Frequently Asked Questions

Who was appointed as the new ATF Director, and what are the concerns?

Steve Atelbach was appointed as the new ATF Director after being approved by the Senate. Concerns exist because he has previously expressed support for banning 'assault rifles' and standard capacity magazines, which gun rights advocates view as infringements on Second Amendment rights.

How does the Supreme Court's EPA ruling affect the ATF?

The Supreme Court ruled that executive agencies, including the ATF, cannot create law. This means any new regulations or rulings by the ATF that attempt to act as law can be legally challenged and potentially overturned.

What is California Bill 1594, and why is it controversial?

California Bill 1594 proposes a 'Firearms Industry Standard of Conduct,' aiming to make firearm manufacturers liable for injuries caused by their products if they don't implement 'reasonable controls.' Critics argue this is an attempt to circumvent legal protections for manufacturers and could lead to lawsuits.

What actions can citizens take regarding new gun control measures?

Citizens are encouraged to support gun rights organizations like GOA and FPC that litigate against overreach. They should also contact their elected representatives to voice opposition to any compromises on individual liberties and Second Amendment rights.
