Atf P 33172 Safety And Security Information For Federal Firearms Licensees PDF Download

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), a component of the United States Department of Justice; is a law enforcement agency charged with protecting our communities from violent criminals; criminal organizations; the illegal possession, use and trafficking of firearms; the illegal possession, use and storage of explosives; acts of arson and bombings; and the illegal diversion of alcohol and tobacco products. Federal firearms licensees play a key role in safeguarding the public from violent crime by maintaining accurate records, instituting internal controls, and performing background checks on potential firearms purchasers. These practices have saved lives, prohibited violent criminals from obtaining firearms, and prevented firearms-related crimes. The 2014 edition of the Federal Firearms Regulations Reference Guide contains information that will help you comply with Federal laws and regulations governing the manufacture, importation and distribution of firearms and ammunition.
