Biden admin sued for going after gun sellers · American Wire News

The Biden administration is abusing the 1968 Gun Control Act to take away gun dealers’ licenses over paperwork mistakes, according to a Texas Public Policy Foundation (TPPF) lawsuit filed Wednesday.

In 2021, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) started revoking dealer licenses for firearm transaction paperwork errors violating the Act, despite the legislation only permitting that penalty for “willful” violations, the federal lawsuit says. The plaintiffs, Michael Cargill and his company Central Texas Gun Works (CTGW), are arguing for their customers as well.

The new ATF approach followed the Biden administration unveiling its comprehensive gun crime prevention and public safety strategy in June 2021, with a memorandum telling ATF agents and directors that license revocation proceedings could be launched over single Gun Control Act violations, according to the lawsuit. License revocations have allegedly risen by 500%.
