The BATFE has made rule changes prior to going after certain entities in the past. I suspect that this is an example of such a rule change. There will be an ATF raid conducted within the next few weeks using this “reinterpretation” as the basis for the raid.
Basically, someone has tinkled in the BATFE’s cheerios and they want to get payback.
Following that upcoming raid,
the “raiders” need to face some local law enforcement that halls them off to the slammer.
