On Monday, July 11, 2023, attorneys from Gun Owners of America in conjunction with John Harris, Tennessee Firearms Association’s executive director, filed a federal lawsuit against the ATF asking a court the issue an injunction on the ATF’s authority to revoke federal firearms licenses under the Biden Administration’s “Enhanced Enforcement Policy” which is resulted in a massive increase in ATF license revocations in just a few years.

The unfortunate part is that while Congress has had years to step in to curtail the ATF’s abuses and, in fact, while the House Republicans could impose budget restrictions now on ATF from destroying the Second Amendment Supply Chain, Congress has failed repeatedly to defend the rights protected by the Second Amendment against rogue administrative agencies. That abdication of the sworn oaths of office to defend the Constitution is forcing citizens and federally licensed dealers to fight back.
If you want to help fight back, join TFA and consider making voluntary member donations to help fund this kind of litigation. If you are already a member, consider making voluntary member donations. This is not a problem “somewhere else” – it is happening in Tennessee too!
