Abolish the ATF Act

House Votes

This bill would shut down the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). It states, simply, that the ATF “is hereby abolished.” If it became law, the agency would no longer exist.

Key points:

• Who is affected: The ATF as a federal agency, and people and businesses that interact with it.
• What changes: The ATF would be abolished.
• When: The bill only states abolition; it does not include timing or transition details.
