US EditionJustice Department seeks to roll back gun control measures days after Trump assassination attempt
- Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche announced 34 planned changes to federal gun regulations on Wednesday, marking the largest regulatory overhaul by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives in the last 15 years combined.
- President Donald Trump signed an executive order in February 2025 directing the Justice Department to eliminate 'infringements on Americans' Second Amendment rights,' prompting this sweeping regulatory rollback.
- The changes include rescinding a 2024 rule regarding background checks at gun shows and a 2023 restriction on pistol braces, announced alongside the confirmation of ATF Director Robert Cekada.
- John Feinblatt, president of Everytown for Gun Safety, decried the moves Wednesday, citing the gunman who tried to breach the Washington Hilton dinner last Saturday as a reason for more stringent regulations.
- Blanche insisted the revisions replace confusion with clear language for lawful gun owners, adding that 'nothing we are doing today weakens law enforcement,' despite concerns raised by gun control advocates.
