The agency, he said, has “entered a new era of reform to rebuild trust with the industry, federal fi****ms licensees, lawful gun owners, and the public while still prioritizing our efforts on public safety.” Actions taken towards this goal include revoking the zero-tolerance compliance policy and replacing it with “a new policy that emphasizes fairness and transparency while recognizing that FFLs are often the first line of defense against gun crime.” ATF had also issued 34 notices of final and proposed rulemakings in compliance with President Trump’s executive order on Second Amendment rights, and Cekada encouraged committee members and their constituents to submit comments on these proposed rules because “we want to make sure that we get these right.”
