Republican elected officials have recently introduced legislation to roll back ATF regulations on background checks.
Sens. Jim Risch (R-ID), Mike Crapo (R-ID), Steve Daines (R-MT), and Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) were several of the Republican elected officials who put forward legislation on March 6, 2025 to roll back the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) regulatory hurdles on background checks.
Sen. Risch said the following about his bill:
“Law-abiding gun owners wrongfully denied their Second Amendment rights should be able to appeal their case through an efficient, transparent process. My ATF Transparency Act is simple. It codifies the current appeals process, holds the ATF to a higher standard, and gives Idaho’s lawful gun owners a faster, fairer process for firearm applications.”
Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS), who helped Risch introduce the legislation, made the case for The ATF Transparency Act and why gun owners should get behind this bill:
“As a lifelong gun owner and supporter of the Second Amendment, I came to the Senate with the mission of protecting this sacred Constitutional right of all Kansans. The ATF Transparency Act furthers this mission by requiring the ATF to develop an appeals process to protect Americans’ background checks from being wrongfully denied. This is a commonsense step forward to safeguard the Second Amendment, and I am proud to stand alongside my colleagues in support.”
