This policy essentially allowed the ATF to hold rogue gun dealers who flagrantly broke the law accountable.

90% of guns used in crimes come from just 5% of gun dealers. This policy specifically targeted this small number of dealers, revoking licenses from those with repeated violations of the law that fueled the gun violence epidemic.

Empowering the ATF to stop problematic gun dealers helps prevent gun violence BEFORE it happens. The Trump administration’s actions to reverse this policy is a gift to the gun industry, sending a clear signal to rogue dealers that they can break the law without consequences.
