Steven Dettelbach, the director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) under President Joe Biden, has resigned. His resignation is effective January 18, 2025, two days before Donald Trump's inauguration. The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms (CCRKBA) welcomed this news, calling for Trump to appoint a non-political ATF director.
President Joe Biden ’s ATF director, Steven Dettelbach, tendered his resignation on December 20, 2024 with an effective date of January 18, 2025 — two days before Donald Trump is inaugurated. The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms (CCRKBA) also cheered Dettelbach’s pending departure, with its chairman Alan Gottlieb saying, “That’s one less person Trump will have to fire after he takes office, and it is one less gun prohibition lobbyist on the government payroll.
” CCRKBA urged President-elect Trump to appoint an ATF director who will “run the agency, not politicize it.” Dettelbach has overseen an ATF that many have viewed as weaponized under the Biden administration. The agency has gone around Congress to unilaterally enact gun controls that include universal-style background checks and new regulations on partially completed firearms
