DOJ and ATF Repeal Biden-Era 'Zero Tolerance' Gun Dealer Policy

The Trump administration's decision marks a shift in federal firearms regulation, drawing praise from gun rights advocates and criticism from gun control groups.

The U.S. Justice Department and ATF officially repealed the Biden administration's 'zero tolerance' policy on April 7, 2025.
The policy previously mandated revoking gun dealer licenses for minor paperwork errors, sparking criticism from firearms industry groups.
Gun rights organizations, including the NRA and Gun Owners of America, celebrated the repeal as a victory for Second Amendment protections.
President Trump directed a comprehensive review of Biden-era gun regulations, leading to the policy's reversal.
Gun control advocates, such as the Giffords group, warn that the repeal could reduce oversight and potentially increase crime.
