Internal ATF docs show ‘zero tolerance’ guidelines for shutting down gun stores
Fox News
Fox News Digital exclusively obtained internal documents from the ATF detailing its "zero tolerance" policy being used to revoke gun stores' federal firearms licenses.
The guidance says the agency "has zero tolerance for willful violations that greatly affect public safety and ATF’s ability to trace firearms recovered in violent crimes" and that "revocation" of the FFL’s license "is the assumed action" with violations.

"Therefore, revocation is the assumed action, unless extraordinary circumstances exist, when violations are cited that include" transferring a firearm "to a prohibited person knowing or having reasonable cause to believe the transferee is a prohibited person," failing to perform a background check, and "making a false or fictitious written statement in the FFL’s required records or in applying for a firearms license," the guidance reads.
