Kansas Representative Tracey Mann is reintroducing the Reining in Federal Licensing Enforcement (RIFLE) Act, a bill designed to defend the Second Amendment and protect firearms businesses as a measure to counter the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) zero-tolerance policy established in 2021 under the Biden administration. The policy is said to target willful violations by those holding a federal firearms license (FFL). However, the ATF has revoked over 250 FFLs since its inception, 20 in Kansas alone, drawing skepticism to the policy’s true intent.
Mann regards the rigid policy and its ultra-aggressive implementation as a continued attack on the Second Amendment and the firearms industry through the weaponization of the ATF under the former administration.
