WASHINGTON — In the wake of the mass shooting last month at a high school in Parkland, Florida, President Donald Trump vowed to use his executive authority
to enact gun control through the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms
and Explosives. But over the past year, the ATF has been moving in the
opposite direction, delaying new gun-safety rules developed under the
Obama administration.
As part of Trump's government-wide push for
deregulation, the ATF has stalled a number of gun regulations that had
been moving forward under Obama, including a new requirement
to make secure gun storage or safety devices more widely available.
Last year, the administration formally reclassified the proposed gun
storage rule and other regulatory changes as "long-term actions," indicating the ATF was not expecting to act on them within the next year.
