(Breitbart)—A report from the New York Times indicated President Donald Trump’s Department of Justice is limiting the ATF’s ability to harass Federal Firearm License holders (FFLs) by cutting the number of ATF inspectors by two-thirds.
According to the NYT, “The department plans to eliminate 541 of the estimated 800 investigators.”
ATF inspectors are the ones who visited FFLs under the Biden Administration’s zero tolerance policy and shut down numerous gun stores over clerical errors.
On April 7, 2025, Breitbart News pointed to a report by Gun Owners of America which noted that Gun Owners of America that, under Trump, the DOJ and ATF repealed the zero tolerance policy that was weaponized under Biden. Moreover, on May 27, 2025, Breitbart News noted that automatic FFL revocations by the ATF were gone as well.
Such revocations were a trait of Biden’s ATF, as inspectors immediately revoked FFLs due to simple mistakes on gun forms.

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
