Contradictory ATF letter rulings under scrutiny

...

The ATF recommends that manufacturers voluntarily submit weapons for case-by-case determination. But those judgments are private and, it turns out, sometimes contradictory. Critics say nearly identical prototypes can be approved for one manufacturer but denied for another.

...

It's about time.

Hmmm ... an ongoing problem that waits to surface when the most anti-2A president is in office. I would hate to have the ATF define rules with Obama as the current president. That would be scary.

Yet Obama signed a bill to allow CCW in national parks. That is scary!!!!

Maybe they forgot to send in the administrative fee along with the application?

They're essentially doing that now with the various letter rulings. I think this is the start of a push towards having them conduct business in a more transparent manner (video documentation, etc.).

No, Obama signed a bill having to do with credit card reform that he pretty much HAD to sign and attached to that bill was the CCW rider.

If the bill was JUST CCW in parks, he would never have signed it.

Aside from the reference to the Akins Accelerator, that article is breathtakingly fact-free.

This BS has been discussed here at least twenty times. If you think signing a bill (attached by the GOP representatives) to the credit card reform bill makes Obama pro-gun, you're either hopelessly ignorant or just an obvious troll.

Small, unmarked bills only.

I'm not a great fan of the ATF in general, but I suspect that most of the people who work for the ATF are trying to do a good job while following the law.

The law may be vague (unconstitutionally so?) resulting in contradictory rulings. It just might turn out that those contradictory rulings give us a bit more advantage in our fight for civil rights than might otherwise be ours.

Is there any other way?

The Roster is an abomination of inconsistency in of itself. I hoep this legal tack and others are the beginning of the end for it.

How long will any inquiry really last? And how far would it go?
BATFE: "We're doing it right."
CONGRESS: "OH. OK."

Issa can be fairly aggressive.

The Senate couldn't care less.

How much does the roster have to do with the ATF again?
