Some of the changes are expected to ease restrictions on the private sale of #guns & loosening #regulations around shipping #firearms.
Other changes to ATF regulations under consideration would change the types of firearms that can be imported & make licensing fees refundable. Officials are also expected to change the form required to purchase guns to have applicants list their biological sex at birth🙄. The current form asks applicants to list their sex.
Federal officials had considered announcing the changes to coincide with the National Shooting Sports Foundation #gun trade show in Las Vegas, which begins on Tuesday. DAG #ToddBlanche is scheduled to speak at the annual show. The NSSF SHOT is one of the nation’s largest #firearm trade shows, & #DOJ officials in both Democratic & Republican admins have regularly attended it.
