Dear John,
For too long unelected bureaucrats at the ATF in Washington, D.C., have been making decisions on the classification status of firearms behind closed doors. We need transparency and accountability at the ATF so law-abiding Montana gun owners and gun manufacturers are never left in the dark.
That's why I introduced the “ATF Accountability Act,” which provides transparency to Montana gun owners on rules made by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF).
The ATF engages in a secretive classification review process where the agency makes decisions about whether a particular firearm is regulated by the National Firearms Act.
Decisions and justification for decisions are often only made available to manufacturers in private correspondence. This causes a lot of uncertainty for both gun-owning Montanans and firearm manufacturers. In short, I will continue to fight the D.C.. bureaucracy’s attempts to infringe on your right to keep and bear arms.
Montana Proud,
Senator Steve Daines
