Republicans have accused the Biden administration of weaponizing the ATF against gun owners in the U.S. ATF regulates firearms and, with local enforcement, traces weapons that have been used in crimes.
It’s important to be precise in describing these issues. Defining the problem as simply “gun violence is the number one cause of death in children and teens” is at best vague, and at worst propagandistic and intentionally misleading.
Grassroots activists want an ATF chief who adheres to the Second Amendment, and who “can tell the difference between the good guys and genuine bad guys.
