Ernst, Grassley Counter Biden Admin's Attack on Second Amendment Rights

Press Release

Date: Sept. 12, 2023
Location: Washington, D.C.
Issues: Guns

"Our questions and concerns are particularly acute given your agency's recent gross misinterpretation of who is required to get FFLs in order to sell guns. In no way did Congress mean to require anyone who even offers to sell a gun to need a FFL.

As we said last year, the first goal of working with FFL holders should be to help them comply with the law--not to eradicate small businesses for mere administrative errors. At a time when crime appears to be increasing, your agency's action "risks alienating some of the government's most valuable sources in combating gun violence.' This is a questionable decision, at best. As was the case last year, FFL holders remain a crucial partner in stopping dangerous criminals from accessing firearms, and they should be treated as such."
