the trump boys are thinning gun regulations; 

 

The Trump administration is triggering hysteria in legacy media ranks over its agenda to relax gun rules.

They’re rolling back a “tsunami” of gun regulations, Axios announced over the weekend, adding that “the effect critics fear is more guns moving with less federal scrutiny.”

The New York Times told readers on Sunday, “Trump Administration Rolls Back Dozens of Gun Regulations.” The Times leads with this opening:

The Trump administration is scrapping more than three dozen firearms regulations, abandoning a crackdown on illegal sales, restoring gun rights to some people with mental illness and loosening oversight of private weapons transactions

These rollbacks would reportedly “let Americans ship handguns in the mail, gut Biden-era background check rules and make it harder to yank a gun dealer’s license.”

Rule Changes

Some of these regulatory changes or proposals have been in motion for some time during Trump’s second term. Back in April, the ATF announced changes that would “reduce burdens on law-abiding gun owners and businesses.” An ATF spokesperson said the point was to shift focus to “willful violators and criminal actors, not inadvertent compliance issues by responsible owners and licensees.” The changes included streamlining rules and regulations on forms to make it easier on gun dealers and owners. It also included a ban reversal on “non-lethal training ammunition and dual-use barrels.” You can read more about the changes here..........more...........
