Federal ATF Gun Crimes Defense Lawyer Wisconsin Gun and Firearm Conceal Carry Law

Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) Enforces Federal Gun Laws

The ATF is a Federal Bureau in the Department of Justice formed in 1978 to protect the public against a wide array of illegal activities by enforcing laws prohibiting the use of weapons such as firearms and explosives, and illegal trafficking of tobacco and alcohol.

The ATF’s range of responsibilities cast a broad brush across many different kinds of illegal activities, including:

• The use of bombs and explosives
• Arson
• Safety threats posed by gangs and other organized crime
• Contraband alcohol and tobacco trading (with the aim of reducing lost tax revenue)
• Criminal possession and use of firearms

The D.C. vs. Heller ruling in 2008 by the United States Supreme Court upheld an individual’s right to keep and bear arms, defending the Second Amendment of the Constitution. Too often, prosecuting attorneys will pad on weapons charges to inflate felony offenses. They ignore your rights, and you suffer a longer sentence as a consequence.

Milwaukee gun lawyer Tom Grieve has been in the court of defendants subject to such unfair legal treatment. He has stood up against ATF review boards and defended individuals’ right to bear arms. You can trust him to defend your rights when they are under attack on the local or state level.

Tom Grieve is an experienced gun attorney who has appeared as a keynote conference speaker and webinar subject matter consultant for the United States Concealed Carry Association (USCCA).

Wisconsin Lawmakers Propose New Ban on Semi-Automatic Weapons

Lawmakers in the Wisconsin State Assembly have co-sponsored a proposed bill to change the definition of a “semi-automatic assault weapon” to include rifles, shotguns and pistols with any of a large list of specific criteria. The new proposed gun control bill, containing no grandfathering provision, would result in full-fledged Wisconsin gun confiscation of eligible weapons.

With experience fighting the ATF, a powerful federal agency, you can trust Milwaukee criminal defense lawyer Tom Grieve to fight for you tooth and nail to defend your right to keep and bear arms should a Wisconsin assault weapons ban be passed.
