The Department of Justice is holding a signing ceremony today in which Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche “will preside over the signing” of a “landmark rulemaking package” from the ATF.
Breitbart News spoke with the DOJ and they made clear the package includes “repealing several regs from the Biden administration” and making “revisions to Form 4473.”
In other correspondence, it was clear that the “landmark rulemaking package…[represents] the culmination of DOJ’s and ATF’s comprehensive regulatory review conducted pursuant to the direction in Executive Order 14206 (‘Protecting Second Amendment Rights’).”
Breitbart News reported that President Donald Trump signed the “Protecting Second Amendment Rights” E.O. on February 7, 2025, and we noted that the E.O. made clear that President Trump wanted an assessment of any infringements that occurred due to presidential action under former President Joe Biden and due to DOJ and/or ATF actions.
The ceremony is at 3:00 p.m. Eastern and Breitbart News will cover it as it happens.
