Story summary
  • The Brady Campaign sued in D.C. federal court to compel the ATF and Justice Department to release Demand Letter 2 records.
  • The ATF denied the FOIA request, citing privacy, trade-secret, and commercial-harm concerns.
  • After gun-rights groups objected, the agency paused the program, which the National Shooting Sports Foundation called ‘name-and-shame’.
  • ATF officials said the letters traced over 190,000 firearms (2000-2021) and reforms will cut red tape for gun makers and sellers.
