Arizona – -(Ammoland.com)-A “white paper“, written by the second highest ranking official of the ATF, has been obtained by the Washington Post. The date, official, and reforms mentioned, are all significant. The paper was dated January 20th, 2017, inauguration day.
Ronald B. Turk is the author. The paper expresses “the ideas and opinions” of Mr. Turk. From the washingtonpost.com:
The second-highest-ranking official at the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives has written a proposal to reduce gun regulations, including examining a possible end to the ban on importing assault weapons into the United States.
The “white paper” by Ronald B. Turk, associate deputy director and chief operating officer of the ATF, calls for removing restrictions on the sale of gun silencers; allowing gun dealers to have more guns used in crimes traced to their stores before the federal government requires additional information from the dealer; and initiating a study on lifting the ban on imported assault weapons.
A number of common sense reforms are discussed in the paper. People in the gun culture will recognize many of them as obvious reforms that would have happened long ago, if there were a sympathetic ear in the White House.
Here are short descriptions of the reforms. The long versions are available in the paper itself.
1. FFL license issued for sales at gun shows only, no sales required at physical address. (This removes much of local “veto power” of FFl license issue)
2. Rational review of “armor piercing” ammo for rifles.
3. Re-importation of Certain DOD Surplus Firearms from Foreign Countries. (Garands and MI Carbines, anyone?)
4. Variances on “transfers” of Machine guns for people in DOD industry and Theater industry.

Perhaps we’ll see some more old Carbines and Garands coming back from overseas.
Abolish the ATF and the NFA.
I guess he wants to keep his job.
Bkmrk.
I think he wants the Director’s spot.
.
Korea has thousands of them they’d love to market.
.
I bet he isn’t too popular at the BATFE these days.
That entire bureaucracy should be disarmed and disbanded.
Or sent back to the Treasury department to resume their original mission of chasing down tax evaders.
They can help round up marijuana tax evaders in Colorado.
Even better for him.
Trump wouldn't like that, since it might create more competition and cost some American manufacturing jobs.
...
Korea has thousands of them they’d love to market...
No import marks, please....
I have an M-1 Garand I inherited from my dad. I've got all the parts recorded and would like to know the best source to sell it without being ripped off........
Any ideas?
Hope so...Need at least 8 more Garands for my grandchildren and great grandchildren...
Bingo! He wants a twofer. Save the ATF and become the head honcho in the bargain.
He could up the ante and offer to come clean on Fast and Furious.
Tell us all who directed the ATF to pull that stunt.
Doesn’t every new government regulation require the resrescinding of two existing regulations?
Swamp draining.
Heck, how about canning the Hughes Amendment to the FOPA and re-opening the machine gun registry?
Has there ever been an analysis done (even at the state level) on how much it costs to have things like waiting periods for firearms acquisitions in states like California, Hawaii, and others and their impacts on the criminal and tragic misuse of firearms? The same could be could be asked of Illinois and it’s Firearm Owners Identification certificates or licencing in Massachusetts.
Gunbroker seems to be the safest of the online firearm marketplaces.
Have you tried the Civilian Marksmanship Program, www.odcmp.com? Best deal you’ll get on a good working Garand.
