Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-GA) has vocally opposed an ATF program designed to limit gun dealers from selling firearms traced to criminal activity, the New York Times reports.
“What Mr. Clyde did not disclose was that one of two gun stores he owns in Georgia, Clyde Armory in Athens, was placed in the monitoring program in 2020 and 2021… ATF inspectors made the designation after they found that more than 25 guns sold there had been used in crimes within three years of their purchase.”
