The Department of Justice, under White House direction, plans to eliminate or revise over 50 ATF rules and policies by July 4th. Key changes include simplifying Form 4473 by removing background questions, revoking the frame or receiver rule classifying 80% firearms as regulated, and potentially eliminating the arm brace rule. Import/export regulations and licensing fees are also targeted for revision, alongside a reduction in ATF inspector workforce and a shift in inspection focus from minor errors to significant violations.

The goal is to de-facto legalize many items and establish strong legal precedents for gun rights.
