What does BATF mean in FDA

The mission of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) is to protect the public from criminal activity involving firearms and explosives, arson and tobacco diversion. ATF also works to reduce crime through its strategic enforcement efforts across all three areas.

ATF works to ensure that individuals who are prohibited from possessing firearms under federal law are not able to purchase or possess a firearm illegally. This includes conducting background checks before any firearms transactions take place at federally licensed gun dealers and enforcing existing laws related to straw purchases and other illegal transfers. ATF also works with state, local, tribal, and federal law enforcement partners to investigate violations related to firearm possession.

ATF provides both national and local services for victims of gun violence including providing trauma-focused counseling referrals for victims or families affected by a shooting incident, victim advocacy training as well as access to legal services if needed. In addition, ATF has developed new initiatives aimed at increasing awareness about personal safety strategies such as Lock It Down programs targeting youth in underserved communities.
