The Department of Justice (DOJ) said on Monday that it will repeal a “zero tolerance” policy that Second Amendment advocates said allowed authorities to revoke the licenses of gun dealers over paperwork errors.
Critics of the policy, known as the Enhanced Regulatory Enforcement Policy, said it allowed the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) to revoke gun dealers’ licenses for clerical errors that, prior to the policy, would have been considered minor infractions but under the zero tolerance policy were considered “willful” violations of the Gun Control Act (GCA) of 1968.
