Steven Dettelbach, the ATF director under President Biden, resigned, with his departure coinciding with Donald Trump's upcoming inauguration. Gun rights groups welcomed the news, calling for a new ATF director less politically involved.
President Joe Biden ’s ATF director, Steven Dettelbach, resigned on December 20, 2024, effective January 18, 2025 — two days before Donald Trump ’s inauguration. The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms (CCRKBA) celebrated Dettelbach’s departure, with chairman Alan Gottlieb stating that it meant one less person Trump would have to fire and 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 viewed by many as weaponized under the Biden administration. The agency has implemented gun controls unilaterally, including universal-style background checks and new regulations on partially completed firearms, bypassing congressional approval.
