Yesterday, Attorney General Pam Bondi repealed a critically important ATF rule called “zero tolerance” that was aimed at shutting down criminal gun dealers. Only 5% of gun dealers supply 90% of crime guns in the country and this policy was designed to specifically target those bad actors. Repealing this policy will make us all less safe, and we need to hear what real Americans think on this issue:

Friend,
Trump’s Department of Justice believes that “the 2nd Amendment is not a second-class right,” but what about the right of Americans to live freely, without the threat of being gunned down?
In what is only the beginning of the Trump Administration’s assault on critically important gun violence prevention legislation, the Department of Justice announced yesterday that they would repeal ATF’s “zero tolerance” policy, claiming that it “unfairly targeted law-abiding gun owners and created an undue burden on Americans seeking to exercise their constitutional right to bear arms.”
And friend, this analysis couldn’t be more wrong.
The “zero tolerance” policy did not impact gun owners, it only made it easier for the ATF to hold accountable gun dealers that willfully and egregiously broke the law.
This policy didn’t create any new barriers to obtaining a firearm, it attempted to stem the flow of illegally sold weapons into the criminal market.
The truth is, repealing this critical policy will allow rogue gun dealers to stay in business, even if they sell guns to prohibited purchasers or fail to run background checks – and we will all be less safe. The Second Amendment does not give gun dealers the right to operate outside of law and order. If you agree, will you respond to our live poll NOW? >>
