Part 5/8:
Trump's executive order seeks to fundamentally reassess the role of the ATF within the broader gun rights framework. The discussions touch on controversial regulations established during the preceding administration. Trump's perspective is clear: he believes that many of these regulations need revisiting and potentially repealing.
For instance, Trump suggests that the enforcement arms of the ATF should be redirected to immigration enforcement, arguing that the agency’s role could be more effectively utilized in addressing illegal immigration.
Conversely, he proposes that regulatory functions of the ATF should continue unimpeded to support the lawful gun industry, ensuring compliance without adding layers of complexity that hinder business operations.
