Justice Department Moves to Roll Back Gun Regulations as Senate Confirms New ATF Chief
The package would repeal the frames-and-receivers and pistol brace rules and end zero-tolerance enforcement, officials said.
- Newly confirmed ATF Director Robert Cekada and Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche announced a landmark package of 34 regulatory changes on Wednesday, aiming to modernize the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and reduce administrative burdens on gun owners and dealers.
- Following President Donald Trump's February 2025 Executive Order 14206, the review mandated a comprehensive analysis of Biden-era policies to eliminate what the administration described as infringements on Second Amendment rights.
- Notable revisions include repealing the 'stabilizing brace' rule and revising the 'Engaged in the Business' regulation, which previously pressured private sellers. The package also simplifies recordkeeping and clarifies straw purchase language to focus enforcement on willful criminal violators.
- Second Amendment supporters praised the move as a 'monumental step forward,' while Everytown for Gun Safety condemned the policy, arguing that weakening firearms oversight makes the country less safe.
- Proposed rules will post to the Federal Register in coming days for a 90-day public comment period. Agency leaders emphasize this marks the beginning of a 'New Era of Reform' for federal firearms enforcement.
