Frequently Asked Questions

What is the main reason Senators are demanding the DOJ remove the new ATF gun control rule?

Senators argue the rule is an abuse of power by the ATF and Biden Administration, attempting to circumvent Congress and implement gun control measures through administrative action rather than legislation. They believe it targets law-abiding citizens and lacks Congressional authorization.

How does the proposed ATF rule allegedly circumvent Congress?

The rule is accused of working around past gun control legislation and administrative action to achieve goals like universal background checks, which Congress has not authorized. This bypasses the legislative process that requires Congressional debate and approval.

What is the concern regarding the rule's impact on criminals?

The letter from Senators points out that the proposed rule disclaims any intent to apply its presumptions in criminal proceedings. This suggests the rule is overly broad, unenforceable in court, and primarily targets individuals who are not criminals.

What is the Biden Administration's stated goal regarding gun control without legislation?

The administration has stated its intent to move the U.S. as close to universal background checks as possible without additional legislation. Senators argue the administration does not have the unilateral authority to impose such policies.
