Videos tagged with Willful Violations

This video details a significant policy shift by the ATF, moving away from a 'zero tolerance' approach to FFL violations. The new Administrative Order 5370.1H emphasizes assessing violations individually, considering intent and repetition, rather than revoking licenses for single clerical errors. While a victory for gun dealers, the policy retains ATF discretion and is subject to future administrative changes. The content highlights the impact of public pressure, lawsuits, and congressional action on ATF enforcement practices.

This video discusses the ATF's withdrawal of its 'zero tolerance' policy targeting gun stores for minor paperwork errors, a move prompted by lawsuits led by Michael Cargill. The policy, implemented under the Biden administration, was criticized for unfairly revoking Federal Firearms Licenses (FFLs) over inadvertent mistakes, impacting the supply chain and Second Amendment rights. The withdrawal effectively reinstates previous enforcement standards, allowing gun stores to operate without the constant fear of closure due to honest mistakes.

The Biden Administration has set a new record for revoking Federal Firearms Licenses (FFLs), with a 'zero tolerance' policy leading to a significant increase in revocations. This policy, implemented through revamped inspection programs and analytical tools, is reportedly leading to revocations for minor clerical errors rather than solely for willful violations. The article highlights concerns that this approach may be an indirect method of civilian disarmament by reducing the number of legal firearms dealers.

This video discusses the 'Firearm Act,' introduced by Senator Joanie Ernst, aimed at protecting Federal Firearms Licensees (FFLs) from what the speaker describes as the ATF's 'overzealous application of zero tolerance policies.' The bill proposes allowing FFLs to self-report and correct errors before license revocation, requiring the ATF to work with FFLs on violations, and mandating proof of willful intent for violations. It also seeks to establish a process for judicial review of ATF decisions.

This video discusses alleged overreach by the ATF under the Biden Administration, focusing on the "factoring criteria for firearms with attached stabilizing braces" rule, which is claimed to effectively ban pistol braces nationwide. It also addresses the revocation of Federal Firearms Licenses (FFLs) for minor paperwork violations. The speaker argues these actions undermine Second Amendment rights and constitute "lawless over-regulation" by unelected bureaucrats.

This video discusses a leaked ATF document revealing a 'zero tolerance' policy for Federal Firearm Licensees (FFLs). The policy suggests license revocation for even minor violations, with a focus on 'willful' infractions. The report highlights concerns that this aggressive stance may punish legitimate businesses for honest mistakes rather than improving public safety.

This video by Brandon Herrera, an FFL holder himself, critically examines the Biden administration's new gun control strategy. He argues that the administration is using the ATF and a 'zero-tolerance' policy for 'willful violations' to disproportionately revoke Federal Firearms Licenses (FFLs) from gun stores. Herrera suggests this is a covert method to restrict firearm access by targeting dealers rather than focusing on actual crime prevention. He calls for legal action and support for organizations fighting against this perceived abuse of power.
