Reps. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) and Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) of the House Judiciary Committee have requested that the director and employees of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) testify regarding the agency’s firearms policies.

In a March 6 letter to ATF Director Steven Dettelbach, the congressmen invited Dettelbach to testify at a 10 a.m. hearing on April 26, noting that they had “additional questions” regarding his agency’s efforts to “regulate firearms through the rulemaking process.”
