 “As ATF director, if I am confirmed, I would simply enforce the laws on the books. Right now there is no such ban on those guns.”
Biden’s ATF nominee during this hearing couldn’t define “assault weapon,” said he wants to ban the AR-15, extend the NFA to all assault weapons, and said he would go by the ATF definition of “assault rifle” as any semi-auto capable of accepting a detachable mag above .22.
