Silence Is Defeat: Why Gun Owners Must Flood ATF Comment Dockets Now

Summary

This Ammoland article urges gun owners to actively engage in ATF public comment periods, emphasizing that these comments build a crucial legal record under the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) for future court challenges or to support pro-Second Amendment deregulatory proposals. It highlights the successful withdrawal of the ATF's "eZ Check" Verification rule (Docket No. ATF-2026-0009) on July 6, 2026, as evidence of efficacy, and stresses the importance of supporting current ATF Director Robert Cekada's proposed rollbacks for "engaged in the business" and stabilizing brace rules.
