DOJ and ATF Repeal Zero Tolerance Policy, Major Second Amendment Win for the Trump Administration<\/a><\/p>\n

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE<\/p>\n

April 7, 2025<\/p>\n

Washington, D.C. \u2013 In a significant win for the Second Amendment, the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) announced today the repeal of the controversial Federal Firearms Administrative Action Policy, also known as the Zero Tolerance Policy. First introduced under the Biden administration, the policy aggressively targeted gun dealers for minor paperwork errors\u2014creating fear and uncertainty across the firearms community.<\/p>\n

The decision to roll back this anti-gun policy comes under the direction of the Trump administration and marks a key step toward restoring Americans\u2019 access to firearms. The DOJ and ATF, now led by Attorney General Pam Bondi and Acting ATF and FBI Director Kash Patel, will also begin formal reviews of the tyrannical stabilizing brace rule and the unlawful \u201cengaged in the business\u201d rule used to target private gun sellers.<\/p>\n

The stabilizing brace rule, which attempted to reclassify braced pistols as short-barreled rifles under the National Firearms Act, and the \u201cengaged in the business\u201d rule, which was a backdoor attempt to create Universal Background Checks, were both the subject of national backlash and multiple court challenges.<\/p>\n

Gun Owners of America has long sounded the alarm on the weaponization of the ATF under the Biden administration, where bureaucratic overreach was used to harass law-abiding gun dealers and crush small businesses. The so-called \u201cZero Tolerance\u201d Policy wasn\u2019t about safety\u2014it was about control. GOA and Gun Owners Foundation responded with force, filing two major federal lawsuits: Kiloton Tactical v. ATF and Morehouse Enterprises, LLC v. ATF (II). Today\u2019s repeal is a direct result of sustained legal and grassroots pressure\u2014and a clear sign that this administration is serious about restoring constitutional order.<\/p>\n

Erich Pratt, Senior Vice President of Gun Owners of America, issued the following statement:<\/p>\n

\u201cFor years, the Zero Tolerance Policy has been a tool of political retribution\u2014targeting gun stores and Americans who were simply trying to exercise their rights. We applaud President Trump, Attorney General Bondi, and Director Kash Patel for listening to gun owners and taking action to repeal this abusive policy. This is what pro-gun leadership looks like.\u201d<\/p>\n

Aidan Johnston, Director of Federal Affairs for Gun Owners of America, issued the following statement:<\/p>\n

\u201cUnder President Trump\u2019s leadership, we\u2019re seeing a realignment toward the Constitution. This repeal and regulatory review of ATF\u2019s \u201cZero Tolerance\u201d Policy sends a clear message that the era of Biden gun control is over. GOA is grateful for the administration\u2019s commitment to restoring Second Amendment rights and standing with law-abiding gun owners nationwide.\u201d<\/p>\n

GOA spokesmen are available for interviews. Gun Owners of America is a nonprofit grassroots lobbying organization dedicated to protecting the right to keep and bear arms without compromise.
