuit is just the latest development in Judicial Watch’s more than three-year effort to obtain these types of documents from the ATF. Judicial Watch discovered this specific document cache in separate litigation on this ammo ban issue. (3/4)

JW President @TomFitton: “Simply put, the ATF refuses to comply with federal open records law. The ATF has withheld records for 3+ years concerning the Obama Admin’s shady attempt to institute gun control by restricting ammunition instead of guns.” (4/4)
