在一名枪手持合法购买的枪支冲击白宫记者晚宴安保人员、调查人员称其企图行刺总统唐纳德·特朗普数日后,他领导下的美国司法部正寻求进一步放宽枪支管制措施。
“我们正在废除那些超出法律允许范围的规则,”代理司法部长托德·布兰奇周三在新闻发布会上表示,“我们正在削减不必要的繁文缛节,用清晰直白的语言取代混乱,这样普通美国人不必拥有法律学位就能理解自己的权利。”
布兰奇称,本届政府将提出34项新规则——这是酒精、烟草、火器与爆炸物管理局(ATF)“近15年来累计发布的”最大规模规则修订,他补充道:“我们今天所做的一切都不会削弱执法力度。”
据布兰奇和 newly confirmed ATF Director Robert Cekada,新规则将帮助枪支卖家更轻松地遵守法律,包括采用更严格的合格持证卖家定义。
塞卡达还表示,ATF将正式废除2023年出台的手枪支架限制规则。该规则已被联邦法院推翻。
布兰奇发言时,枪支行业领袖站在他身后。
本届政府长期以来一直在寻找修订现行枪支管制法律的途径。
特朗普连任数周后,签署了一项行政命令,要求司法部审查拜登政府此前出台的所有与枪支相关的法规或“行动”,并“消除对美国人第二修正案权利的一切侵犯”。
在这项行政命令中,特朗普声称拜登政府针对以售卖枪支为业的人群,也就是联邦 firearms licensees,他称这“导致针对这些卖家的执法行动增加了近六倍”。
乔·拜登总统对联邦 firearms licensees 采取的“零容忍”政策,旨在吊销那些未进行背景调查、向非法买家售枪以及存在其他违法违规行为的卖家的执照。
“枪支制造商仅仅因为生产枪支——这让美国人能够行使一项宪法权利——就被取消银行服务资格或被拒绝提供其他服务,”特朗普去年2月签署的行政命令中写道。
周六,特朗普本人成为枪手的袭击目标,调查人员称。
科尔·托马斯·艾伦携带枪支冲入华盛顿特区白宫记者晚宴的安保区域后被捕。据称,袭击发生前后,他曾给家人发送过表达反特朗普情绪的信件。
“我要重申,在特朗普政府治下,第二修正案永远不会被视为二等权利,”布兰奇说。

Days after a gunman charged security at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in what investigators say was an attempt to kill President Donald Trump with legally owned firearms, his Justice Department is seeking to further roll back gun control measures.
“We’re repealing rules that went beyond what the law allows,” Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said Wednesday at a press conference. “We are cutting unnecessary red tape, and we are replacing confusion with clear, straightforward language so that everyday Americans don’t need a law degree just to understand their rights.”
The administration is proposing 34 new rules — mark the largest amount the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives has issued “in the last 15 years combined,” Blanche said, adding that “nothing we are doing today weakens law enforcement.”
According to Blanche and the newly confirmed ATF Director Robert Cekada, the new rules will help gun sellers more easily abide by the law, including by adopting a more narrow definition of who must be a licensed seller.
Cekada also said the ATF would formally rescind a 2023 rule that restricted pistol braces. That rule was struck down in federal court.
Gun industry leaders stood behind Blanche as he spoke.
The administration has long been looking for ways to review current gun control laws.
Weeks after entering his second term, Trump signed an executive order requiring the Justice Department to review any regulations or “actions by the Biden Administration regarding firearms” and “to eliminate all infringements on Americans’ Second Amendment rights.”
In the executive order, Trump alleged the Biden administration went after people who sell firearms as part of their livelihood, known as federal firearms licensees, which Trump said “led to a nearly six-fold increase in enforcement actions against” those sellers.
President Joe Biden’s “zero-tolerance” policy for FFLs was meant to revoke licenses from sellers who failed to conduct background checks, sold firearms to an unlawful buyer, and other violations of the law.
“Firearms manufacturers have been de-banked or denied services simply because they make guns — which allow Americans to exercise a constitutional right,” Trump’s executive order from February last year said.
On Saturday, Trump himself was a target of a gunman, investigators say.
Cole Tomas Allen was arrested after rushing through security at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in Washington, DC, armed with guns. He allegedly sent a note to his family sharing anti-Trump sentiment around the time of the attack.
“Let me reiterate that the Second Amendment will never be treated as a second-class right in the Trump administration,” Blanche said.
This is a developing story and will be updated.
