Trump administration proposes broad rollback of gun regulations

The Trump administration is proposing significant changes to firearm regulations, aiming to reduce burdens on gun owners and businesses. These proposed rules would allow handguns to be shipped via mail, ease restrictions on gun dealers, and potentially weaken background check requirements. Gun violence prevention advocates argue these changes favor the gun industry over public safety, while the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) states the reforms modernize regulations without compromising law enforcement.
