    ATF Director Struggles to Clarify New Firearm Sale Regulations During Congressional Hearing

    During a recent House Judiciary Committee hearing titled “Oversight of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives,” ATF Director Steve Dettelbach faced intense questioning from Republican Representative Chip Roy of Texas about a background check rule enacted by the current administration. Despite the pressing questions, Dettelbach struggled to provide clear answers regarding the specifics of the rule which had been announced by the Attorney General on April 10.

    Chip Roy: “Do you, as the director [of ATF], believe that the federal government should track ownership of firearms among the American people?”

    The rule in question revolves around the requirements for obtaining a Federal Firearms License (FFL). Rep. Roy posed a direct question to Dettelbach about whether a private individual, such as himself, would need an FFL to sell a gun to a friend within Texas. “If I want to sell a gun that I currently own to a friend in Texas, do I need a license?” Roy asked.

    Dettelbach initially responded vaguely, citing the ongoing litigation surrounding the rule. “So, the getting into the specifics of the role, which is in litigation…” he began before being interrupted by Roy, who insisted on a straightforward answer. Dettelbach then clarified, “You look at the totality of the circumstances. If we’re talking about an isolated sale from somebody who is not engaged in the business of dealing firearms, you don’t need a license.”

    The discussion highlighted the legal distinction under 18 USC 922(a), which stipulates that only individuals engaged in the business of selling firearms as a business are required to have an FFL. This led Roy to further query whether a regular citizen, selling a weapon on an isolated basis, would need to apply for a license. Dettelbach reiterated that if the individual is not engaged in the business of selling firearms, they would not need an FFL.

    However, as the conversation continued, Roy presented another hypothetical scenario where a person occasionally sells firearms. Dettelbach referenced the language of Congress and the rule itself, noting that inheritance of firearms, for example, does not indicate engagement in the business of selling firearms.

    Despite these clarifications, Roy expressed frustration over the complexity of the rule and the potential confusion it could cause among the public. He pointed out the difficulty in understanding the legal requirements when even the director of the ATF struggled to provide definitive answers without resorting to hypotheticals.

    “Is it not troubling that an average citizen, confronted with four hundred pages of rulemaking, might not understand what they are allowed to do under the law when the director of the ATF can’t tell a member of Congress emphatically whether selling one, two, three, or even five weapons requires a license?” Roy challenged.

    The exchange underscored ongoing debates and confusion surrounding firearms regulations, emphasizing the complexities of legal interpretations and the challenges of clear communication from regulatory bodies to the public.

    Remember this gem a few years ago?
