Guns

Independent, UK -  The Justice Department is considering weakening federal gun regulations in order to curry favor with Second Amendment activists, according to reports. Unnamed insiders told The Washington Post that the Trump administration is mulling whether to loosen limits on private firearm sales, imports, and shipping by mail. The changes are reportedly still being debated, with officials weighing the need to please the gun rights lobby while maintaining the power of the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF).
