DOJ, ATF Kill 'Zero Tolerance Policy' That Threatened America's Gun Dealers​

Undoing a major avenue of Biden Administration aggression against gun dealers, the DOJ and ATF on Tuesday announced the termination of the Federal Firearms Administrative Action Policy, also known as the Zero Tolerance Policy. Evidencing the warm relationship between the Trump administration and America's firearm community, the news was first reported by Gun Owners of America (GOA), which scooped every major media outlet. Other moves are reportedly in the works -- including changes to regulation of pistol braces, and background checks on private firearms transactions.
"First introduced under the Biden administration, the policy aggressively targeted gun dealers for minor paperwork errors—creating fear and uncertainty across the firearms community," GOA said in a press release that praised the move as a "major Second Amendment win."
As set out by the Biden administration, the Zero Tolerance Policy set out to yank firearm-dealers' licenses if they were found to have made any of a number of infractions, such as "willfully" selling guns to convicted felons, failing to perform a background check, or failed to help police trace weapons used in crimes. Some critics said it was a pretext for a reducing the number of firearms dealers in the country.

At the time, the White House said the Zero Tolerance Policy was one of its principal concerns:

"Director Kash Patel was briefly designated ATF Director while awaiting Senate confirmations — a standard, short-term move. Dozens of similar re-designations have occurred across the federal government," White House spokesman Harrison Fields said in an email. "Director Patel is now excelling in his role at the FBI and delivering outstanding results."

So... the reversal means they have a "no FFAAP policy?"

Good news for gun shops.

I'll believe this when I see it. Imagine a federal law stating you can sell a gun to your buddy again, but here you still have to have a BGC for ammo.

Not necessarily: The Federal Government may not require it, but the State can and likely will.

To which part of my reply?
Good news for gun shops or that it will be funny if we can sell a gun to a friend again but background checks for ammo is still on the books here in NY.
