ATF Redefines 40-Year-Old Law on Gun Transfers

imported post

Reversing an interpretation of the Gun Control Act that has been on the books for more than four decades, ATF today posted a ruling declaring any shipment of a firearm by a manufacturer (FFL) to any agent or business (e.g., an engineering-design firm, patent lawyer, testing lab, gun writer, etc.) for a bona fide business purpose to be a "transfer" under the Gun Control Act of 1968. As a consequence, legitimate business-related shipments will now require the recipient to complete a Form 4473 and undergo a Brady criminal background check. In many instances, these requirements will force shipments to a third party, thereby lengthening the process and the time that the firearm is in transit.

NEVER HAPPEN, Just like Tobacco will NEVER be outlawed....they make TOO much money from the Taxes that is collected from those items....... Remember out .Gov is GREEEEEEEEEEDY. they won't outlaw them , but they will keep on raising taxes on them, until only the very wealthy can afford them. When everyone does quit smoking, the lost tax revenue will be made up on raising other taxes. Taxes, taxes, taxes, more taxes & future taxes....someday soon, your pay check will go directly to the .gov


our founding fathers, gave the Brits the finger for alot less...when will we ?!
