Press Release from Congresswomen Lauren Boebert – January 8, 2025 Washington, D.C. — This week, U.S. Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (CO-04) and Congressman Eric Burlison (MO-07) introduced legislation to abolish the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). “I cannot imagine under any circumstance or administration where the ATF serves as an ally to the Second Amendment and law-abiding firearm owners across America. As co-chair of the Congressional Second Amendment Caucus, I’m eager to continue this effort with Rep. Burlison to defend our constitutional rights. The ATF should be abolished before they eventually abolish our Second Amendment,” said Congresswoman Boebert. “The ATF is emblematic of the deep-state bureaucracy that believes it can infringe on constitutional liberties without consequence,” said Rep. Burlison. “If this agency cannot uphold its duty to serve the people within the framework of the Constitution, it has no place in our government.” The “Abolish the ATF Act of 2025” is co-sponsored by Reps. Andy Biggs (AZ-05), Mike Collins (GA-10), Bob Onder (MO-03), Andy Ogles (TN-05), Mary Miller (IL-15), Keith Self (TX-03), and Paul Gosar (AZ-09). As a leader in the fight to Abolish the ATF, Rep. Boebert has sponsored and co-sponsored previous iterations of this legislation. Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (R-CO) and Congressman Eric Bulinson (R-MO)
