Frequently Asked Questions

What is the ATF's zero tolerance policy that was repealed?

The ATF's zero tolerance policy, enacted during the Biden administration, mandated the revocation of Federal Firearms Licenses (FFLs) for even minor clerical errors on paperwork, removing the discretion previously allowed for simple mistakes.

What is the significance of the DOJ repealing the ATF's zero tolerance policy?

The repeal means that hundreds of FFLs shut down under the previous policy will have their cases reviewed for potential reinstatement. It signifies a rollback of strict enforcement measures that disproportionately affected small businesses for non-willful errors.

How did the zero tolerance policy impact FFLs?

The policy led to a significant increase in FFL revocations, with hundreds shut down for clerical errors that were previously correctable. This contrasted sharply with the average of 40 revocations per year before the policy.

What happens to FFLs whose licenses were revoked under the zero tolerance policy?

These FFLs are slated for a review by the ATF. If the revocation is determined to be solely due to the zero tolerance policy, the decision will reportedly be reversed, potentially allowing them to regain their licenses.
