The professional goons at ATFE appear to be at it again….
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) is moving to require federally licensed firearms retailers to report multiple sales of modern sporting rifles beginning January 5, 2011. Specifically, the ATF requirement calls for firearms retailers to report multiple sales, or other dispositions, of two or more .22 caliber or larger semi-automatic rifles that are capable of accepting a detachable magazine and are purchased by the same individual within five consecutive business days.
Most folks are unaware of it, but if you buy more than one pistol from a dealer within the span of five business days, the dealer is supposed to send in a special form with all your data about the sale to the thugs at ATFE. It appears that those same thugs are now looking at making a similar mandate about long guns, or at least a particular class of long guns. But, really, you think theyre only gonna limit it to AR’s?
The Carter II Obama administration has been avoiding the whole ‘gun thing’ pretty intently for the last couple years. It looks like that may be coming to an end.
