ATF MUST PROVIDE GUIDANCE TO GUN DEALERS!
We won our case, but ATF is stalling, so let’s turn up the heat and make them clear things up for dealers and gun owners nationwide…
On August 5th, GOA won our “One Big Beautiful Lawsuit,” against the registration requirements of the NFA.
But, in the weeks following the decision, many GOA members have found that their dealer will not transfer them a short barreled firearm or suppressor without one thing…
Guidance from ATF.
All over the country, gun shops have been advising their customers that they’re awaiting guidance from ATF on how to go about transferring an unregistered short barreled firearm or suppressor.
I’ve encountered this situation personally with my local gun shop, and so have many other members of GOA staff.
And of course, ATF has not said a word as to when gun owners or dealers all across the country should expect to know how to engage with this landmark decision.
This is the unfortunate reality of federal firearms regulation.
And, this is why GOA is opposed to ALL gun control.
While some FFLs are proceeding with transactions, others are not—instead waiting for ATF to clear up the grey areas out of fear of potential consequences.
That’s why we’re calling on all GOA members to do two things.
First, click the red button below to contact your members of Congress, and urge them to force ATF to issue guidance in line with our ruling, and with Congress’ own letter to ATF.
Second, call the DOJ’s comment line at 202-353-1555 and let them know that you’ll be asking Congress to cut their funding if ATF continues stalling.
ATF IS STALLING, CONGRESS CAN STOP IT
ATF must provide guidance, and yet it’s been weeks since GOA’s victory with no word to dealers across the country.
The silence from ATF is deafening.
But as we know with Bureaucrats, they respond to one thing, and one thing only.
Pressure.
Congress has the power of the purse.
If ATF doesn’t want their budget cut, they should immediately issue guidance that aligns with this ruling, and the intent of Congress.
That means removing the registration requirements on these items and extending GOA’s victory to all gun owners nationwide.
Congress can pressure ATF into taking action, we just need to make sure that they do so.
We’ve already written the email for you. All you need to do is click below, and it will go straight to your elected officials, urging them to press ATF on this issue and hold them accountable to gun owners like you.
Of course, GOA won’t stop fighting until the rest of the NFA is dead and gone.
