President Joe Biden is unveiling a formal rule to rein in ghost guns, which are privately made firearms without serial numbers.
, privately made firearms without serial numbers that are increasingly cropping up at crime scenes.
Both Republican and Democratic administrations have failed to get nominees for the ATF position through the politically fraught process since the director’s position was made confirmable in 2006. Since then, only one nominee, former U.S. Attorney B. Todd Jones, has been confirmed. Jones made it through the Senate in 2013 but only after a six-month struggle. Jones was acting director when President Barack Obama nominated him in January 2013.
Christian Heyne, the vice president of policy at Brady, another gun control group, said Dettlebach was "an unimpeachable public servant who has spent a career using the levers of government to hold negligent or nefarious actors accountable." Federally licensed firearms dealers must retain key records until they shut down their business or licensed activity and then transfer the records to ATF as they are currently required to do at the end of licensed activity. Previously, these dealers were permitted to destroy most records after 20 years, making it harder for law enforcement to trace firearms found at crime scenes.
