Report: Trump DOJ Cutting Number of ATF Inspectors by Two-ThirdsAWR Hawkins 19 Jun 2025
A report from the New York Times indicated President Donald Trump’s Department of Justice is limiting the ATF’s ability to harass Federal Firearm License holders (FFLs) by cutting the number of ATF inspectors by two-thirds.
According to the NYT, “The department plans to eliminate 541 of the estimated 800 investigators.”
ATF inspectors are the ones who visited FFLs under the Biden Administration’s zero tolerance policy and shut down numerous gun stores over clerical errors.
On April 7, 2025, Breitbart News pointed to a report by Gun Owners of America which noted that Gun Owners of America that, under Trump, the DOJ and ATF repealed the zero tolerance policy that was weaponized under Biden. Moreover, on May 27, 2025, Breitbart News noted that automatic FFL revocations by the ATF were gone as well.
