The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) is proposing a change to how people apply for certain firearms licenses. Currently, applicants must provide specific 2” x 2” passport-style photographs and one or two fingerprint cards depending on the type of application they are filing.
Why it matters: This is primarily an administrative change intended to simplify the paperwork and identification process for firearm license applicants.
