The Trump administration is reportedly moving forward with substantial cuts to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), aiming to fulfill a pro-gun agenda. Central to this initiative is the entry of DOGE into the ATF with a mandate to reduce gun regulations. The Justice Department plans to eliminate two-thirds of inspectors overseeing gun sales, leading to concerns about the future of federal gun enforcement. Critics, including Senator Blumenthal, are voicing opposition to the proposed job cuts within the ATF, as the agency prepares for a significant workforce reduction amid plans for a merger with other departments. This development marks a notable shift in the current gun policy landscape, raising alarms about the potential loosening of regulations.
