SAF is very encouraged by ATF Director nominee Robert Cekada saying that ATF’s mission is not to burden lawful gun owners, and it must respect the Second Amendment in its enforcement of federal gun laws. We are hopeful that he will lead ATF in a much better direction than we have seen in recent years, but will be ready to act if he does not.
