The Senate Judiciary Committee, chaired by Sen. Pat Leahy (D-VT), will be holding a hearing next Thursday September 14, on the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) Reform and Firearms Modernization Act ( S. 941 ). This legislation strikes a fair balance between providing ATF with additional regulatory options – options other than license revocation — that encourage even greater compliance by federally licensed firearms retailers, while at the same time affording the licensees more rights and providing due process in the regulatory scheme.
