Category: Second Amendment

WASHINGTON, D.C. U.S. Senators Thom Tillis (R-NC), Josh Hawley (R-MO), Tom Cotton (R-AR), and Ted Cruz (R-TX) recently sent a letter to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms(ATF)and Explosives raising alarm overtwo of their newly-proposedgunrulesthat could threatenAmericans Second Amendment rights.

The rules, 2021R-05 and 2021R-08, would require the retention of firearms transaction records forever, paving the way to a national gun registry, and clamp down on pistol braces and other devices possessed by thousands of law-abiding gun owners.

These measures are concerning enough on their face.
