The most recent press release, "ATF Signs 30x30 Pledge to Advance Women in Law Enforcement," was submitted on March 31.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives published 166 press releases the month before, marking an 11 percent decrease for the current month.
The Agency investigates and prevents crimes involving the unlawful use, manufacture and possession of firearms and explosives, arson and bombings and illegal trafficking or manufacture of alcohol and tobacco products.
Gun regulations and enforcement in the US has been criticized for being lax and uncoordinated, allowing for many unregulated guns to circulate.
