"FFLs that willfully violate the law, however, must be held accountable. ATF conducts inspections to ensure compliance with applicable local, state, and federal laws and regulations and to educate licensees on the specific requirements of those laws and regulations," the spokesperson added. The letter also calls on the ATF to"provide the statistics of FFL holders that are closing/going out of business compared to new FFL holders for FY2022 and FY2023" and"describe what the ATF considers a ‘willful violation’ compared to a clerical mistake or error when inspecting a FFL."
