ATF goes to National Gun Show to boost its image, bust ‘myths’ about the agency

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives ramped up a public relations campaign recently at a massive gun show in Northern Virginia, warning gun sellers and buyers not to believe “myths” about the agency.

The ATF routinely sets up tables at gun shows across the country to interact with America’s firearms community and hit the Nation’s Gun Show at the Dulles Expo Center in Chantilly, Virginia, armed with Obama-era handouts titled “ATF Myths – Not everything you hear is true.”

The flyer is a list of accusations and notions about the ATF that the agency wants to set straight about itself to the public.
