The Tennessee Conservative [By David Seal] –
After announcements by the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) and Department of Justice to roll back the Zero Tolerance and other Biden-Era regulatory abuses, the Tennessee Firearms Association (TFA) released its own statement in support of the policy changes.
The ATF also announced reviews of Rules 2021-08F and 2022R-17 related to stabilizing braces and firearms dealing respectively, music to the ears of Second Amendment advocates like Tennessee Firearms Association and other gun owner advocacy groups.
“These announcements are strong indicators that the appointments by President Trump to the administrative agencies that are responsible for the ATF are now forcing the agency to reconsider whether mandates issued by the Biden Administration and regulatory changes adopted by ATF pursuant to those mandates are having a positive effect by reversing Biden’s open attack on our constitutional rights.” – said TFA Executive Director John Harris
“Today’s repeal of the Zero Tolerance Policy and the comprehensive review of stabilizing brace regulations and the definition of ‘engaged in the business’ marks a pivotal step toward restoring fairness and clarity in firearms regulation. We are committed to working with all stakeholders to ensure our policies are balanced, constitutional and protective of Americans’ Second Amendment rights.” – said Acting ATF Director Kash Patel.
The U.S. Attorney General issued the following statement.
“This Department of Justice believes that the 2nd Amendment is not a second-class right. The prior administration’s ‘Zero Tolerance’ policy unfairly targeted law-abiding gun owners and created an undue burden on Americans seeking to exercise their constitutional right to bear arms – it ends today.” – said U.S. Attorney General Pamela Bondi.
