Justice Department Considers Changes to Gun Regulations

The Justice Department is weighing modifications to several gun regulations, a move prompted by advocacy from Second Amendment supporters. The potential changes come after Blanche Cekada's confirmation as the Director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF).

The specific regulations under review were not disclosed. The process and timeline for any potential changes also remain unclear.

Cekada's confirmation followed a period of debate in the Senate. Her stated positions on gun control, including support for some restrictions, drew scrutiny during the confirmation process. She previously served as counsel to a firearms trade association.
