Frequently Asked Questions

How does this new bill differ from previous attempts to abolish the ATF?

Unlike previous calls that were often seen as political grandstanding, this bill proposes a strategic shift by re-delegating ATF's powers to the states, aiming to leverage the growing support for Second Amendment sanctuary movements and constitutional carry.

Key proponents include Representatives Barry Moore of Alabama and Eric Burleson of Missouri, who plan to reintroduce the bill with the state provision. Other co-sponsors include Lauren Boebert, Paul Gosar, Mary Miller, Andy Biggs, Cory Mills, Mike Collins, Thomas Massie, and Bob Good.

What is the potential impact of this bill given the current political climate regarding firearms?

With the rise of constitutional carry and a majority of states leaning towards gun rights, proponents believe this bill could benefit more people by shifting authority to states that align better with gun owners' rights, though states with stricter laws would face significant changes.
