ATF Clampdown Sparks Senator's Bold Countermove: FIREARM Act Unleashed

In response to the Biden administration's stringent ATF regulations, Senator Joni Ernst introduced the FIREARM Act. The legislation aims to rectify the current "zero-tolerance" policy, which has led to a significant increase in federal firearms license revocations.

By providing a "safe harbor" for self-reporting minor infractions, the bill seeks to foster a more cooperative environment between the ATF and firearms dealers.

This initiative, endorsed by the National Shooting Sports Foundation, aims to ensure fair treatment for law-abiding gun sellers while preserving Second Amendment rights. It's a crucial step in maintaining a balanced dialogue on gun ownership and safety.

They argue that Cornyn's history of compromising on gun control undermines conservative values and the Second Amendment.
