” Take careful note, too, what they say concerns them: “BATFE also expressed concern that since the law was adopted, various new rifle-caliber handguns have been invented.”
I wonder how many Department of Justice employees are equally concerned when SWAT teams raids the homes of unsuspecting and incorrect targets, such as Mr. Eurie Stamps, or Ms. Zaelit, or Mr. Tuppeny, or Ms.Lloyd, or Thomas and Rosalie Avina, or Mr. Kenneth Wright? Statists will be statists. Can a leopard change its spots?
Finally, this issue of the sporting purposes test is laughable. The ATF didn’t listen when I pointed this out before, and they aren’t likely to start now. It isn’t that the test is difficult, or convoluted, or hard to apply, but necessary nonetheless because it’s the law. The issue is that it is self referentially incoherent. It cannot be logically applied because it presupposes the consequent.
The ATF must decide what is the “sporting purposes” category by populating the list with examples, and then make the claim that such-and-such an example is deemed to be or not to be a “sporting purpose” because it is or isn’t on the list. It reasons in a circle.
Not that the ATF will care. And not that they will care what we have to say about ammunition either. “

So the ATF is going to rule that non-lead bullets aren’t legal, while the EPA rules that lead bullets aren’t legal either.
Well, the President did say gun control was going to be under the radar; may be the first campaign promise he’s kept.”
