A recent ring doorbell video recording from a Delaware resident prompted a Republican lawmaker to question why agents from the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms asked a legal firearm owner for his weapons’ serial numbers without a warrant.
The video, first posted and reported by Armed American News shows ATF agents and state troopers on July 12 demanding a homeowner turn over the serial numbers of firearms he recently purchased.
“I’m extremely concerned by the reports of a surprise and unwarranted firearms inspection conducted by the ATF. This incident comes days after Steve Dettelbach was sworn in to head the ATF, and it is exactly the kind of action I was concerned about under his leadership.
