The Trump Administration Made a Big Show of Repealing a Biden-Era Gun Rule. It Never Amounted to Much Anyway.

The Trump administration, led by newly confirmed ATF Director Robert Cekada, repealed a Biden-era rule targeting the 'gun show loophole' by removing requirements for certain private sellers to obtain licenses and conduct background checks. Experts and a review by The Trace indicate the repealed rule had minimal impact on enforcement and did not lead to significant federal prosecutions.
