The Biden-Harris ATF has reversed its unlawful “zero-tolerance” policy that allowed the agency to revoke federal firearms licenses (FFL) over minor paperwork errors, following AFL and @TPPF’s lawsuit.
/2 Historically, FFL holders were required to “willfully” violate the Gun Control Act (GCA) to lose their licenses.
This required intentional and reckless disregard for the GCA’s requirements in filling out the federal form.
/3 In 2021, ATF issued a punitive and unlawful policy redefining “willfulness” to allow the federal government to revoke FFLs for typographical or inadvertent errors and minor violations.
/4 Sold as “zero-tolerance for rogue gun dealers that willfully violate the law,” the Biden-Harris Administration used ATF’s policy as a hammer against gun stores.
/5 In just the first year, FFL revocations increased by more than 500 percent, and three times as many gun store licenses were revoked in 2022 than in 2021.
/6 AFL and TPPF took action and sued the Biden-Harris ATF to stop its illegal conduct.
/7 Now, with the case ready for decision, ATF has backed off, dropped its unlawful policy, and returned to the statutory definition of what “willful” means.
/8 Lawless federal executive action is tyranny, plain and simple.
AFL is proud to stand with TPPF and defend law-abiding Americans’ constitutional right to own, sell, and carry firearms.
