TFA’s 2022 Candidate Pledge to stop the abuses of agencies like the ATF

On June 29, 2022, 25 House Republicans sent a letter to ATF demanding answer to questions – questions about why the reported rate of ATF’s license revocations is up approximately 500% in the mere 11 month window following Joe Biden’s public declaration of his intent to increase revocations through zero tolerance of even unintentional regulatory violations on paperwork. Some might notice that there are no Tennessee legislators included on the letter to ATF and wonder why.

Indeed, reports from an attorney who handles ATF matters in Tennessee and similar reports from attorneys in other states indicate that ATF’s revocation mission is not only increasing but it is demonstrating an unwillingness to even negotiate on the statutory right of dealers to submit “settlement proposals” which are also known as “compliance plans” as a means of keeping their licenses.

Information also indicates that many of these ATF license revocation proceedings are for minor issues like failing to fully transcribe TICS/NICS results to a Form 4473, inventory reconciliation issues and even software glitches in electronic records that are the fault of the software vendor – not the dealer.

In light of this clear pattern of abuses and the apparent goal by Biden’s administration to completely choke off the supply chain for items protected by the Second Amendment Tennessee Firearms Association is calling on all candidates in office – in or out of Tennessee to sign the TFA’s 2022 Candidate “ATF” Pledge.

TFA is encouraging each of its members and all Second Amendment supporters to take this pledge with them to their candidates, the incumbents and to any “political event” where “campaigning” might be occurring and insist that these candidates complete the form so that it can be sent back to TFA.
