A group of 30 GOP senators, led by Senator John Cornyn of Texas, sent a letter to ATF Deputy Director Marvin G. Richardson.
The letter called for the ATF to review and rescind several Biden administration firearm policies and rules, which they described as infringing upon Americans’ Second Amendment rights.
These included regulations on “ghost guns,” pistol braces, “zero-tolerance” policies for federal firearms license dealers, and the “engaged in business” rule aimed at closing the so-called “gun show loophole.”
The senators’ request aligned with an executive order issued by President Trump on February 7, 2025, directing Attorney General Pam Bondi to review all Biden-era firearms regulations.
