Amazing! I can't believe after all this time someone finally passed this common sense legislation.
The legislation that directed these rules to be written was actually passed by Congress a few years ago.
It takes quite some time for new federal regulations to be written and enacted, with lengthy public comment periods.
That's a bit disingenuous. The actual legislation doesn't mention this issue at all, and one of the co-authors has even come out and said that the ATF's reliance on that law is perversion of the intent of the legislation.
Anything involving a constitutional right should have significantly more say by elected officials and significantly less say by agency bureaucrats.
