According to some claims, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and explosives had had an update, causing it to become easier to get by background checks. Making it easier to smuggle and trade guns illegally.
However, according to AP, no laws have changed. “ Federal law prohibits people in the country illegally from purchasing or possessing firearms, with “limited exceptions,” an ATF spokesperson told The Associated Press.” It mentions how the ATF does not have the power to change the federal law. They are only allowed to implement it.
