'How Many Biden-Era ATF Rules?': Josh Hawley Asks Gun Advocate About Outstanding Biden ATF Rules

Published | Video Starts at 00:11

Mr. Pratt, if I could just start with you. I want to ask you about something that I think deserves some answers. In fact, I've waited years for a substantive response on this. Back in 2021, I sent a letter to then President Biden's ATF asking about Rule 2021 RO5, which is the rule that requires gun dealers to keep records on buyers permanently. They never gave me an answer. Thankfully, we now have a new administration. But it's often the case that old rules live on in a sort of zombie like lifestyle through bureaucratic inertia. (00:11–00:24)
