The 2A Foundation publishes Gunmag, and last week they had an article that discussed the ATF's three pronged attack on gun rights, which are

1. Fast and Furious, as a way to make gun dealers complicit in violence in Mexico by withholding from public knowledge the fact that these said gun dealers worked in cahoots and good faith with the ATF in the belief that it was about tracking and stopping gun smuggling/straw purchases.
   
2. Pull new rules and regulations out of thin air and apply them to manufactures/importers/retailers, such an example was what happened with dealers in Alaska who were harassed by the ATF over their 'bound books' this past summer.
   
3. Go after gunsmiths and regular gun owners which regards to 'manufacturing', home made 'action' jobs, cosmetic adjustments, replacing 'sights, swapping out parts from 'parts guns'.....this could all be claimed to be manufacturing under the ATF's vague rules.
   

Rather interesting read. Makes ya wonder what's gonna happen over the next four years, could be that the current state of gun affairs in NJ be viewed as the 'good old days.

(I wonder how long it will take for this post to be deleted)

I keep saying it over and over... since they can't flat out take away guns due to 2A, they will use "regulation" and "common sense laws" to harass and impede on 2A rights.

exactly.

 

incremental steps, it's just 'common sense'.

So, they have the man power to investigate 10's maybe 100's of millions of people?
