  • Enacted
This legislative proposal, known as the "Abolish the ATF Act" , seeks to completely eliminate the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. The bill's primary and only substantive provision explicitly states that the agency "is hereby abolished," without detailing any transfer of its functions or responsibilities. If enacted, this measure would dismantle the federal bureau responsible for enforcing laws related to firearms, explosives, alcohol, and tobacco, effectively ending its regulatory and enforcement functions at the federal level.
