Trump Administration Rolls Back Dozens of Gun Regulations
The agency is proposing to cut fingerprinting and photo requirements as part of a broader rollback of more than three dozen firearms rules.
- The Trump administration is eliminating more than three dozen firearms regulations, including measures that restricted sales to people with mental illness and loosened oversight of private weapons transactions.
- Trump, who vowed to be "the best friend gun owners have ever had in the White House," is reversing policies implemented during President Joe Biden's administration to lighten regulatory burdens on the firearms industry.
- Agency analyses acknowledged that easing rules on stabilizing braces and mental health restrictions could pose public safety risks "up to and including potential mass casualty events," according to internal cost assessments.
- The National Shooting Sports Foundation supports the changes for regulatory clarity, while the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence warns the approach "takes us back 100 years" and decimates ATF oversight.
- Beyond federal deregulation, the administration sued California and Virginia on Wednesday to challenge state-level restrictions on semiautomatic rifles and Glock-style handguns, extending its push against gun control laws.
