Thank you for your interest in ATF's proposed framework for determining whether certain projectiles are “primarily intended for sporting purposes” within the meaning of 18 U.S.C. 921(a)(17)(C). The informal comment period will close on Monday, March 16, 2015. ATF has already received more than 80,000 comments, which will be made publicly available as soon as practicable.
Although ATF endeavored to create a proposal that reflected a good faith interpretation of the law and balanced the interests of law enforcement, industry, and sportsmen, the vast majority of the comments received to date are critical of the framework, and include issues that deserve further study. Accordingly, ATF will not at this time seek to issue a final framework. After the close of the comment period, ATF will process the comments received, further evaluate the issues raised therein, and provide additional open and transparent process (for example, through additional proposals and opportunities for comment) before proceeding with any framework.
I don’t believe it.
They have some alternative they will springs on us, that will be equally distasteful but, they will marginalize our opinion...
In 2016 we do a hard SaniFlush.
Oh really???? How do you think we are going to do that?
“Elect” more Republicans”?????????????????
We see how fruitless that exercise in practicing insanity was.
Tea Party
If that SaniFlush includes the GOP Rino’s I’m all in.
Why is the purpose relevant?
If one uses the rifle for home protection and regularly trains to maintain proficiency, is that a “sporting purpose”?
If only “sporting purposes” are to be permitted, couldn’t the rifle be stores securely at the range, making things ever so much safer at home?
Apparently the BATFE got the message from the replies to dissolve the agency
Sounds like a great idea...you first.
It does.
““Elect” more Republicans”?????????????????”
NO! We Only Elect people of Principles, Then if or when they prove that they cannot stand to their spoken principles we then flush them also...
Too many make excuses for the criminals in government. Once there is proof that their fruits(Votes and Actions) are not what they said they would do they to must be flushed. So Party is not the lens one should use... I am so tired of these party first people (Oh yes the GOP is FULL of them) they should be looking for the Attributes/Principles like Duty and Responsibility with an ability to explain the meaning of the Constitution in all things they vote on or will vote on.
With all this said be aware there is NO election that will make a difference because the ROOT of the problem in in Us as a nation and until We recognize the error of our ways and humble ourselves before God, returning this to One Nation Under God, ALL else of mans actions will be for NOT!
Why play a million games of Whack a Mole..?
Defund the ATF, let them write parking tickets.
Nuke it from orbit, it’s the only way to be sure.
Are you being sarcastic or just trying to learn about Freedom, Conservatism, and Libertarianism???
Considering the Sight I will assume it was a sarcastic question in Jest...
“Although ATF endeavored to create a proposal that reflected a good faith interpretation of the law and balanced the interests of law enforcement, industry, and sportsmen, the vast majority of the comments received to date are critical of the framework,”
So since we are not ready to face CWII at this time we will not ban AR-15 green tips. :-)
Every response but one could be against their plans, and that one would prevail.
Doing an end run on the second amendment is still a violation of the second amendment.
What right is there to defend yourself, if your rifle is no more than a club to be used against someone who broke the law and has a weapon?
The ATF continues to be completely out of control.
If there were ever and agency that needed to be done away with this one ranks right up there with the EPA, the Department of Education, and many others.
There is no "good faith" in any part of FedGov, nor is there a balance between the interests of law enforcement and the interests of a free republic. The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed, and banning ammo is an infringement on our right to keep and bear arms. Pretending that the infringement serves a good purpose is (1) a lie told purely to deceive and not as an honest mistake, and (2) irrelevant even if it had been true.
Note: I have both friends and relatives in law enforcement and in the military, and I do not want them unnecessarily endangered. However, this ban on specific types of ammo would not in any way have improved their safety and would not have been constitutional even if it had improved their safety.
“Good, But this is not the end, they will try again....”
Like all good Communists, they are regrouping to make another assault when they think we aren’t watching. I have news for them, we are ALWAYS watching.
Amen, I also have relatives in law enforcement and they along with I agree this does not address the root problem and in no way make their jobs any safer.
Free Men Own Guns, Slaves Do NOT!
TRUTH= “The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed”
