  Rep. Lauren Boebert announced that she and a fellow Republican in the House of Representatives have introduced legislation to abolish the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

Colorado Congresswoman Lauren Boebert has introduced a bill aimed at abolishing the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), arguing that the agency has overstepped its constitutional bounds and infringed on Second Amendment rights. The legislation, titled the "Abolish the ATF Act," seeks to dismantle the ATF and redistribute its responsibilities to other federal agencies. Boebert's proposal comes amidst ongoing debates about gun control and the role of federal agencies in regulating firearms. She contends that the ATF has been weaponized against law-abiding gun owners through what she describes as arbitrary rule changes and enforcement actions. The bill has sparked a significant reaction, with supporters praising it as a defense of constitutional rights, while critics argue it would lead to regulatory chaos and potentially increase gun violence.
