A.T.F. Braces for a Likely Rollback of Its Gun-Control Efforts
President-elect Donald J. Trump is almost certain to choose a gun-rights advocate as director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives or to simply leave the job vacant.
The A.T.F., under its Biden-appointed director, Steven M. Dettelbach, has been more proactive on gun control than at any time in its recent history. It has pushed through rules to curb the proliferation of the untraceable homemade firearms known as ghost guns, clamped down on devices that make firearms deadlier and regulated unlicensed firearms sellers who operate at gun shows or online.
That earned praise from gun control groups and drew the enmity of Republicans, including President-elect Donald J. Trump.
Anyone who has paid attention to Trump through the years can see that he not only has no moral compass, no integrity, but that his blatant pursuit of his self interest has taken him to where he his now. If he has any special talent it is seeing clearly who he can most easily manipulate. And in the erstwhile Republican Party he found the perfect group to serve his corrupt ambitions.
