DOGE enters US ATF with mandate to slash gun regulations, Washington Post reports

  • On July 1, the Department of Government Efficiency sent staff to ATF to revise or eliminate over 50 gun rules by July 4.
  • Following President Donald Trump’s February executive order to review Biden-era gun rules, DOGE aims to overhaul ATF regulations by July 4, reducing burdens and inefficiencies.
  • DOGE plans to cut the ATF 4473 Form from seven pages to three, consolidating questions and eliminating about 541 inspectors, as part of its overhaul of gun regulations.
  • Gun-Control advocates warn that the rule changes could make it easier for dangerous individuals to obtain firearms, creating safety risks and empowering gun traffickers, Feinblatt said.
  • Meanwhile, 15 Democratic-led states sued on June 9 to block the changes, while some Republicans call to abolish ATF and merge it with DEA.
