The Department of Justice (DOJ) and ATF are reportedly revisiting and revising the 'frames and receivers' rule and the 'engaged in the business' rule. This follows the DOJ voluntarily dismissing its appeal in a Fifth Circuit case against the ATF, indicating the current rules are on shaky legal ground. A new notice of proposed rulemaking is expected, suggesting a strategic retreat by the government to avoid a definitive court loss and to re-attempt regulation with a revised approach.
The US Department of Justice has repealed the ATF's 'zero tolerance' policy, which mandated the revocation of FFLs for dealers accused of willful violations like failing background checks or selling to prohibited individuals. This policy, implemented under the Biden administration, was criticized for being overly punitive. The repeal aligns with President Trump's directive to review gun regulations and is seen as a step to reduce ATF overreach, though its temporary nature and susceptibility to legal challenges are noted.
