The ATF Might Just Change for the Better Under Trump

by

A spokesman for the Second Amendment Foundation believes that the re-elected President could make significant changes to the group. There’s no question that the ATF – the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives – has been a pain in the backside of private gun owners. Under direction from current President Joe Biden, the group has put together several laws that hinder the rights of said gun owners. However, as you’re likely aware, a change … Read more

Why a Ban On Machine Gun Conversion Devices Will End Up Being Archaic and Ineffective

by

A spokesman for the Gun Owners of America discusses a recent piece surrounding the controversial 3D printed devices.

Why Is the ATF Trying To Add Gun Owners To the Federal Gun Registry? (Guest: Stephen Willeford)

by

Gun Owners of America spokesman Stephen Willeford explains why such a registry simply won’t work. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) have sunken to a new low, using the recent attempt on former President Donald Trump’s life to beef up their gun registry. “According to anti-gun leftists, since the ATF was able to use an unconstitutionally assembled federal registry of out-of-business gun store records to track the AR-15 used to its original … Read more

Why Are the Gun Owners of America Suing the ATF? (Guest: Stephen Willeford)

by

But before the rule goes into effect on May 20th, several groups … Read more

by

Over half of the states joined in a lawsuit asking the courts to block a rule from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) that redefines “engaged in the business” of dealing in firearms.

by

Do President Biden and the ATF Have a Case Going After “Ghost Guns”? This Lawyer Doesn’t Seem To Think So

by

The ATF Could Very Well Be Getting a Raise Following Its Push To Ban Pistols With Stabilizing Braces

by

With it, those that own said braces must officially register, or risk being considered a … Read more
