A senior official at the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, or ATF, recommended reducing some gun regulations in an internal memo made public on Monday.
Ronald Turk, the ATF's associate deputy director and chief operating officer, argued in the memo that reworking the way the agency enforces or interprets certain gun laws would be beneficial for the firearms industry and the ATF. The memo addressed a number of issues that have been the subject of heated debate in the gun world. It argued that regulations should be reduced or eliminated on firearms silencers, interstate gun sales, the importation of certain firearms from overseas, and individuals who sell guns exclusively online or at gun shows.
