Frequently Asked Questions

What significant change has the ATF made regarding gun store inspections?

What is the expected outcome of reducing ATF gun store inspectors?

The reduction in inspectors is anticipated to foster a more collaborative relationship between the ATF and gun stores. The hope is that inspections will focus more on educating retailers and helping them correct errors, rather than solely on punitive enforcement.
